This week on the Movement Therapy Podcast, Ethan and Zoe continue their chat with Dr Tom Cross about ACL management.

We discuss the actual recover process - who's involved, what are the timeframes, who needs to be part of the rehab team and what are the extra considerations including nutrition etc. We touch on the return to sport and what is required for getting back to whatever you used to after and ACL tear.

Well worth a listen if you play any sort of change of direction sport or have recently (or know anyone who has) torn their ACL.

This week, Ethan and Zoe kick off an exciting mini series on the knee. It's a fascinating yet complex joint with many structures you may have heard of but not fully understand.

In this first episode, we’ll uncover the secrets of theknee’s anatomy - how bones, muscles, ligaments and other structures team up to keep you moving.

We then zoom in on the ACL, diving into its physiology and why it’s so essential for stability and function of the knee. To wrap up, we’ll explore how the kneemoves during walking, with a spotlight on the dynamic roles the ACL and PCL play together in achieving knee stability during movement.

Let’s get started!
