ACL Rehab and Performance Lab Specialist, Laura SapperLaura and I dive into ACL tears: why are there so many ACL injuries these days? Why is re-tear rate so high? How can we better prepare these athletes to return to sport?As rehab professionals, we need to place the emphasis on the ATHLETE, not just the tear. There are more athletes than ever tearing their ACL, and unfortunately, standard care isn’t cutting it. 20-25% of these athletes are re-tearing and having to start over.The problems of the ACLer are multifactorial, but there’s a lot of ways the system could be better built to serve this population.That’s where the ACL Performance Lab comes in - Laura talks about why she chose to specialize in treating athletes with ACL injuries and how she’s elevating ACL rehab: @made2move_ACLwww.made2movept.com/acl-rehab-program
