    I recently just had acl reconstruction and got very discouraged being on crutches and not being able to work out / train this summer for my upcoming season but this gave me the hope and optimism I needed to keep trying & get my knee where it was. thank you so much Zac and pls post more recovery videos or any tips to stay positive. ❤️

    I tore my ACL last year in July and retore it this year in the end of February. It was my left knee and We used the patellar the second time. Watching these and seeing that even he has some struggles and pain it shows me that it isn’t weird to hurt . It was hard the first time and it’s been harder the second ..but I’m hoping to come back for my senior season. praying for Zac 💕 want to see the mental aspect of it to him.. it was rough for me , but it gets easier if anyone else is dealing with this type of injury just know that it gets better and the more you progress the better you feel, it’s slow but once it’s over you become stronger and you don’t take small things like walking jogging and running for granted also you’re not alone. The hardest part is trusting your leg again, after reteaching it how to walk/jog/run correctly it’s difficult to trust and it doesn’t happen over night .. just stay dedicated and know that you will heal eventually 💕💕

    As a holistic practitioner, I have found that reiki is a very powerful tool to heal the body. I have moved so many blockages of energy (that caused serious injuries) with the technique. We are our own best healers. It's amazing that we are able to use our own energy in healing ourselves. Kudos to you for using holistic techniques.

    Had some guasha and cupping, and deep tissue massage done to a shoulder injury that been keeping me from exercising for over a year. In about 2 months of treatment once a week my shoulder is way better. The guasha first time hurt like hell but the results were impressive. After that it still hurts when being done but no where near the first time.
    Anyway glad you are healing up well.
