PT to Patient | Stronger After ACL

I'm a licensed physical therapist, strength coach, running coach and ultrarunner now navigating my own recovery from ACL injury and subsequent surgery. This channel documents the highs, lows, lessons and training decisions that come with rebuilding your body after injury.
Here I will share my rehab sessions, strength work, return to run progressions, personals struggles, and the mindset required to come back confident and resilient.


PT to Patient | Stronger After ACL

Welcome to PT to Patient | Stronger After ACL’s! 🎉🎉🎉

I’m so glad you’re here. Whether you’re pre-op, fresh out of surgery, deep in the rehab grind, or getting back to the activities you love—this community is for YOU.

ACL recovery can feel isolating. The setbacks, the slow progress, the mental battles—I get it. I’m a PT, strength coach, and ultra runner navigating my own ACL recovery, and I created this space to share the real, unfiltered journey—not just the clinical side, but what it actually feels like to go from patient to athlete again.

Here’s what you can expect:

✓ My personal recovery story—the good days and the frustrating ones
✓ Real talk from someone living this alongside you
✓ What I’ve learned from both sides of the table—as a PT and now as a patient going through it myself (always follow your own PT and surgeon’s protocol!)
✓ A judgment-free zone to share experiences and ask questions
✓ Celebration of every win, no matter how small
✓ A community that actually understands what you’re going through

Important note: Every ACL recovery is unique, and I’m not an ACL specialist. Always follow your surgeon’s protocol and your PT’s guidance. This community is about sharing experiences and supporting each other through the journey.

Drop a comment below and introduce yourself:

• Where are you in your recovery journey?

• What’s your biggest challenge right now?

• What are you working toward?

Let’s build something special together. You’ve got this—and you’ve got us. 💪
