Had my surgery last week and I feel like shit. I was doing so good in ⚽️ after multiple personal setbacks and things were looking good and it seemed like I would hit a lot of my goals including playing division 1 by next spring. and when I hurt my knee initial signs were that it wasn’t something serious and the season had just ended so I was completely calm but I did get an mri as soon as possible which was around a month after the injury and that’s when they told me I had torn my acl and partially torn my meniscus and I just broke down crying. With that news so many of my goals won’t be met and I was honestly thinking of just not pursuing ⚽️ anymore as in trying to go pro and just recovering and finishing school or just getting job. I felt like and sometimes I still feel like I’ve let my family and friends down bc I rlly had a plan of going pro and just helping them all out even tho it was a super difficult almost impossible to do. And now a week after surgery I just feel so down at times bc I was working so hard training twice a day for the past two years and I had improved so much and I would eat good sleep good do injury prevention consistently and it felt like I was doing everything right yet my knee just gave out on one play and this shit just sucks. Rn I’m just sitting down on the couch typing and I think I’m going to give it a shot and still try to become pro and I just trust god that he’ll get me through this and give me the strength to come back and one day fulfill my dreams

I would have loved to hear why you choose this one over the other under the desk treadmills.

Thank youu for this, very helpful 👌🏼

Really nervous getting my acl replaced in a week I just hope I can run again one day, you don’t know how bad you want to move around till you can’t

Health system is broken,,socialized medical will be a huge proponent of not this election but in 4 years. Its inevitable. Insurance will become only for the top 1% and the rest like norway and sweden. Mark my words.. medical is worst off than s.s. and working behind the scenes at one of the top hospitals, its getting ready to implode, real close.

My anorexia needed this

I want to start training with these sled exercises but i can't seem to find that sled anywhere, not even on their website. Where can i get a similar sled?

Who suggests alternating heat and ice anymore? I used to have great luck with this technic for getting me warmed up again after icing.

ATG has programs for jumping, running and muscle building. Have you tried those?

ACL injuries are not fun 😂

I cried watching this and I can’t imagine how my next year is going to be. Thanks for sharing and I hope I can get through this with the same strength and resilience as you did! Much love ❤️

Thanks Victoria! Your presentation was on point for getting people to know what this racket is all about. I like how you gave us options!! I've never had to buy "health" insurance after becoming an adult. But later on after finding out how corrupt the US medical system is I ended up dropping the idea thinking there was nothing good. After getting married, I've seen the things that could happen to your spouse and how ridiculously high these med bills can be.

The Powell raise saved my weak shoulders forever. Personally I prefer doing them with a controlled 1-2 second contraction, and 3 to 5 seconds during the negative portion to strengthen my rear and mid delt tendons. You can also try the Powell raises standing with a cable or a band. In my own experience, slow negatives with full range of motion are key to hit those tendons and gain strength and flexibility.

I have the exact opposite experience. Whenever i screw up my body with heavy lifting, i use atg movements as a source of PT programming and i always see results almost immediately.

Good stuff. Having been a journalism major and now working in the healthcare field. I also don’t see things as black and white. Almost everything is gray. Looking forward to seeing what you do in the future.

Thank you sooo much for taking the time to make and post this!

Commenting and liking just to support the fight against misinformation 🥲

Hello and thanks for your video. It’s 4am in the morning for me I’m literally a week away from my ACL surgery and I’m very anxious. I had a rough day with pain in my leg hence woken at 4am reaching for painkillers . I’m also anxious and nervous about the recovery process. I’ve been off work already trying to prepare for operation and strength training. I’m not an athlete like you however trying to work on my physical fitness prior I’m proud of what I’ve done so far. I’ve literally moved intestate to be back with family a week ago due to knowing I need my support and family (I’m 56 and a widow) so I’ve moved in with my daughter instead of living in my own I understand this process is going to be long and emotional and I’m so grateful that I’ve come across your video which I’ll keep to focus on when I’m in my low day’s moving forward. I’m also going to ensure to focus on eating well and protein as I know we have to keep our muscles strong. Thank you for the encouragement and your personal support to us all. I’ll try to fall off to sleep now hoping to rest well and have positive energy for tomorrow and next Tuesday day of surgery. Thank you Tania

that must have been so hard for you to forgive given it was caused by someone else. how did you manage that emotionally?

Finally, someone is talking about posterior strength training! It is vital to avoid knee injuries, especially after ACL surgery. Thanks Victoria, love your content as always 🥰

Great advice, as always. Mentioning the different types of fatigue was awesome. We tend to think of only local muscle fatigue. We forget about local connective tissue fatigue, bone fatigue, systemic central nervous system fatigue, psychological fatigue, hormonal fatigue, etc. Very informational, as always.

great

Thanks for sharing great tips!🙌

Thank you so much for sharing! I absolutely need to implement some of these ideas ti build up my ligament resilience. I'm a huge fan of the ATG program as well!😀

Good advice, thanks!

What is your height and weight ???

I’m 3 weeks post-ACL and meniscus surgery and so far the progress has been pretty good and according to the Ortho’s protocol. Physio 3x a week and I make sure I do the exercises in between physio sessions as well (and rest when I need to! 😅) Manage to get full extension by end of week 2 and now at 50 degrees flexion in week 3. I totally get you when it comes to persevering especially on days when everything feels so stiff and you feel like you’ve taken 2 steps back. Thank you so much! Your ACL videos have been Godsend!

Hello, I am curious did you experience any “Charley horse” or muscle spasms in the thigh area? If so, what did you do for the pain? I had ACL surgery 3 weeks ago, and these muscle spasms just started 3 days ago and they’re worse than the surgery all together.

Extremely helpful! I found you through your dental coverage video…that was a game changer…took notes throughout…this video was so easy to follow, with a wealth of knowledge…I am subscribed…ty and much success!💫

Cannot thank you enough for!🙏🏽

Since 18 months I have tendonitis in my knee from too much running. Just bought the zero book. What program would you suggest for my purpose?

What barbell and weight plates are you using?

Is this #add bc those have a high amount of calories and sugar, and personally me and people I know have avoided them for that reason

Im 4 week in acl n meniscus surgery...and i attained 90° flexion 2 weeks back and after that i started walking and now i cant even bend my knee to 45°

Thank you for this, the subject is not well covered at all, so the information here is very well researched and useful.

I notice my food sensitivity test said I can eat egg yolk but not egg white lol. The test also came with a digestive test and I was low on a few enzymes and probiotics

This is interesting, though I'm not a fan of leaning away from something because "it leads to unhealthy behaviors". Human reaction to data shouldn't be a consideration for the data. I think they might be a decent indicator to get leads of foods to at least experiment with to see if there actually is an inflamation. I'm not sure if these tests should be -banned-, but maybe should not be labeled as a "allergy test" and should be required to disclose the details of what they actually do.

Great info, learned a lot! Thank you for postIng.

Incredibly helpful, thank you 🙏

❤❤

Just saw the end of your video I have my incrediwear sleeve on now leaving the gym lol

Just was diagnosed with a high grade acl tear and a torn miniscus. I’m a very active almost 37 year old I coach my son and he relies on me so yeah this is a terrible feeling. Looking forward to rehabbing

I also use coffee enemas, tea enemas, and water enemas for detoxing and parasite cleansing.

Its been 200 ish days since i tore my acl, surgery in just over a month wish me luck im super scared

Hey it’s been 9 months since my Acl surgery. Almost everything is back to normal but the only thing that’s really bothering me is when i bear my full weight on the fully extended knee it hurts. Do you have any idea what this could be?

K dot 🎉

I need this for the volleyball program. Just wanna see what ezcercises are in it

It’s only meant to make your knees stronger not a whole body routine. Maintenance

I'm so confused now. My functional provider had me take the food sensitivity test. It showed high levels of IgG response to all dairy except camel milk and eggs, along with things like watermelon and honey. She had me eliminate these foods based on the results and begin probiotics, prebiotics, and a GI detox to take care of H. Pylori, strep, staph, and to balance my gut bacteria. She said that the goal is to get my stomach to heal and produce digestive enzymes again so i can add those foods back. If IgG is a memory response that indicates a better tolerance, why didn't I get high levels for things like chicken or beef, and other foods that are staples of my diet like rice?

Hi, I feel the same I torn my acl 18 months ago and I feel like I'm stock now I have more swelling than last year, and I don't understand why. I want to go see my surgery doc again to see maybe take MRI to see if anything is wrong on inside. I'm very frustrated now I can't play soccer as much as I wanted to, and I can't get my knee straight when walking a lot of days now. I feel I was better 12 months after surgery than now.
