On this episode of The Let’s Get Physical (Therapy) Podcast, we talk with Sports Psychologist, Dr. Erica Force, about how athletes can develop mental toughness and resilience following an ACL injury or other serious setback in their sports career. Dr. Force discusses how an injury can impact one’s recovery and some red flags PTs can be aware of to help the whole athlete recover optimally. We discuss the roles of visualization, goal setting, and positive self-talk in the recovery process. Dr. Force gives helpful suggestions for PTs to ask our patients and athletes to get a glimpse into their mental well-being so we can optimize their recovery!
