In this episode, we discuss a common theme that I often see with ACLers when it comes to choosing their ACL team. We dive into how this search looks, the best and worst case scenarios, a helpful rating system, and accessing elite level care.

In this episode, we tackle the #1 mistake I often see that makes swelling stick around. We dive into the downsides of swelling, diagnosing the problem, ACLers who feel they're "following the plan", case examples, and a very helpful 4-step framework for you to put into play for your own ACL rehab. If you're someone dealing with swelling or helping others to manage it, this will be a super helpful episode.

In this episode, we dive into navigating travel during ACL rehab. Inevitably, travel will happen for many folks over the course of 9-12+ months of a rehab process. So how do you handle it? This episode covers the conversations we have with our ACLers and one you should consider in your own travel/vacation planning, being different than your normal routine, game planning it, exceptions to this, and what's the reality of how travel impacts your ACL rehab.

In this episode, we discuss opportunity cost in ACL rehab. Every decision we make has an opportunity cost. Each week, I have people reach out with problems, questions, and concerns regarding their cases. I want to break down the realities of these conversations and what it has costed them (them being 13 different ACLers) based on poor guidance and waiting. In majority of cases, it's not their fault. It's a bigger issue - the system as a whole failed them. But, once they realize it's a problem, it's on them to make some moves. Otherwise, it costs them even more - finances, time, physical health, mental health, and so much more. I wanted to do this episode to pull back the curtain on the realities of what's quite common in this space. I hope that this allows you to take control of your own ACL rehab and process.

In this episode, we discuss the realities behind a true ACL rehab journey vs. what you might see on social media. Understanding the purpose of these platforms and the inherent nature of social media can help us understand how to better filter what we choose to see and the perspective we have on it. This episode unpacks this idea and helps you to get out of the comparison trap and create a better headspace for your own ACL journey.

In this episode, we discuss a commonly overlooked benchmark in ACL rehab - your uninvolved side. While this leg has to take on the load early on, it can be a helpful proxy for a number of things in the ACL rehab process. What's important is that we have to be honest about what standards we're comparing it to to make sure we're not using a not-so-good standard. This episode highlights an important component ACLers are searching for - the "feel" and what's "normal" and being able to find some signal within all the noise in this ACL rehab process.

In this episode, we share the number one question to vet and see if your physical therapist/rehab provider is legit for you and your ACL rehab.

In part 2 of this 2-part podcast episode series, I discuss an upcoming surgery I'm having. I pull back the curtain on my own journey getting here, being super open and transparent about my whole process, the challenges I've faced, and how I came to this decision. This episode specifically highlights how I did my research on the right procedure, the procedure itself, the right surgeon, the transparent costs of what I'm paying for insurance and this procedure, and practicing what I preach for the rehab side of things. I'm putting it all out there, so I hope you get something out of hearing my story and personal journey.
