057: All Things ACL & ACL Rehab With Jake Pallpratt

Jake Pallpratt is the name of the man who worked behind the scenes with me to help pull off what most said was impossible; returning to high level sport with no ACL, as little as 12 weeks following the rupture. Having gone through 2 knee reconstructions himself, Jake has established himself in the local town of Bendigo as one of the leading PHYSIOTHERAPISTS and has a particular area of interest in ACL Rehab.  Having completed a Bachelor of Health Science and Masters of Physiotherapy at La Trobe University Bendigo, Jake now works with clients on a daily basis with a huge focus on sports injury management as well as chronic disease management and is committed in continually develop these skills.  When it comes to sports injuries, there is no greater injury to return from then an ACL rupture. This episode brings you everything you need to know about ACL injuries from a physios point of view, A PT's point of view and also the point of view from 2 people having gone through 5 ACL ruptures. It will create a discussion around the ACL injury itself, research, rehab, performance, return to sport protocols, mindset and everything in between. The current question that is left burning on my mind even after successfully returning and stringing together consecutive games without any issues... does everyone need an ACL to operate in high impact sport?

Kyle is a motivational speaker, bestselling author, entrepreneur, and known for becoming the first quadruple amputee to reach the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Aconcagua without the aid of prosthetics.
