233 | Stuck, Lost, and Piecing It Together: The ACL Rehab No One Talks About

In this episode, we tackle one of the biggest issues plaguing ACL rehab today: athletes being left to “figure it out”. Just because you’re cleared doesn’t mean you’re ready—and DIY-ing your own rehab using Instagram exercises or generic templates can cost you months or even years of progress. We dive into the complexity of ACL rehab, why social media is a minefield of misinformation, and how proper guidance—whether remote or in-person—is essential. We talk through powerful analogies, insights from real conversations with ACLers, and explain why even professionals shouldn’t rehab themselves. If you’ve been piecing together your own workouts or feel lost after PT, this one’s a must-listen. _________ Want a clear plan for your ACL rehab? 1 on 1 Remote ACL Coaching is for ACLers who are tired of guessing.
