ACL Rehabilitation
ACL rehabilitation begins before you go in for surgery, as it is critical to organize certain things to ensure a smooth transition post discharge. First thing should be to organize to see your physiotherapist to start off your rehabilitation. If you have seen your physio for prehab then a detailed timeline would have already been created. Getting this timeline completed is crucial to set key time points for the next 12 months.
Non-Surgical Approach to a Torn ACL
The non-surgical or conservative approach involves an evidence-based program to restore normal muscle function and return to gym, field based sports and other sporting environments.
The rehabilitation process really is very similar to that of a surgical pathway, however time frames are expected to be faster. This is due there is no need to recover from surgery, or have to be mindful of the graft.
