The results you've been looking for, aren't in a magical exercise found on social media. And they definitely aren't in "giving it more time" on a plan that you don't feel confident in.

The results you've been looking for lie behind the action you're hesitant to make. To get the help you need.

The standard of care for ACL & Knee injuries is 👎

With only ~55% of people returning to pre-injury levels after ACL surgery - your odds are basically a coin toss.

I'm here the change that.

It's my personal mission to help active people return to the life they love safely & confidently.

👎Recover strong. Return stronger.

Full range of motion after ACL surgery

Might seem impossible.

My online client felt this way.

5 months after surgery and still dealing with extension and flexion motion deficits.

Contributing to pain, swelling, difficulty with stairs, and abnormal walking.

😮‍💨He was stuck. He was out of work for months. Seemed like a dead end.

But he didn't let his life circumstances dictate his health. He knew his circumstances didn't change what needed to be done.

👉So he drew a line in the sand and got resourceful.

Fast forward 2 weeks and now he's almost got his full range of motion back, has less pain, and is getting stronger every week.

It's not magic.

✅️ It's specific guidance.

If this sounds like you, you're not alone.

Help exists.  This is what we specialize in.

I want everyone to get the help they need, so I created a free training on how to regain full range of motion after ACL surgery.

A big misconception in ACL rehab👇

is that you NEED "hands on" manual therapy, cupping, scraping, "scar tissue work", etc. to get your motion back👎

FOLLOW @acl.rx 👈for daily knee recovery tips

"But John, it helps !"

Not saying it can't. But the results are temporary at best & its not needed.

👆Research- based, not my opinion

The reality is, you could have all the cool & flashy hands on treatment in the world and still not get your full motion back.

Why?

Because the plan isn't effective.❌️

It's like trying to bake a cake but missing sugar and flour.🎂

no matter how much you mix the batter - the end result will fall short.

Many of my clients start working with me and have knee range of motion issues despite having "hands on" treatment for months.

What we achieve in a few short weeks once felt impossible after months of effort.

100% ONLINE.

It sounds crazy - but it's not magic.

✅️ It's all about identifying the root cause and developing the right plan to address it.

Through online ACL coaching - I will be with you every step of this process.

To make sure every important box is being checked. 

To make sure you get back to what you love at 100%

ACL recovery isn't fair.

Some people bounce back somewhat easily; others not so much.

Some people have access to a highly qualified PT from the start; others don't

🃏We can either become a victim to the cards we're dealt, or we can learn how to play them better.

When James and I started working together, he was 19 months out from surgery.  Knee pain with running, lingering swelling, and just at a standstill. He was discharged from local PT with no true direction.

Fast forward 5 months and now he's back to trial runs and was able to hit the ski slopes this past season.🏃‍♂️⛷️

His words - "I followed you on Instagram for 8 months and wish I reached out sooner, damn."

The lesson - He took action.  The fear of living a "new normal" scared the 💩 out of him.

So if you're in a similar boat, you can either get the help you need, or hope & pray things magically turn the corner.  

💯The biggest regret is not what we did do, it's what we didn't do.
