A criteria-based road back to sport — not a guess based on how many weeks have passed.

About the condition

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the main stabilisers of the knee. It is most often torn in football, basketball and skiing — usually in a twisting or landing movement rather than a collision.

What decides your final result is not only the surgery, it is the rehabilitation around it. That includes the weeks before the operation, which most people skip: going into surgery with a knee that already moves fully and a quadriceps that still works measurably improves the outcome.

How we treat it

  • Pre-operative preparation to restore full extension, reduce swelling and wake the quadriceps up before surgery
  • Early post-operative work on range of motion, swelling control and quadriceps activation, following your surgeon’s protocol
  • Progressive strengthening of the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes and calf
  • Balance, landing and change-of-direction training as your knee is ready for it
  • Objective criteria at each stage rather than moving on because a set number of weeks has passed
  • A staged return-to-sport program with re-injury prevention built in

What the sessions look like

ACL rehabilitation is a long road — realistically nine months or more before returning to pivoting sport, and we will not tell you otherwise.

You will always know which phase you are in, which targets you have already met and which one you are working toward.

We coordinate with your surgeon so the plan matches the graft used and their protocol.

Common questions

When can I go back to football?

When you meet strength, hop-test and control criteria — typically nine to twelve months after surgery. Returning on a calendar date rather than on criteria is one of the strongest predictors of a second ACL injury.

Do I need surgery for every ACL tear?

No. Some patients, particularly those not returning to pivoting sport, do well with structured rehabilitation alone. That decision is made with your orthopaedic surgeon; we support either path.
