An ACL tear is a common knee injury, often happening during sports that involve twisting, pivoting, or landing. It can cause sudden pain, swelling, and a feeling that the knee is unstable or gives way. Not everyone needs surgery. The right path depends on your knee, your goals, and how it responds to rehab.
Physiotherapy is essential either way, building the strength, control, and confidence to return to activity. In this guide we cover conservative and post-surgical rehabilitation for anterior cruciate ligament injury, evidence-based, staged guidance for clinicians and clear explanations so patients understand their options and what recovery involves.
