Why most sports physical therapy for ACL injuries is incomplete
Picture this: Four months ago, you underwent surgery to repair a torn ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) in your knee, and you’ve been diligently attending sports physical therapy ever since. Initially, you were on crutches, with a swollen knee that barely moved. But after several weeks of physical therapy, you regained full range of motion and relearned how to walk normally. You’ve even started running again and are eagerly anticipating the day you can return to practice or the activities that make you feel like an athlete!
