An ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) injury is a common and often debilitating knee injury, frequently affecting athletes and active individuals. Whether you’ve torn or sprained your ACL, recovery can be challenging, but with the right care and rehabilitation you can return to your active lifestyle with strength and confidence.
At Mid West Physiotherapy, we specialise in providing expert care, tailored treatment plans, and ongoing support to help you recover from an ACL injury. Our experienced physiotherapists use evidence-based techniques, including targeted exercises, manual therapy, and functional training, to restore strength, mobility and stability, helping you to achieve your performance goals and hopefully maintain a successful long-term recovery.
In many cases, yes, you can walk, but it may be painful or difficult to put full weight on the injured leg. Most people can manage walking with the help of physiotherapy or bracing.
If you experience a “pop” sound at the time of injury, extreme swelling, difficulty walking, or a feeling of instability in the knee, it’s essential to see a doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in ACL recovery by improving knee strength, flexibility, and stability. Therapists use exercises, manual therapy, and functional training to ensure the knee regains proper movement and function.
