288 | Should You Let Your PT Crank On Your Knee In ACL Rehab?

from The ACL Athlete Podcast

In this episode, we walk through a real case that has us fired up. An ACL athlete four and a half months post op, 40 physical therapy sessions in, finally hit a breaking point and told her PT to stop. We get into what was actually happening in that clinic, why it backfired, and a detail about her knee that should have been caught weeks earlier. We also break down the real difference between what builds lasting range of motion and what just feels like progress in the moment. If you've ever dreaded walking into a PT session, this one will change how you think about that feeling._________Want a clear plan for your ACL rehab?1 on 1 Remote ACL Coaching is for ACLers who are tired of guessing.
