Listen Later

For decades, we’ve believed the ACL cannot heal. But modern research is changing the narrative. 

In this episode, Trent Cooksley from RX Physiotherapy explores the healing potential of ACL injuries, why some knees recover without surgery, and how rehab-first approaches can guide smarter decisions. 

Learn why MRI appearance doesn’t tell the whole story, and how function, not perfection, determines long-term outcomes. 

If you or someone you know is navigating an ACL injury, this episode will help you make evidence-informed choices. 

🎧 Tune in to learn how better testing and smarter rehab strategies can help athletes return to sport with greater confidence and lower risk of re-injury.
