Let’s clear something up first👇

There are some incredible local sports PTs out there who are more than capable of guiding you through a high-level ACL recovery.

But that’s not the norm for many.

The reality is, I speak to people every single week who are still dealing with knee pain, limitations, and uncertainty months and even years after their ACL or knee injury/surgery.

And the common theme👇
They don’t have a clear plan, there's no testing to guide their rehab, and it becomes a guessing game.

If your provider doesn’t truly understand the intricacies of this recovery, it can lead to generic programming, missed progressions, and lingering issues that shouldn’t still be there.

ACL recovery is often portrayed as “take it easy early, and then over time you’ll naturally get back to normal.”

That’s not how this works. Getting back to running, cutting, sports, hiking—whatever you love—requires a structured, progressive plan with clear direction every step of the way.

Without that, you’re just guessing. And no, you can't out-work a poor plan.

If you feel lost right now, or like you’re just winging it, I can help.

Waiting, thinking, researching, comparing, “just giving it more time”…

Sometimes the biggest barrier isn’t your knee.
It’s the stories we tell ourselves.

Progress starts the moment you decide.

The first 2-3 months after ACL and knee surgery set the stage for EVERYTHING else to come.

The "boring" stuff
✅️Full range of motion
✅️Quality quad activation
✅️Normal walking mechanics
✅️Foundational movement patterns

This is often seen as the "easy, basic" stage- yet why are there so many people who are 3+ months or years out missing these foundational milestones?

Most ACL recoveries fail in the first 3 months...don't let that be you

Full range of motion after ACL surgery

Might seem impossible.

My online client felt this way.

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

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

😮‍💨She was stuck. And getting back on the jui-jitsu mats started to feel out of reach.

So instead of "thinking about" getting help, she drew a line in the sand and we got to work.

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.

There is no “best” ACL graft — only better choices for specific people.

Unfortunately, many people aren't educated much on graft types before their surgery. There are specific differences that should be considered.

🤔While there are differences in graft failure rates, the findings may surprise you. Are there really significant differences between grafts? If so, then for who?

So whether you are waiting for surgery, or maybe want to see your grafts unique implications, I have a free video that will answer these questions.

✅️ I break down every graft option, who each one is best for, and what the research actually says.
