123. Do You Need ACL Surgery To Ski? (feat. Brian of Level Up Sports Academy)

On this episode I sit down with Brian an Austrian Level 3 ski instructor and former ski racer who shares his experience navigating a complex knee injury including a full MCL tear with partial ACL and PCL damage and what the early stages of conservative recovery really look like.


We talk about:✅ How the injury happened during free skiing and the immediate on slope response✅ What MRI results revealed and how different countries offered very different medical advice✅ Why Brian chose the conservative non surgical route and how doctors determine if someone can function without surgery✅ The challenges of six weeks non weight bearing including bracing limited movement and emotional ups and downs✅ Early recovery strategies like isometric contractions protecting ligament healing and managing swelling✅ Tools that can support recovery including blood flow restriction training EMG stimulation and ways to maintain strength safely


If you are navigating a knee injury or supporting someone who is this episode offers a clear look at what early recovery can involve and how to balance patience with smart strategies that protect long term return to sport.
