ACL – Anterior Cruciate Ligament

ACL Recovery at Sridevi Physiotherapist

The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is a vital ligament that stabilizes the knee joint, playing a crucial role in activities that involve jumping, pivoting, and rapid changes in direction. ACL injuries, commonly seen in athletes and active individuals, can significantly impact mobility and quality of life. At Sridevi Physiotherapist, I specialize in the recovery and rehabilitation of ACL injuries to help you regain strength, stability, and confidence in your movements. With over 20 years of experience, I am dedicated to providing personalized care tailored to your specific recovery needs.

Sports Injuries

Understanding ACL Injuries

ACL injuries can occur due to:

Sports Activities

High-impact sports such as soccer, basketball, and skiing often involve sudden stops or changes in direction that can lead to ACL tears.

Falls or Accidents

Sudden twists or impacts to the knee during a fall or collision can result in an ACL injury.

Overuse

Repetitive stress on the knee joint can weaken the ACL over time, increasing the risk of injury.

Signs and Symptoms of ACL Injury

Sudden pain in the knee, often accompanied by a "popping" sensation

Swelling around the knee within a few hours of the injury

Instability or a feeling that the knee may "give way"

Reduced range of motion and difficulty bearing weight on the affected leg

My Approach to ACL Recovery

At Sridevi Physiotherapist, I follow a comprehensive approach to ACL recovery, which includes:

Initial Assessment

A thorough evaluation is conducted to understand the extent of the injury and develop a tailored rehabilitation plan.

Pain Management

I use modalities such as ice therapy, ultrasound, and electrical stimulation to reduce pain and swelling during the initial recovery phase.

Rehabilitation Exercises

o Phase 1 (Post-Injury): Focus on gentle range-of-motion exercises and isometric strengthening to promote healing without stressing the knee.
o Phase 2 (Strengthening): Gradual introduction of strengthening exercises targeting the quadriceps, hamstrings, and surrounding muscles to restore stability.
o Phase 3 (Functional Training): Incorporation of sport-specific movements and agility drills to prepare for a return to sports and daily activities.

Education and Guidance

I provide education on knee biomechanics, proper techniques for physical activities, and strategies to prevent future injuries.
