Featured Review

I enjoyed this course and learned a lot! It was well explained. I love the way Luke O'Brien teaches. Everything makes sense because he explains why, e.g., scarring, what happens, etc. Thank you so much. I cannot wait to do the next part.

ACL Rehabilitation Acute Management After Surgery

I highly recommend Luke's ACL Rehabilitation Programme in full. It is not too intense, but it covers everything you would want it to. Some things are a gentle reminder; others are another perspective that makes you think critically about your choices.

It was a wonderful experience to learn from Luke O'Brien. He is an excellent clinician and a great educator of the subject. It was an incredible experience to go through this course—cheers to your efforts, and much love to Plus.
