ACL Reconstruction Rehabilitation
ACL reconstruction is a surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament, a key stabilizer in your knee. This type of injury can happen during sports, accidents, or everyday movements. After surgery, physical therapy is essential to restore knee strength, movement, and confidence in walking or returning to daily life.
ACL Reconstruction Rehabilitation
Causes and Risk Factors:
- Sudden stops, twists, or pivots during walking, sports, or slipping
- Falls or direct hits to the knee
- Landing awkwardly from a step or jump
- Weak leg muscles or poor balance

Skipping rehab after ACL surgery can lead to long-term knee pain, stiffness, weakness, poor balance, and higher risk of re-injury or arthritis later on.
