There are many options for graft sources when performing an ACL reconstruction. There are pros and cons to them all.

One graft type, an allograft, probably deserves a different rehabilitation approach. We often go slower with this graft type.

We talk about why in this episode.

It is important as physical therapists that we are exposed to a diverse range of the profession during school.

Many students that want to get into sports or orthopedics feel like they don’t get as much out of the PT clinical affiliations outside of those areas.

But, we think there’s a ton to learn in every environment that will help you with your future career.

As physical therapists, we often do a great job with the early phases of rehabilitation and helping people restore motion and strength.

In this episode, we talk about how we progress people and build their loading capacity.

It’s unfortunate that many physical clinics have limits on the amount of time you can spend with a patient. We all want to spend a ton of time with our patients, especially in the later stages of rehab when there is so much to do.

In this episode, we’re going to talk about some strategies on how to deal with these limitations.

We treat a lot of baseball players at Champion. And one thing is certain, throwing a baseball sure does make a lot of people lose shoulder mobility!

We often see this correlated with medial elbow pain, so when someone is rehabbing an elbow injury like Tommy John, we often focus as much on the shoulder as the elbow.

We talk about this concept and more in this episode.

Any surgery that involves repairing a torn tendon will have the potential to have complications. Most commonly, this involves a loss of motion.

A lot of people assume that humans should be symmetrical. But I’m not sure that’s accurate, so I’m not a fan of blaming injuries on asymmetry.

More importantly, many sports are unilateral in nature and require asymmetrical movements.

In this episode, we talk about how we deal with asymmetry for both injury prevention and performance enhancement.
