Dr. Nicole Surdyka (pronounced Surdih-kuh!, IG: @dr.nicolept) is a sports physical therapist based in Los Angeles area, California. She is what I call the queen of rehabbing knees & ankles! In Part Two of this episode, she breaks down the ins and outs of returning to play, from the moment an athlete gets injured until they step back into a match again. If you are curious about rehab and returning to sport, or in the process of doing it yourself, this episode is for you!

If you haven't listened to Part One with Dr. Nicole, make sure to catch that episode as well.
