In this episode, Mike and Dr. Jonathan Frank talk all about ski and snowboarding injuries, prehab, and what it’s like to serve as part of the US Ski and Snowboarding Staff. Dr. Frank is a huge fan of prehab, which he defines as “preparing for the activity or sport you want to get into to”. You must prepare for the rigors of the sport or activity that you want to play! Dr. Frank shared some unique inputs on his experience as part of the medical staff for the US Ski and Snowboarding Teams and what makes an accelerated ACL protocol different than a normal ACL rehab protocol. Snowsport fans, you guys will enjoy this one!

Hope you enjoy!
