ACL Rehabilitation
Understanding ACL Injuries
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the most important stabilising structures in the knee, particularly during movements like cutting, pivoting, or sudden changes of direction. ACL injuries are often caused by:
-
Rapid deceleration and twisting movements
-
Poor landing mechanics after jumping
-
Direct contact to the knee during sport
Because the ACL plays such a vital role, injuries are serious and require a structured, long-term rehabilitation plan.
The Importance of Physiotherapy After ACL Injury
Rehabilitation following an ACL tear - whether managed conservatively or after surgical reconstruction - is a lengthy, physically demanding, and often emotional process. Without proper guidance, recovery can stall, strength deficits can persist, and the risk of re-injury remains high.
At Pro Perform Physiotherapy in Woodvale, our role is to guide you through each stage of the journey, using evidence-based protocols and sport-specific progressions to restore confidence and performance.
Our ACL Rehab Process

-
Strength phase: Progressive strengthening of the quadriceps, hamstrings, hips, and core.
-
Running & functional drills: Reintroducing controlled impact and linear running.
