ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) Rehabilitation

ACL rehabilitation is a structured process to recover from an anterior cruciate ligament injury, typically involving surgery followed by physical therapy. The goal is to restore knee stability, strength, and function. Initially, treatment focuses on reducing swelling and gentle movements. As healing progresses, exercises emphasize improving range of motion, strengthening leg muscles, and regaining balance and coordination. Gradually, activities become more dynamic, preparing the knee for daily activities or sports. The entire rehab process can span several months, emphasizing patience and consistency to ensure a safe return to full activity while minimizing the risk of re-injury.
