⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Priceless and incredible experience with The ACL Academy. When my insurance cut me off and said I was fine since I could walk again. I knew I still needed help, I couldn’t sit cross legged on the floor, I couldn’t squat all the way down, I could barely do a single leg calf raise but most of all I couldn’t run with out a lot of pain. I wanted all of the things back I use to have. Kaan helped me with all of that and more. Mentally and physically I can say I was supported and given all the tools I needed to get me back again. I set a new all time PR for running 3 miles and have better muscle tone than ever! From the bottom of my heart I am thankful and would 💯percent recommend to anyone.

I had worked with three other PT’s and felt that I wasn’t getting a personalized rehab plan. I had lost hope. I started working with Kaan when I was 8 months post op. He helped me get back to mountain biking and playing hockey! He will guide you physically and mentally throughout the process. I couldn’t have done it without him. Thank you Kaan!!!

I had ACL surgery and completed 10 months of physical therapy. At about a year and a few months past ACL surgery and post discharge of PT, I was frustrated. My strength levels were not where I wanted them to be and I wanted to get back to activities I loved. I was discouraged thinking I’d never get there and it was too late. Covid lockdown happened and I was at a complete standstill. I didn’t have a solid plan to follow and felt lost. I found Kaan’s instagram page and appreciated the information he provided. I reached out to him and after a phone conversation I felt confident he could help me get back to running and the strength finish line. I was so happy with the program, support and accountability that Kaan provided! Kaan set up my account with an interactive app of tailored exercise and set up weekly check in’s. Kaan also understands and helps with the mental aspect of healing. Assisted with goal setting, visualization, and journaling everyday. Anytime I had questions I could message Kaan and he was very responsive. His dedication to my recovery was amazing. I truly felt supported. Today my strength levels are fantastic and I’m happy to say I’m back to ramping up my running program. There was a time I thought I’d never get back to what I love but with Kaan’s guidance and my hard work, I’m positive I’ll continue to lead an active life I love Contact Kaan today if you feel lost in your ACL journey to healing! You won’t regret it!

When I first found Dr. Celebi, I was 9 weeks post injury and staring medical bankruptcy in the face. I decided to give him a shot before I threw everything I had at a surgeon. We did a video conference and within a few hours, he had some exercises recommended and a schedule made. I was nervous because I hate working out, but not only were these exercises targeted directly to my knee, they were very doable, and I got more pain relief from them than anything I had tried up to that point. That was enough to keep me with the program. Within a few weeks of following his schedule I was able to get into the shower without help, complete daily tasks like cooking and doing the dishes, as well as start thinking about getting that brace off. Dr. Celebi was a step ahead of me and made sure to stress the psychological aspect of removing a brace after so long. It was harder than I thought, but he got me there. Using the routine he gave me, then tweaked as I got stronger, I am able to resume my normal activities, things like walking and gardening. He helped me get my life back after thinking I may wind up a cripple due to no insurance. I went from having pretty high pain scores of 6/8 at night to 0 in a few short weeks of doing less than a half hour of repetitive exercises that take very little effort. I saved a whole lot of money by giving him a shot, and I now have a new routine in place that will be with me long after I am no longer in the program. Joining up changed my life, in a really great way. It’s so worth it!!

Before coming across ACL Academy, I felt I had no structure in rehabing and the strenghtening of the muscles around an ACL- less knee. I am not an athlete, but I do have an active lifestyle and do sports often. And I chose to go conservatively, without surgery. The strength and mobility exercises captured in the ACL Academy are great – there are many 😂 (one needs consistency to pay off right?!) but are truly great! Mobility helped loads not to have the pressure in front of my knee and the aductor tendon issues that occured along the way. The strength exercises are built gradually and are changed from one week to another, as you develop. Having a structured program supported dissipating the anxiety and fear that developed following the accident: there are fantastic mental exercises and Kaan is a great coach! He is truly there, with constant support and advice. Plus he is a great human being! 😊 Highly recommending ACL Academy to anyone who struggles or feels lost in this hard recovery path! 💪🏻
