09/12/24 • 22 min
In this episode, we dive into what I call the "honeymoon phase" of ACL rehab. We cover what it is, the timing, the milestones surrounding it, and what happens after. A big part of this is managing our expectations and energy around the ACL rehab process. If you're prepared for it, then you'll be able to stay steady cruising playing the long game.
