The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the key stabilizing ligaments of the knee. After an ACL injury or surgery, proper physiotherapy is essential for recovery. Without rehabilitation, patients may face stiffness, weakness, instability, or a higher risk of re-injury. Post ACL physiotherapy focuses on restoring knee strength, mobility, balance, and stability, so patients can safely return to sports, daily activities, and an active lifestyle.
Physiotherapy helps reduce pain, swelling, and stiffness while restoring knee strength and stability. It is critical for regaining full function and preventing complications.
Rehabilitation typically lasts 6–9 months depending on the patient’s progress, goals, and activity level. Returning to sports may take longer to ensure complete recovery.
Yes, with proper rehabilitation and strengthening, most patients can safely return to sports and physical activities, but only after clearance from their physiotherapist or surgeon.
