ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT (ACL) TEAR
An ACL tear causes knee pain, swelling, and instability, often after twisting or pivoting injuries. Physiotherapy is essential for recovery, whether managed conservatively or after surgery. It focuses on reducing pain and swelling, restoring knee range of motion, strengthening the quadriceps, hamstrings, and hip muscles, improving balance and proprioception, and retraining functional movement. Progressive rehabilitation enables safe return to daily activities, work, and sport while reducing the risk of re-injury.
