Call UsAbout Wehab
Wehab is an evidence-based sports rehabilitation center where one can get the finest and most advanced treatment for your mind and body. Wehab is the foremost one introducing micro and macro currents. Surface EMG, a diagnostic tool used solely in a few select places, is being introduced into the clinical setting for the first time. We at Wehab treat patients actively to achieve their highest physical and mental well-being. We are here not only to treat the conditions but also to prevent and educate about injuries.
Primary Components of the Program
- Muscle Strength – a regular strengthening program focusing on the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes and calves can help athletes better handle the demands of sports. Additionally, it will improve their ability to perform the plyometric and balancing tasks.
- Neuromuscular Training (NMT) – Exercises that involve an athlete’s ability to demonstrate control and optimal movement patterns that are required for sports. The purpose of NMT is to improve dynamic joint stability.
- Proprioception – The awareness of where’s one body is in space and is closely linked with NMT. Proprioception can improve with exercises that address balance, coordination and postural control.
- Plyometrics – Dynamic exercises that involve jumping and landing.
- Deceleration and Cutting – practicing how to properly decelerate and change directions is pivotal for reducing injuries
About Program
An ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) injury reduction program for athletes should focus on several key points to educate them about injury prevention. Here are some essential components:
- Understanding the Anatomy and Mechanics
- Function of the ACL: Teach athletes about the role of the ACL in stabilizing the knee during athletic movements.
- Common Mechanisms of Injury: Explain how ACL injuries typically occur (e.g., sudden stops, changes in direction, awkward landings).
- Proper Warm-Up Techniques
- Dynamic Stretching: Emphasize the importance of a dynamic warm-up to increase blood flow and prepare muscles and joints for activity.
- Movement Preparation: Incorporate sport-specific drills that simulate game scenarios.
- Strengthening Exercises
- Focus on Key Muscle Groups: Highlight exercises to strengthen the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and core, which support knee stability.
- Balance Training: Incorporate balance and proprioception exercises to enhance joint stability and control.
- Plyometric and Agility Training
- Controlled Landings: Teach proper techniques for landing from jumps, emphasizing knees over toes and maintaining balance.
- Agility Drills: Include drills that improve lateral movement and change of direction while maintaining proper body mechanics.
- Neuromuscular Training
- Coordination and Motor Control: Educate athletes on how to improve their neuromuscular control through targeted drills, which can influence muscle recruitment patterns.
- Reaction Time Drills: Include exercises that require quick adjustments to enhance reaction time and adaptability to unpredictable situations.
- Biomechanics Education
- Proper Posture and Form: Reinforce the importance of proper body alignment and technique during movements, such as cutting and jumping.
- Movement Analysis: Use video analysis or coach feedback to help athletes understand their movement patterns.
- Recovery and Rehabilitation
- Importance of Recovery: Discuss the importance of adequate recovery, rest, and rehabilitation post-injury to prevent recurrence.
- Injury Awareness: Educate athletes to recognize early signs of knee discomfort or instability.
- Psychosocial Factors
- Mental Preparedness: Address the psychological aspects of training and the fear of re-injury, which can affect performance.
- Encouraging Positive Mindsets: Promote resilience and confidence through mental training techniques.
- Consistency and Commitment
- Regular Training Programs: Stress the importance of commitment to injury prevention training as a regular part of their athletic routine.
- Team Culture: Foster a team culture that prioritizes injury prevention and supports all athletes in participating in programs.
- Communication with Coaches and Trainers
- Collaboration: Encourage open communication between athletes, coaches, trainers, and medical professionals to ensure everyone is informed and aligned on injury prevention strategies.
By focusing on these key points, you can enhance education and awareness among athletes about the importance of ACL injury reduction programs, ultimately helping to prevent injuries and improve overall performance.
I was coming in with a lower back injury that hadnt been resolved for over 2 months even with the consultation of other physios, but Wehab identified my problem immediately and took the correct steps to help me fix my issue. I recommend it for anyone who has any sort of issue or rehab for a previous injury. Thanks to Dr. Sunil and his team.

We went to Sunil under desperate conditions as we had an emergency situation with our son. Due to chronic poor posture, my son developed several severe muscular spasms in his thoracic and lumbar area. It was painful for him to sit/stand, and even lying down was painful.
Sunil talked us through what was causing his pain and what would be the best course of treatment for him. As we do not live in Hyderabad, we had a limited time available for my son's treatment. Despite the time constraints, Sunil and his team worked hard to help my son restore his condition. By the end of 7 days of treatment, my son was nearly pain-free, and he felt 90% better.
As a parent, I felt confident and assured by Sunil. He and his team create a positive environment for the patients and work meticulously and swiftly to help the patients in their best interest. I can not recommend his clinic highly enough. They work towards helping their clients become pain-free permanently, provided there is a synergistic effort from both parties.
