What's happening inside your body
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) helps keep your knee stable. When it's injured, the knee can become painful, weak, and less stable during movement.
Ligament Injury
The ACL becomes stretched or torn.
Knee Instability
The knee feels loose during movement.
Pain & Swelling
Inflammation limits comfortable movement.
Reduced Function
Walking and sports become difficult.
Why ACL injuries affect movement
An injured ACL reduces knee stability, making movement and weight-bearing more challenging.

- ACL tear or sprain45%
- Knee instability25%
- Muscle weakness15%

FAQs
Answers to common questions about your recovery
Yes. Physiotherapy helps improve knee strength, stability, flexibility, balance, and functional movement before or after surgery. A structured program restores confidence in the knee and reduces the risk of re-injury.
No. Partial tears and many low-demand cases are managed well with structured rehabilitation alone. Surgery is usually considered for complete tears in people returning to pivoting sports or those with ongoing instability.
Most programs run 6–9 months after surgery, with early strength and mobility gains in the first 6–12 weeks. Non-surgical rehabilitation often takes 3–6 months depending on your goals and knee stability.
Return to sport usually happens between 9 and 12 months after surgery, once strength, hop, and movement-control tests are cleared. Rushing this stage is the biggest cause of re-injury.
Rehabilitation progresses from swelling control and range-of-motion work, to strengthening the quadriceps, hamstrings, and hips, then to balance, agility, and sport-specific movement training.
Yes. Virtual physiotherapy works well for guided exercise progression, load management, and regular movement tracking, helping you recover safely from home alongside periodic in-clinic assessments.
