Did not see any related topic to this or I did not look deep enough. But I suffered an ACL tear about a year ago (January 2013) due to a experiment with a tree while snowboarding (I lost). Since then i recovered, did the open last year and have become a extremely better athelete than the year before in all realms. I do not have knee pain during or before workouts but usually when I sit for a while, flossing always helps among other things but I’m wondering am i digging a hole for my future self? I do my best to practice movements as efficiently as possible especially jumping and landing. should I bite the bullet and get surgery done as soon as a spot opens up or do i have a couple more years to ride it out safely and continue training the way I do.
