🦵🏽 I tore my ACL. Thought I’d share my story from last year.

As a physio, I’ve treated countless ACL injuries — but experiencing one myself was a completely different story.

In that moment, I wasn’t the clinician. I was the patient — with the same fears, doubts, and “what now?” questions I’ve heard from so many others.

Instead, I committed to my own rehab plan — focused on strength, control, and confidence. It was slow, humbling, and far from perfect… but it worked.

This experience reminded me that rehab is never just about the body. It’s about patience, consistency, and trust — in the process, and in yourself.

Is this for everyone? Absolutely not. There are a number of factors to take into consideration. I discussed options with my consultant. For me it was going to be conservative management.

I’ll be posting my favourite exercises and experiences over the next few weeks. Stay Tuned 😀

✨ Same us. New logo. Because apparently, 2017 called and wanted our old one back. 👀

Promise it’s still Aaron — just with a slightly fancier outfit. ✨

❄️ Still reaching for ice when you get injured? You might want to think twice.

For years, R.I.C.E. (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) was the go-to for acute injuries. But recent research shows ice might actually slow healing, not help it. 🧠⚠️

🔍 Why?
Inflammation is your body’s natural healing response. Icing can reduce pain temporarily — but it also slows down blood flow and can delay tissue repair.

👉 What to do instead:
✅ Gentle, pain-free movement (as tolerated)
✅ Protect the area, don’t immobilize it
✅ Seek professional assessment
✅ Promote circulation, not block it

🧠 Movement is medicine — even early on.

📚 Bonus: The creator of the RICE protocol (Dr. Gabe Mirkin) has since said he no longer recommends it!
