About this listen

In this episode, Patrick Dessaulles sits down with renowned physical therapist Erik Meira to explore the complexity of knee rehabilitation in high-performance athletes. Drawing on nearly three decades of experience, Erik discusses the importance of mastering foundational principles—like force production, isolated strength testing, and the physics of deceleration—to optimize recovery and performance.

Together they explore:

  • Why the knee is a uniquely complex joint for rehab
  • Common pitfalls in return-to-sport protocols
  • Practical insights for integrating force, time, and load into rehab
  • What to expect from Erik's upcoming Knee Rehab course with PABC this November
