Coach Hos Podcast

My 16 y.o. son is 4 months post Surgery from an ACL and meniscus repair. His PT said it was time to ask his ortho for a sports brace fitted for activity. He went to his ortho doc who said he didn’t need a brace. He said they don’t typically fit braces for ACL repairs but only do it if it makes the patient feel better. My son is a soccer goalie, so playing without a brace sounds great. Obviously we’re not there yet. My son has been cleared to run, bike, juggle, and light passing. So, is the work now just strengthening the leg? At what point did you stop PT and then did you enlist a trainer to get your kiddo game fit?
