About this listen
In this episode, we explore one of the most misunderstood aspects of ACL rehab: setbacks. We dive deep into the non-linear nature of recovery and how regression doesn’t mean failure and how reframing this makes a massive difference in this process. Drawing from personal coaching experience and thought leaders, we reframe setbacks and "missed milestones" as necessary adjustments rooted in readiness, not punishment. You'll learn why protocols based strictly on time can do more harm than good, how to recognize when an athlete simply isn’t ready for a task, and why adaptive, individualized programming is essential. Whether you're an ACLer or a clinician, this episode will shift your mindset and equip you with a more realistic and empowering perspective for the ACL rehab journey.
