If you or someone you know has ever experienced an ACL injury, this episode of Finding Fortitude is a must-listen. Today's guest is Dr. Steph Allen, a physical therapist, orthopedic clinical specialist, and founder of ACL Resolve—a virtual coaching platform helping athletes navigate rehabilitation after ACL injury or reconstruction. She’s a leading voice in ACL rehab and return-to-sport, and I’m so grateful she joined me to share her expertise.
In the episode, we dive into:
- What the ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) is and why it matters in athletics
- Steph's personal experience with ACL injury and reconstruction
- Common risk factors for ACL injuries (especially in female athletes)
- The evolving conversation around surgery vs. non-surgical rehab
- What high-quality ACL rehab should look like
- And more!
Whether you’re an athlete, clinician, coach, or just curious about ACL injuries, this episode is full of evidence-based insights and real-world experience to help you better understand the ACL rehab journey.
