About 1 year of Alexa Bernstein Paulenoff’s ACL rehab in less than 30 seconds.
🔑This video is a great example how much hard work and consistency goes into any successful post-op rehab and/or comeback from a serious injury.
🤕Doing all the things necessary early on in PT to restore range of motion and improve neuromuscular coordination.
📈Patiently sticking to and progressing the simple (and sometimes) boring progressions of lower body strength, plyometrics, and return-to-sport training qualities.
💻And yes, it can be done virtually.
💪🏼Consistently putting in the work with her trainer Rich (who isn’t on IG anymore 😅) to focus on general strength training and to also crush upper body work.
🫀Showing up week after week to work on overall cardiovascular fitness and active recovery work between hard training sessions… which is what most people would skip all-together.
🙌🏼Shoutout Alexa Bernstein Paulenoff for being a great reminder of why being a good student is just as (if not more) important than being a good coach.
🧠Also shoutout to all of our mentors and teachers who have shown and taught us how to really train and guide our clients from PT all the way to high level performance.
