Coming Back After ACL Reconstruction Surgery (POM 10/13)

Always with a smile and an easygoing personality, Max has worked extremely hard during post-surgical rehab for a torn ACL /Meniscus. He is a talented boxer and Jiu Jitsu fighter whose passion for martial arts overflows. His eagerness to get back to sports is evident, but he has diligently followed Dr. Mayes' advice. He will no doubt return even better than before!

In His Own Words...

Three words to describe me: Adrenaline, Motivated, Anxious

What brought you to IronPT? My boxing coach, Robert Guzman, recommended that I go to Iron after he had a successful post-surgical recovery.  I knew he had a high intensity lifestyle and needed to be back in shape ASAP. I could relate to that and wanted to quickly return to my activities after ACL reconstruction surgery.

How have you benefitted from PT? I have benefited both physically and mentally from going to therapy. PT is the quickest and most effective way for me to start participating in mixed martial arts again.  I gained all my weight and strength back, and I have a good feeling that I will be stronger than I was before my injury.

What are you most excited about getting back to? Although I practice more than one martial art, I am most excited about getting back to my roots in Brazilian JiuJitsu.  In addition, I am looking forward to getting back into training with world class fighters again.
