Hip Thrusting My Way To A Healthy Knee | Recovery Time w/ Zac Efron

Physical therapy is getting tougher as I make my way back to 100%! Doc has me doing stretches with a blood flow restriction machine, “wall kisses,” and one of the weirdest things I’ve ever had to film on camera, you’ll see. Watch to the end to find out whether I got my tendon graft from a cadaver, a friend or from another part of my own body!

Jay Gill because he’s filthy rich. Lol.

[@adz5856]

mate, hes a multi millionaire with access to all the best doctors and rehab staff possible. no shit

[@brittdepauw5640]

This has not necessary to do something with the doctors, but with your own determination and your mindset. I've torn my ACL 3 times already, and the big difference is your headspace. If you're not motivated, and your pain tolerance is really low, your recovery will be difficult.

[@jayg1316]

@@adz5856 i don't know if that's it

[@therealjakub]

@@jayg1316 people literally do react to the acl tear differently, my leg was swollen as mf, on the other my father's was pretty much normal, same with the pain, I could not walk because of pain and my father was just feeling that his knee was unstable and nothing else.

I’ve had two acl reconstruction (one on each leg) and I’m still recovering from my 2nd surgery (12 weeks out) and I love watching this series. I also used both of my patella tendons to replace my acl. I really appreciate this series cause it just doesn’t make me feel alone and I can compare my progression to yours.

I am so happy you are finally getting better, you inspire me so much to keep going. I was bullied in 4 grade and it made me feel sad, than when I watched the greatest showman and heard about you I became such a fan, I am praying you will get better, ❤

[@ameliedl7898]

Thank you so much for this video !! I’ve been thought some stuff with me knee too (got surgery around mid October) and recovery has been tough. I didn’t always have the most motivation because I hugged myself so much in the past that I have a really hard time trusting my knee again (still until this day). It’s been six month and I know that it’s not over yet but seeing the way you go though this it makes me happier and makes me want to do better, get better and work harder. Thank you, really ! Big hugs from France ❤️

[@charmainestephens]

Powering through this like a champ. I can relate physical therapy is no joke. Just finished up months of it from a bad car crash I was in. Wishing you a continued speedy recovery! ❤️

[@user-qz7ro5ho3i]

Please talk more about your recovery I think it’s really inspiring seeing someone so positive. I have a friend recovering from the same injury going through pt right now. It’s been difficult

soooo important! I hadn’t ran in such a long time that when the time came my knees failed and shook and i just fell face first and slide on concrete. Dr said that It was because I didn’t excerise at least the knees. Tried the band exercises and the change is real. this dude gets a lot of views so it’s just really important especially for young people to focus on keeping it Healthy! Nice vid 👏🏾
