Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Injury Rehabilitation

ACL injury rehabilitation involves a structured process to restore knee function and strength after a tear or sprain. Initially, rest and ice help reduce swelling, followed by gentle exercises to regain range of motion. As healing progresses, a tailored physical therapy program focuses on strengthening the leg muscles, especially the quadriceps and hamstrings, to support the knee. Balance and stability exercises are integrated to improve coordination. Returning to sports or intense activity occurs only when the knee is strong, stable, and pain-free. The goal is to restore normal function while preventing future injuries through careful, phased recovery.
