PCL Tear Sunrise
PCL Tear Sunrise
If you’ve experienced a fall, direct impact, or sudden twisting motion and now feel knee pain, swelling, or instability, you may have sustained a PCL (posterior cruciate ligament) tear. At Theracave in Sunrise, we offer personalized physical therapy focused on helping you heal from PCL injuries without surgery whenever possible. Our approach targets pain relief, muscle strengthening, and joint stabilization to restore full function and get you back to your routine safely.
The PCL is one of the key stabilizing ligaments in the knee, preventing your shinbone from moving too far backward. Though not as commonly injured as the ACL, a torn PCL can still lead to serious mobility issues if left untreated. At Theracave in Sunrise, we begin with a comprehensive evaluation to assess the severity of your injury and design a rehab plan tailored to your lifestyle and goals. With one-on-one care and consistent therapy, we’ll help you rebuild strength, improve mobility, and return to pain-free movement.

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.
