PCL Tear Deerfield Beach
PCL Tear Deerfield Beach
If you’ve experienced a sudden impact, fall, or awkward landing and now feel pain, swelling, or instability in your knee, you could be dealing with a PCL (posterior cruciate ligament) tear. At Theracave in Deerfield Beach, we specialize in helping clients recover from PCL injuries through personalized, non-surgical physical therapy. Our treatment plans focus on reducing inflammation, restoring knee strength, and improving joint stability—so you can return to daily life without fear of reinjury.
The PCL is a critical ligament that prevents the shinbone from sliding backward behind the thighbone, playing a key role in overall knee stability. PCL tears are often the result of direct trauma or sudden force and may be overlooked without a proper diagnosis. At Theracave in Deerfield Beach, we provide a detailed evaluation followed by targeted therapy designed to support healing, enhance mobility, and prevent long-term complications. With expert care and consistent support, many clients regain full function without the need for surgery.

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.
