PCL Tear Lauderhill
Experiencing knee pain, swelling, or instability after a fall or sudden impact? You might be dealing with a PCL (posterior cruciate ligament) tear—a key injury that can affect your knee’s stability and function. At Theracave in Lauderhill, we offer specialized physical therapy for PCL injuries focused on non-surgical recovery. Our personalized treatment plans aim to reduce pain, rebuild strength, and restore joint control, so you can return to your normal activities with confidence.
The PCL plays a crucial role in preventing the shinbone from sliding backward beneath the thighbone. Injuries often occur during sports, accidents, or missteps and may go undetected without a proper diagnosis. At Theracave in Lauderhill, we conduct a thorough assessment to understand your specific injury and create a tailored rehabilitation program. With hands-on care, guided exercises, and expert support, we help you recover effectively while minimizing the risk of long-term complications or reinjury.

Q&A
What is a PCL tear and how is it different from an ACL tear?
A PCL tear affects the posterior cruciate ligament, located behind the knee, and is often caused by direct impact or falling on a bent knee. Unlike an ACL tear, which is more common and often results from pivoting or twisting, PCL injuries are typically the result of trauma.
Do all PCL tears require surgery?
No. Many partial or isolated PCL tears can be treated conservatively with physical therapy, bracing, and activity modification. Surgery is usually reserved for complete tears or those involving multiple knee structures.
How long does it take to recover from a PCL tear?
Recovery times vary. Non-surgical cases may take 6–12 weeks with consistent therapy. Post-surgical rehab often takes 4–6 months or more, depending on the severity of the injury and individual progress.
Can I return to sports after a PCL tear?
Yes. Most individuals return to sports or high-impact activities after completing a structured rehab program. Physical therapy helps restore knee strength, control, and confidence before resuming intense movement.
