Recently while leaving a PT appointment, I found one of their general business cards for their office, the San Francisco Sport and Spine Physical Therapy.
It struck me because it was very clever and filled with great tips, but it also struck me because I just complied my “10 Golden Rules of ACL Rehab Therapy.” Very timely. I was also surprised that three of their tips overlapped mine. Great people must rehab alike 
This is what the front of the card looks like:
The back of the card reads:
“Tips for Saving Your Knees”
Don’t lock them.
Wear good shoes.
Run on grass or asphalt. Avoid concrete.
Sqaut like you are sitting: stick your butt out.
Stretch your legs, not your back.
Ramp up running or lifting in steps, not leaps.
Support your arches.
If it hurts, don’t do it. Ask for help.
If it hurts anyway, call us.
Got the bad news yesterday. Surgery with a hamstring graft will be April 13. Tore it playing ultimate frisbee. Second surgery to this leg (right). Had some femural cartlidge damage fixed 7 years ago. So have some idea what I’m in store for. Really not looking forward to any of this. But I guess I just need to take it one day at a time. Last time the PT was in the winter though, and although I ski (live in Salt Lake), I’d rather have the summer to play. Good news is the rest of the knee looks great. No other damage.
