Happy International Athletic Training and Therapy Day!

We get to do cool things like watching sports and high level athletes perform, managing injuries, cleaning wounds, consoling injured athletes, and replaying the EAPs on our drive to practices and games.

We also negotiate our worth and value to organizations, have parents or coaches disagree with our medical decisions, fight with athletes who might be hiding injuries, share with coaches that you just found out about an injury, and more.

It’s the greatest job in the world and still has a ways to go in recognition.

So today, thank your team’s athletic therapist and bring them a coffee, they probably need it!

Step-ups and step-downs are foundational exercises in early ACL rehab.

Before running, jumping, or returning to sport, the knee needs to relearn how to accept load, control movement, and build quad strength safely.

These variations help restore:
• Quadriceps strength
• Knee and hip control
• Frontal and sagittal plane stability
• Confidence with single-leg loading

In early ACL rehabilitation, these movements allow progressive loading without excessive joint stress. Mastering step-ups, lateral step-ups, and controlled step-downs prepares the knee for higher-level tasks like hopping, sprinting, and change of direction.

Rushing past this phase—or skipping it entirely—often leads to poor movement patterns, lingering weakness, or setbacks later in rehab.

Whether you’re post-operative or managing ACL rehab non-surgically, these exercises should be progressed and coached with intention.

Strong fundamentals lead to a stronger rehab.

The exercises:
- Step Down
- Forward Step Up
- Lateral Step Up

2025 was filled with many firsts and new PR’s, a lot of hockey and discovering new ways to improve my kettlebell training.

Setting new goals for 2026 and hoping to share it along the way!

Wishing everyone success in 2026.

Stay safe, train hard, and take care of your injuries!

The 2025 is complete!

I set a goal this year to run my first 10K and beat my previous 5K time.

I can proudly say I achieved both!

The Sergeant Major’s Challenge is a 5+10K and is typically ran in succession at the in-person event. Completing it virtually means I can run them separately.

I had no time goal for the 10K, I just wanted to complete it. The day of the run had perfect conditions and the only unknown was how I felt. Overall, i’m very happy with how I approached the run. I completed it in 1:15:33.

For the 5K, I had one objective, run it faster than last year. My fuelling approach could have been better, however, I hit a lot of new PRs during this run. This may be the fastest i’ve ever ran 5K and i’m hoping to do even better next year. I completed it in 32:30, a new PR!

The theme of my training stayed the same: be consistent, add some weight training, and do your best. Be kind and empathetic to yourself when training doesn’t go as planned. It’ll make it a lot easier!

ACL REHAB: EARLY PHASE

Here are three early muscle activation/strengthening exercises to compliment all the range of motion drills.

Knee bending and straightening are the limiting factors post op. Adding these movements helps maintain and develop strength in the quads, glutes, and hamstrings.

The exercises:
Straight Leg Raise (SLR)
Side lying Hip Abduction/Raise
Isometric Hamstring Curl

ACL REHAB: EARLY PHASE

The first 2 weeks of ACL rehab are the most important and set the stage for the remainder of the recovery process.

There are three areas you should prioritize: knee extension (straightening), knee flexion (bending), and quad activation. Managing swelling and using e-stim are not shown but are done regularly.

These exercises set the foundation as we progress to more functional movements.

The exercises:
Active assisted knee flexion
Heel prop knee extension
Assisted knee extension
Assisted calf stretch
Ankle pumps
Quad sets/activation

And the virtual is complete!

I didn’t reach my target goal, but this is a good opportunity to dial in my training and pre-race hydration for the next one.

Now I’ll prepare for a 5+10k in September for the !
