🚨 Have you torn or injured your ACL?
💡 ACL Surgery Physiotherapy
If you tear your ACL, one of the main problems you may experience is weakness and instability of your knee.
This may feel as if your knee is about to ‘give way ‘.
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery involves the reconstruction or repair of the ACL ligament.
ACL surgery will help make your knee feel stable again and limit its loss of function as well as prevent further damage such as another injury or arthritis.
Additionally, ACL surgery offers a near normal knee that allows the return to normal daily tasks, work and any kind of hobbies, exercise or sporting activities.
💡 Pre ACL-Surgery Physiotherapy
Physio Hub Wiley Park recommends that you have preoperative physiotherapy.
The aim of physiotherapy treatments before your surgery is to:
✅ Regain range of motion in the knee joint
✅ Reduce swelling
✅ Reduce pain
✅ Achieve full weight bearing
✅ This is made possible by stretching and strengthening the muscles around the knee.
✅ Additionally, strengthening the muscles in other joints including your hip and your ankle joint is also necessary to account for the loss of function in your knee.
💡 Post ACL Surgery Physiotherapy
A Physiotherapy rehabilitation program after surgery is vital in regaining full function of your knee.
The main aim of treatment in the early stages after ACL surgery is to reduce pain, swelling, restore full range of motion and your ability to weight bear.
In later stages of physiotherapy treatment, your rehabilitation program will work to restore pre injury function working to returning you to your pre injury condition using exercises specific to your job, hobbies and sporting activities.
