The ACL Athlete Podcast

Amazing podcast. Super informative and incredibly encouraging with practical applications and tangible tools. I had ACL surgery in March 2024 and this podcast was so encouraging and motivating. Unfortunately in my recovery, around month 5, I noticed loss of extension, loss of quad strength, clunking sounds and had reoccurrence of pain. I came across the episode on cyclops lesions and realized very quickly this might be my issue. I spoke with my amazing PT and he had already been thinking the same thing. I saw my doctor and had MRI and now I am one week post second surgery - I had a huge cyclops lesion removed (almost as large as a golf ball!) I already feel so much better and I’m so thankful this podcast gave words to my experience and situation. As I listened to this weeks episode, again it was spot on as I’m back to working on extension and getting that heel pop back! Seriously this podcast has been such a blessing in this long, hard recovery. Every week I feel like I’m not alone and I’m filled with hope to keep going. This podcast is a MUST for any ACLer or clinician!

This podcast has been so beyond helpful with my ACL journey! The format makes it so easy to information on really specific topics- I’ve tried googling a lot of my questions but never find the answers I’m looking for. Have implemented and shared a lot of what I have learned and I over all feel much more educated on the process. I definitely recommend listening to this while doing rehab exercises!

I found this podcast too late!! I had ACL reconstruction + meniscus repair 9 months ago— I had so many issues that just a few weeks ago I pushed my surgeon to do some tests and turns out my meniscus was still fully torn. I had a meniscectomy a couple weeks ago (they took out 40%) and I’m feeling so much better. I am an extremely active (HIIT classes 6x/week, 20-30k steps a day) 38 year old female and I wish I had found this podcast months ago! I think I would have known much earlier that something was off with my recovery and rehab. I am plowing through episodes that are applicable to me and love all of the practical tips that are given. I am looking forward to (hopefully) a full recovery back to all the active things I love and I know this will be helpful along the way!

We’ve never met, but Ravi is absolutely a part of my ACL recovery team. Being able to learn from someone so knowledgeable and passionate specifically about ACL recovery is so important. He answers the questions I didn’t know I had and makes me feel empowered to take charge of my own recovery.
