ACL rehab in Perth
Structured rehabilitation for ACL injuries, whether you are heading towards surgery or managing without it, with a clear pathway back to sport.
About ACL injuries
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the main ligaments that stabilise the knee. It is most often injured in sports that involve sudden changes of direction, landing or pivoting, such as football, netball and basketball.
Common signs include feeling or hearing a pop at the time of injury, swelling within a few hours and the knee feeling unstable or giving way.
How we help
Rehabilitation is staged and progressed by testing, not just by time.
- Early management to settle swelling and restore knee movement
- Pre-surgery strengthening (prehab) if you are having a reconstruction
- Post-surgery rehabilitation, working alongside your surgeon’s protocol
- Non-surgical management where it is appropriate for you
- Strength, hop and movement testing before you return to sport
Seeing a doctor
If you have just injured your knee and cannot put weight on it, or it is locked and will not straighten, see your GP or an emergency department first. We are happy to work with your GP and surgeon.
