ACL Tear

Heard a pop in your knee followed by swelling, instability, or pain? You may have suffered an ACL tear, one of the most common and serious knee injuries—especially among athletes and active individuals. At Theracave, we provide expert physical therapy for ACL tears, helping clients recover safely, rebuild strength, and return to the activities they love.

The ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) is a key stabilizer in the knee joint. When it’s torn—whether partially or completely—movement becomes unstable and painful. Whether you’re recovering from an ACL injury without surgery or working through post-operative rehab, personalized therapy is essential for full recovery.

Q&A

An ACL tear is an injury to the anterior cruciate ligament in the knee, often caused by sudden twisting or impact. It can be a partial tear or a full rupture, resulting in pain, swelling, and joint instability.

Not always. Partial tears or tears in non-athletes may be managed with physical therapy alone. However, surgery is often recommended for complete tears, especially in active individuals who want to return to high-impact activities.

With surgery, full recovery can take 6–9 months or more. Without surgery, recovery timelines vary but usually take several months. Consistent physical therapy is key to regaining strength, balance, and joint stability.

Yes, many individuals return to sports with proper rehab. A structured physical therapy program helps ensure your knee is strong, stable, and fully functional before returning to high-level activity.
