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.

In this episode, we dive into what I call the "honeymoon phase" of ACL rehab. We cover what it is, the timing, the milestones surrounding it, and what happens after. A big part of this is managing our expectations and energy around the ACL rehab process. If you're prepared for it, then you'll be able to stay steady cruising playing the long game.
