ACL Rehab Protocol

ACL rehab protocol is a structured plan to recover from a torn anterior cruciate ligament in the knee. It involves several phases: initially focusing on reducing swelling and restoring movement, then gradually strengthening muscles around the knee, and finally increasing activity levels for sports or daily tasks. The process emphasizes guided exercises, physical therapy, and patience to ensure proper healing and prevent re-injury. Progression is individualized, with clear milestones to determine readiness for more advanced activities, ultimately aiming for full knee stability, strength, and function before returning to sports or demanding activities.
