The ACL Athlete Podcast

In this episode, we cover range of motion regressions that might happen during ACL rehab. ACLers might achieve their target ROM and then move on to the next without ever revisiting. Sometimes this may lead to a regression. We tackle some ways to self-test yourself and make sure that you avoid being one of these athletes that has that regression in the first place.

In this episode, we discuss how to be adaptive in the ACL rehab process. Life things will come up, sometimes you'll have more time, sometimes less, and different seasons come and go, which means goals and the plan needs to adjust with it. This can be a massive game-changer in setting you up for success during a hard season or possibly failure by overreaching and certain expectations.

In this episode, we dive into how to handle the question "how are you doing" in ACL rehab. While it might seem straight forward, this process is long. And, there are times where you won't feel like answering this question. But, we need to make sure we inform our support system, but do so in a way that we can make sure we are putting our mental health first.

In this episode, we cover a very common mistake I see when ACLers are working on their knee extension ROM and how you can make sure you avoid it to get your full extension back.

In this episode, we answer the question on whether or not you should go to the physical therapy clinic your surgeon recommends - maybe that's one that they like or one connected to their company and office. This can put you in a tough position as an ACLer, especially when this is all new and you're going on a bit of blind faith and trust. So, what do you do?

In this episode, we discuss a scenario in which full matching hyperextension might not be the end goal with an ACLer. We break down a case, how hypermobility plays into this, normal and abnormal ranges, my approach to tackling hyperextension in unique cases like this, and other considerations for regaining knee hyperextension.

In this episode, we discuss the perception of getting "cleared" and what this means when an ACLer gets cleared (or graduates). We need to dissect this a bit more and ask some questions on how this decision is made, who is making it, and what it actually means. Many times, it's a blanket clearance, when in reality it might just be "medical clearance". If you're an ACLer that is looking to get cleared or already has been, this ones for you - could be the difference in a reinjury vs. not.

In this episode, we break down the MIT concept and how this can be a huge game changer in ACL rehab. There's a lot of noise in this process and many things to juggle at the same time - making it very overwhelming. How do we know what to focus on? We tackle the MIT concept that will help streamline this process for ACLers, clinicians, and coaches.

In this episode, we cover whether you should prioritize flexion or extension after ACL injury and surgery. This is something that often gets confused early on in the process and then athletes are having to play catch. We're going to make sure you tackle and prioritize this the right way so you have a solid game plan after your ACL injury and surgery.
