Pain is information!!

Don’t let it run the show. Use it as the information it truly is.
Progress stalls when we avoid pain at all costs OR if we just keep saying pain is normal and then end up in a hot mess!

Rehab doesn’t stall from lack of effort.
It stalls when decisions aren’t guided by data.

Waiting didn’t change Kimi’s outcome.Changing the approach did.

At this stage, not changing the approach is still a decision.

If you’re a parent or athlete in this process and feel so freaking confused …you’re not crazy and you certainly aren’t alone!!

I hear this all the time:
“Well, the surgeon said…”
“Well, the protocol says…”
“It’s just so confusing.”

Mhm, of course it is!!

What’s said in a 5–15 minute surgeon visit and what’s written on a protocol are often two very different things.

Protocols are guardrails, NOT a personalized rehab plan.
They don’t account for you, your strength, your swelling, your fear, your life!

Then you hear in PT:
“Well… the protocol says we need to do X.”

Okay. But what if you’re still struggling?
What if you got sick? Missed time?
Had a flare-up? Took a vacation and lived your life?

The protocol doesn’t change But your knee still has to.
That’s where women get stuck because their “protocol” doesnt problem-solve….

That’s what I do:
I problem solve and adjust the plan when life happens or adapt when the timeline just doesn’t fit and regularly coach the details the protocol missed.

Navigating ACL rehab takes judgment, experience, and the ability to adjust not just following the plan perfectly.

If this made you think, “Oh my god, yes.”

Most PTs aren’t set up to get you back to 100%.⁠
⁠
This isn’t about bashing PTs—there are absolutely great ones out there. But most clinics face real limitations:⁠
⁠
❌ They don’t always specialize in ACL recovery.⁠
❌ They don’t always keep up with the latest research.⁠
❌ They lack the equipment needed for full return to sport.⁠
❌ They’re stuck in a broken system—limited time, insurance constraints, and a revolving door of patients.⁠
⁠
You need a plan that fills in the gaps.⁠
⁠
I work with PTs across the country to make sure our mutual clients don’t fall behind. I bridge the gap between sessions so you don’t get left in limbo—and insurance doesn’t cap your potential.⁠
⁠
Most people who fail ACL rehab don’t fail because they didn’t try hard enough… they failed because they didn’t have the right team.⁠
⁠
DM "TEAM" if you’re serious about getting this right!

Dog training and ACL rehab have more in common than you think.⁠
⁠
Both require:⁠
✅ A detailed plan tailored to the individual⁠
✅ Consistency—without it, progress stalls⁠
✅ A coach who understands the process inside and out⁠
⁠
Yet, when it comes to ACL rehab, most people just go with the first recommendation they hear—usually from their surgeon.⁠
⁠
Big mistake.⁠
⁠
You wouldn’t take a one-size-fits-all approach to training a dog. So why would you do it for one of the most complex recoveries in sports?⁠
⁠
Take the time to explore all your options. Find someone who:⁠
🔹 Listens to your fears and concerns⁠
🔹 Has the latest knowledge on ACL recovery⁠
🔹 Guides you through every phase so nothing gets missed⁠
⁠
Your outcome depends on who’s coaching you through it.⁠
⁠
DM "PLAN" if you want to get ACL rehab right.

Tearing your ACL & navigating recovery doesn’t just test your knee.
It tests your identity and makes you carry feelings than anyone warned you about.

Know that you’re not alone 💜

Let’s talk about the real reason you’re stuck in your ACL recovery…

Comment GUIDE to know what strength benchmarks you need to progress through each phase

It’s not your “bad knee.”
It’s not just pain.
It’s not because you’re unmotivated.

It’s because you’ve been doing the wrong sh*t for way too long—because no one told you better.

And I see it ALL the damn time:
•Ditching crutches when the knee isn’t actually ready
•Stopping everything the second pain shows up
•Doing quad sets for months like that’s going to magically build those spicy quad tenders. 🤔

This isn’t about checking rehab boxes—it’s about rebuilding trust in your knee (and your body).

If you’re tired of doing everything “right” and still feeling behind…
you’re not crazy. You just need better rehab.

Let’s clean this up. You deserve more.

You don’t need to do more.
You need to do what actually works.

If your knee still flares up every time you push it…
If you’re still guessing how much is “too much”…
If you’re months out and still don’t feel confident—

Start here.
This is what I have my clients focus on every single week—
and it works.

I’m enrolling 2 new clients right now inside The ACL Motive.
If you’re ready for a plan that actually moves the needle—
shoot me a DM.
