The Athletes Experience – Part 3: From Wrong PT to Real Recovery
What happens when you spend two months at the wrong PT clinic — and realize your recovery isn’t going anywhere?
In this episode, a CB East lacrosse player opens up about her ACL journey — from frustration and weak progress to finding the right rehab environment at IvyRehab, where everything changed.
Referred by a teammate, she came in 8 weeks post-op with poor range of motion and weak quad activation. Fast-forward: she’s running again, rebuilding her strength, and training to return to the lacrosse field — all while preparing for her next chapter in college pre-med and anesthesiology.
Topics Covered:
• What went wrong in early rehab and how to spot poor programming
• The difference proper ACL rehab makes at IvyRehab
• Overcoming setbacks and building confidence in return-to-run phase
• Mental toughness, discipline, and the comeback mindset
• Balancing recovery, school, and college aspirations
Don’t miss this powerful story of perseverance, progress, and passion.
