Common Questions About ACL Physio
“Do I definitely need surgery for an ACL?”
Not everyone does. The right path depends on your knee, your goals and how it is coping. An assessment, together with your surgeon’s input, helps guide that decision.
“Once the surgery’s done, the hard part is over.”
Surgery is one step. The rehab that follows is what builds the strength and control your knee needs for the activities you want to return to.
“I’ll be ready to play as soon as I can run again.”
Running is a milestone, not the finish line. Return-to-sport testing looks at strength, control and movement before higher-risk activity.
“I can just follow a generic ACL program online.”
Generic programs don’t account for your specific knee, your stage of rehab and your goals. We tailor the plan and re-test as you progress.

“From years of treating ACL injuries my philosophy is grounded in evidence-based rehabilitation that focuses on restoring knee stability, strength, and neuromuscular control to support safe, functional movement. I recognize the significant mental and emotional challenges that come with ACL recovery, so I prioritize providing encouragement and psychological support throughout the process. By implementing a structured, progressive return-to-play program, I help patients regain confidence and optimize performance while minimizing the risk of re-injury.”
