I first tore my ACL back in the 1990s and went to one of the country's best knee clinics in Los Angeles for surgery and physical therapy.

For weeks I thought nothing was happening. No pain, no cardio. But thru the summer, i got stronger and stronger with improved range of motion. Although I resisted learning the WHY behind each exercise, David Bentham prevailed, and I now know how to take care of myself.
