Welcome to
A website that provides evidenced-based information on the diagnosis, treatment and management of ACL injury and other lower limb sports injuries.
My name’s Mick Hughes – I’m an APA Titled Sports & Exercise Physiotherapist, and you’ll find me in the clinic at North Queensland Physiotherapy Centre helping everyday athletes through not-so-everyday injuries (especially ACLs).
I’m a bit of a sports-medicine nerd, and this site is where I turn that obsession into something useful.
Here you’ll find easy-to-read breakdowns of the latest research in sports physiotherapy, ACL rehab and strength & conditioning – written for busy physios, other health professionals, coaches, teachers, parents and, of course, the athletes themselves.
No jargon for the sake of it, no scare tactics – just practical, honest, evidence-based info you can actually use.
The other (very important) job of this website is to make it simple to come and see me.
If you’re dealing with an ACL injury, knee pain, or a sports injury that just isn’t shifting, you can book quickly and easily by clicking the “Make Face to Face Appointment” button on any page.
I hope you enjoy the blogs, learn something new, and feel a little more confident about your rehab, your body and your performance.
And if you need a hand along the way, I’m only an appointment away.
