In this episode, we dive into a powerful analogy—the undercooked vs. overcooked concept—to reframe how we approach loading and progression in ACL rehab. We emphasize the importance of starting conservatively to avoid unnecessary flare-ups that can derail recovery, especially in the early stages post-injury or surgery. You’ll learn why “undercooking” is a safer and smarter strategy that still allows for consistent progress, how to read your body’s response to training, and why psychological wins from easier starts matter. This episode is packed with practical strategies for athletes and clinicians alike to better manage load, symptoms, and long-term outcomes for ACL rehab.
