Meet Matt.

December 2023, playing basketball. Bumped in the air, landed, left ACL gone. He knew straight away, because he'd already had the right one reconstructed twice.

Basketball was his life and he was gutted. The first thing he asked me was whether he'd ever be able to exercise again.

No surgery this time. We rebuilt the knee purely on strength and rehab. He was running at two months and back on court at six.

Part two is what he did next.

A scan is only as useful as the person explaining it to you.

You should leave knowing what's on the images, what it means in plain English, and what you're doing next week to get strong again.

Bad, good or great. Which one did you get?

Exercises are just the ingredients.

The dose, the coaching, and knowing how to read your own body? That's the recipe. If all you got was a list of exercises, ask for the rest.

TheraBand rehab, translated into real rehab that'll make you stronger.

A band is fair enough early on. But you can't add a kilo to it, and it's hard to tell if you're any stronger than last month.

First one: banded external rotation to side-lying dumbbell ER. Now there's a number on it, so you can start light and add weight as it gets easy.

Tell me which band exercise you want done next.

Most of these lines get said in a five minute appointment and carried around for years.

The damage comes from what happens next. Tell someone their back is fragile and they start moving like it is. They guard, they stop lifting, they lose strength, and every flare-up feels like proof the prac was right.

For most gym injuries, modified training does far more than stopping. Squats, deadlifts and overhead work are usually part of the fix.

If you've been told one of these and it's still sitting in your head, it's worth getting a second opinion from someone who wants you back under the bar.

Part 2.

Same crack he does every day. This time it wouldn't go. He forced it anyway. Neck locked.

Showed up begging me to say he was fine. I didn't. Examined it first.

Meniscoid entrapment. Inflamed, angry, not something to rush.

He wanted it cracked on the spot. I waited instead. Calmed it, adjusted him the next day.

He wanted what he asked for. He needed what actually helped.

How many of these would you get right? If you've ever wondered what your practitioner actually thinks but doesn't always say, find out here.

Soreness isn't damage. Use the rule of three: stay at 3/10 pain or below.

You're not chasing more soreness to prove you're working. A 3 is as far as you go.

Feel it during the exercise, under a 3. Fine, keep going.
Next morning, under a 3. Good sign.
Two days later, still worse than before. That was too much. Do less, not nothing.

Nobody stays with a bad practitioner for long. It's the "good enough" ones you get stuck with.

He came in holding his head at an angle. Couldn’t look over his shoulder.

I asked what he’d done.

He said “nothing, I just cracked it like I always do.”

Then he paused and said “it didn’t go the first time, so I gave it a bit more.”

Follow along for part 2.

Four months of knee exercises. Zero people watching him do a single rep.

His pain got a bit better. But nothing else changed, because a handout isn't a plan.

He didn't fail his rehab. He just did it alone.

If your recovery's stalled, it's probably not you. It's that nobody's actually in the room with you.
