Experiencing a torn ACL? Hereâs what you need to know:
âĄď¸ What is an ACL tear?â¨A tear happens when the ligament is overstretched or torn, often during sudden twists, quick stops, awkward landings, or direct impact.
âĄď¸ Common symptoms:
- A âpopâ at the time of injury
- Knee pain and swelling
- Instability or the knee âgiving outâ
- Trouble fully moving or putting weight on the leg
âĄď¸ How physio can help (with or without surgery):â¨Physiotherapy focuses on reducing pain and swelling, restoring movement, and strengthening the muscles around your knee. Physio can also help to retrain balance, stability, and proper movement patterns so you can safely return to your daily activities â and even sports.
