ACL Rehabilitation

Understanding ACL Injuries

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the major stabilisers of the knee. Injuries often happen during sports involving sudden stops, pivots, or landings. An ACL tear or rupture can cause knee instability, pain, swelling, and limited mobility. Without structured rehabilitation, recovery is incomplete and may increase the risk of future injury. 

Whether you’ve had surgery or not, working with an ACL specialist physio ensures your recovery is safe, effective, and long-lasting. Understanding your injury and starting the right ACL physio rehab plan early is key to a successful and confident return to your regular routine.

What to Expect During ACL Injury Recovery

Recovering from an ACL injury takes time, consistency, and professional guidance. Whether you've had surgery or are following a non-surgical approach, a structured rehabilitation plan is essential to restore knee function and prevent future injuries. Here’s what to expect during your ACL injury and rehabilitation journey:

  • Initial Phase (Weeks 1–3):
    Focus on reducing pain and swelling, regaining basic knee movement, and improving weight-bearing ability.

  • Strengthening Phase (Weeks 4–12):
    Targeted ACL physio rehab begins with strengthening quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes to support the knee joint.

  • Neuromuscular Control (Weeks 12–20):
    Balance, coordination, and ACL repair rehabilitation exercises are introduced to retrain joint control.

  • Advanced Training Phase (Weeks 20–30+):
    Includes agility drills, plyometrics, and ACL reconstruction rehabilitation exercises tailored to your sport or activity level.

  • Return-to-Activity (6–9 months):
    Final assessments determine readiness to resume full sport or work duties under the guidance of your ACL specialist physio.

FAQs

How long does ACL rehabilitation take?

ACL rehab usually takes 6–9 months, depending on the severity of the injury and whether surgery was involved. Regular physio and commitment to your ACL rehabilitation program are key to a full recovery.

Do I need physio after ACL surgery?

Yes. ACL physio is essential after surgery to regain strength, restore function, and prevent re-injury. Rehab starts with gentle exercises and progresses based on your recovery milestones.

Can ACL injuries heal without surgery?

In some cases, partial ACL tears can be managed non-surgically through a structured ACL injury recovery program. Your physio will assess and guide you based on your condition and goals.

What’s the difference between ACL repair and ACL reconstruction rehab?

ACL repair rehabilitation focuses on healing the native ligament (if repaired), while reconstruction rehab follows surgery using graft tissue. Both require structured, progressive physio to ensure full function returns.
