The Athletes Experience – Part 3: From Wrong PT to Real Recovery

What happens when you spend two months at the wrong PT clinic — and realize your recovery isn’t going anywhere?

In this episode, a CB East lacrosse player opens up about her ACL journey — from frustration and weak progress to finding the right rehab environment at IvyRehab, where everything changed.

Referred by a teammate, she came in 8 weeks post-op with poor range of motion and weak quad activation. Fast-forward: she’s running again, rebuilding her strength, and training to return to the lacrosse field — all while preparing for her next chapter in college pre-med and anesthesiology.

Topics Covered:

• What went wrong in early rehab and how to spot poor programming

• The difference proper ACL rehab makes at IvyRehab

• Overcoming setbacks and building confidence in return-to-run phase

• Mental toughness, discipline, and the comeback mindset

• Balancing recovery, school, and college aspirations

Don’t miss this powerful story of perseverance, progress, and passion.

Part One: Featuring Jostin Garrido

Jostin is in the middle of his second ACL recovery and has been grinding with Mike and the team at Ivy Rehab in Warminster for the past 13 months.

On this episode, Jostin takes us inside his journey by answering questions like:

🔹 What was your first thought when you learned you tore your ACL?

🔹 What was the hardest part about the early days after surgery?

🔹 Did you feel rehab prepared you mentally as well as physically?

🔹 Who or what motivated you the most when recovery felt overwhelming?

🔹 How confident were you the first time you ran, jumped, or cut again?

🔹 What’s the one thing you wish you had known at the start of your rehab?

This isn’t just about exercises or protocols — it’s about the mindset, the support system, and the fight it takes to return to play.

🔥 Whether you’re an athlete, parent, or coach — you’ll take away real insights from Jostin’s experience.

he 15 Minute Juice | ACL RETURN 2 PLAY Roadmap (10–16 Months)

In this episode, Dr. Mike and I dive into what truly matters once the athlete is back in practice — but not yet at 100%.

Too often, athletes are “released” at 9 months and thrown into full practices without a clear workload progression or communication between coaches and rehab. That’s where mistakes (and setbacks) happen.

We break down:

✅ How to properly progress workload from limited reps → controlled drills → full game scenarios

✅ The detailed handout we provide to coaches so they know exactly what an athlete can and cannot do during practice

✅ How to bridge the gap between PT discharge and true return-to-play readiness

✅ Strategies to monitor fatigue, confidence, and skill reintegration during the 10–16 month phase

This stage is about more than “being cleared.” It’s about building capacity, confidence, and communication so the athlete returns safer, stronger, and fully prepared.

Welcome to The 15-Minute Juice, where we cut the fluff and get you the good stuff in under 15. I’m your host, Coach Hos. back with me is Dr. Mike St. George, PT — let’s juice this question. Before we start we have some sponsors we want to shout out! 

0-15: Introduction of Dr. Pietropaoli, updates on non operative techniques and total body holistic approach, review of movement quality and review of the BEAR ACL technique.

15-25: The reality of the ACL Re tear rate, review of the BEAR Protocols, Quad tendon grafts.

25-35: Proper progressions following BEAR ACL, learning curves for rehab specialist and surgeons.

35-45 Repair, not knee replacement, understanding cartilage degeneration, bone marrow lesions, understanding stem cell research and use.

45-55: Stem cell therapy and PRP, Gene therapy, telemedicine laws and hurdles with state licensure, optimizing performance with the proper resources

55-65: Preventative approach, coaches and team sports need to implement off seasons, strengthening programs, multiple ACL tears at young ages.

65-70: Wrap Up and big picture of injuries at all levels.

0-20: Chet Paulsen introduction and talking about the birth of Rockcuffs, understanding Blood Flow Restriction, design of BFR cuffs. Design problems are the main cause for safety issues. Truly dissecting research and understanding improper or misrepresented studies. Hormonal response to BFR, endocrine response, cause for DOMS. Using BFR for pain reduction for up to 24 hours afterwards.

20-30: BFR reduces pain, improves strength and muscle size, improve adherence to use, uses for recovery. Ability to improve Vo2 Max levels. Importance of using BFR on both limbs.

30-40: Targeting both sides with BFR as both limbs become affected after an injury/surgery. Average person does not know their 1 Rep max, can use BFR with minimal exercises with process of tightening and loosening to have benefits. BFR can have benefits during passive range of mobilization and joint mobilizations. BFR is not just mechanical it is endocrine, metabolic hack. Hormonal release is systemic, hypothalamus will put hormones in motion. Cells become more permeable to IGF Insulin growth factor. M Torque 1 is where it makes transition from blood stream to the muscle. BFR can have benefits for slowing diseases like Parkinson's due to angiogenesis process. Importance of using BFR post injury.

40-50: Contraindications to using BFR. Safety and injury issues with BFR come from high pressure. Pressure changes when exercising, Arterial Occlusion pressure changes on muscle based on position of muscle and also from rest to exercises as blood flow increases. Venous pressure is 1/10th of arterial, veins are more compliant as they have a smaller muscle around them, hold 70% of blood volume. Venous occlusion happens between 20-70mm of pressure. Rock cuffs are rigid and equal efficiency pressure of 2 inches. Pneumatic cuffs tend to bubble and limited adequate pressure, too much pressure in the middle. Most pneumatic cuffs are shiny object tools. Understanding cuff size and efficient pressure to limb size.

50-60: Pressure doubles under cuff during exercise, more pressure is not better. Time it takes for set up and ease of putting on cuffs being a factor. Understanding measuring venous pressure, difference between lean individuals and bigger individuals and use of pressure on cuff. Reinforcing again that the pressure in the cuff when the muscle is relaxed changes when the muscle is contracted. 30-15-15-15 with the rest breaks is the aerobic capacity of the muscle. The middle part of the last set, fatigue should occur. Reps should be consistent without a pause, pause means fatigue is setting in and too much pressure. Don't need fancy equipment to tell you how tight a cuff needs to be.

60-70: Understanding proper placement and use of Rockcuffs, adjusting pressure, dosage of exercise. Arterial flow is never full occluded, do not need to fully occlude arterial flow. 18-20 minutes is max time of being occluded. Feedback and observation are best clues to understanding occlusion and fatigue levels. Lactate levels above normal for 10 minutes 3x week, hypothalamus will start it's process. BFR has to be consistent and used as a supplement to exercise not just one set of exercise or one time use during a week.

70-80: BFR is a partnering with body system response not a punishment or trick system like most training programs. Calorie consumption is important for during use of BFR. Central aminos, hydration are key for building blocks IGF, and M Torque 1 process. Protein synthesis will be optimized with BFR, hydration and central aminos. Avoid caffeine for 90 minutes beforehand using BFR routine, Have caffeine after because it is a vasoconstrictor. Following BFR want vasodilation response after Un occluding. BFR allows to do exercise with less weight and less injury due to lower resistance and focus on form and technique. Understanding 30-15-15-15 and 30-30-30 regimens. Want to keep pressure low and regimens prescribed the proper way to ensure adherence and reduce DOMS. And more…

0-15: Robert Andrews getting back on and seeing an increase in ACL injuries. Understanding the complexity of the ACL injury and initial exposure to the gravity of the situation. Discussing the loss of identity issues surrounding a major injury. The sensory input from the trauma of the injury, sights, sounds, smells and the holographic imprint from the limbic system in the brain.

15-25: Physical therapy and physical progress can only be maximized when the mental piece is in the right place. Interference mentally can stall physical actions. Understanding appropriate access to sports psychology and a plan of care/prognosis that will work for an athlete. The challenges that can limit the ability to work cooperatively with multiple disciplines. 

25-30:Underlying concussion symptoms affecting progress. Athletes recovering from a major injury need direction and progression points. The challenge with understaffed training rooms and resources. Efficient rehab processes and focusing finances on mental and physical health with individualized programs. The challenge w/ organized sports and fear mongering of participation. Parents requiring some mental health care in response to their child's injury.

30-35: Exaggeration of emotions and expectations in response to the injury. Triggering responses to the injury and situation. Concussion correlation to injury.

35-40: Pushing the buy in for making the change in improving human performance and reducing injuries for our youth. Coaches punishing their athletes for missing practice for therapy or sports psychology. Understanding what a true coach is, coaching moment and coaching principles.

40-45: Conquering irrational fears following injury. ACLs are affecting children as young as 8 years old. 

45-50: Anxiety, stress and sleep deprivation are major components contributing to injuries. The toxicity of social media and how it affects the mental space of an individual coming back from injury and on a daily basis. Social media creating a complex of perfectionism. The organized sports schedule drastically affecting time for rest and recovery for youth with schoolwork and practices. Using wearables such as Whoop strap to help monitor health of athletes.

50-55: Social media affecting Olympic athletes and the craze of attraction and attention, viewership affecting lifestyle and performance. The book "The Anxious Generation". 

55-60: Trauma comes from many items, not just injury but can stem from fears of behavior or activity. How memory is processed with traumatic experiences.  

Wrap up and big picture of sports psychology, conquering injuries and efficiency healthcare.
