The Athletic ACL · Office Hours #3 · Free live session for clinicians
Mid stage: earning the first run
Your patient has cleared the early-stage boxes. Now what has to be true before they run, and what do you do when they’re not getting there? This session is about the bridge from “walking normally” to “ready to run.”
Save my spotWho it’s for
- PTs, ATs and performance coaches with ACL patients on their caseload right now.
- Clinicians with a patient stuck between “early stage done” and “cleared to run.”
- Anyone who joined us on Oct 27 or Nov 10 and wants the next step in the progression.
What we’ll cover
Same approach as last time: criteria, not the calendar. Then live case reviews.
What has to be true before the first run
The boxes to check before you put your patient on a treadmill, and why the date on the calendar isn’t one of them.
When the run won’t come
How to find what’s holding a mid-stage patient back: the joint, the tissue, or their control of the new range.
Live case reviews
Bring a patient who’s stuck in mid stage. We’ll work through real cases from the room.
How the hour works
Clinical education for licensed clinicians and coaches. Please share cases without patient names or identifying details.
