You'll also get insights into the psychology behind pain, what the deal is with non-operative ACL options, and exactly when and how athletes can start pre-running exercises and eccentric loading for the best recovery possible. Plus, Kalen shares insights into the framework he uses to structure rehab, keep athletes motivated, and build the strength and confidence they need to get back in action.
