• 199 | Avoiding the Range of Motion Regression in ACL Rehab: Key Self-Tests for Maintenance
    Nov 21 2024

    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.

    Nov 14 2024

    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.

    Nov 7 2024

    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.

  • 194 | Should You Go to Your Surgeon’s Recommended Physical Therapy Clinic for ACL Rehab?
    Oct 17 2024

    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?

  • 192 | Cleared But Not Ready: Understanding the Difference in Medical vs. Physical Clearance in ACL Rehab
    Oct 3 2024

    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.
