ACL Surgery Recovery and Rehab
This is
Sabian's journey thru
ACL and Meniscus surgery. The video is just over 9 minutes long and takes you thru a 5 month process via commentary, pictures and videos of his progress.
Going thru ACL surgery and physical therapy is not easy. But it is also not an injury that is impossible to come back from. With the grace of
GOD and the hard work Sabian put in, he was cleared to play full contact football just over 5 months post surgery. We have seen videos of people on YouTube saying it's hard and how they struggled
... Of course it is hard and of course it is going to be a struggle. But if you want to come back from this type of injury you will have to push beyond your comfort zone and make a full blown effort! A lot of people seem to want others sympathy more than they want to fully recover. You are either going to be a sympathy case or one of the few that push to get back to the sport you love. We wish you all the best of luck as you go thru your process and hope this video helps you out...
