An ACL injury affects a key ligament that helps control knee stability. Injury often occurs during cutting, landing, twisting or sudden direction changes, but severity and associated damage vary.
How physiotherapy may help
Physiotherapy may address swelling, knee movement, quadriceps strength, balance, walking and gradual return to activity. Surgery decisions belong with an orthopaedic specialist; rehabilitation is important both for selected non-operative plans and after reconstruction.
Common rehabilitation goals
- Reduce swelling and restore comfortable knee extension
- Rebuild thigh, hip and calf strength
- Improve balance, landing control and confidence
- Progress running and sport tasks only when appropriate
What happens at a home appointment?
The physiotherapist reviews relevant history, reports and precautions, then assesses movement and function as appropriate. The plan may include education, guided exercise, mobility practice and suitable hands-on care. Progress is reviewed rather than assumed.
