In this episode, we answer a super common question we get from athletes - should I push through pain? We talk through a pro athlete example, why pain can be helpful, principles around navigating pain, the sweet spot, the steak analogy, and feedback loops. If you found value in today's episode, please leave a quick review so we can continue to reach more ACLers, healthcare professionals, supporting roles, and more. The goal is to redefine ACL rehab and elevate the standard of care.
