ACL Tear Pembroke Pines

If you’ve experienced a pop in your knee followed by swelling, instability, or pain, it could be an ACL tear—one of the most common and serious knee injuries, particularly among athletes and active individuals. At Theracave, we specialize in providing physical therapy for ACL tears, offering a personalized recovery plan tailored to your needs. Whether you’re managing a tear without surgery or recovering from an ACL reconstruction, our expert therapists are here to guide you through each step of your rehabilitation journey. Our goal is to help you regain strength, mobility, and stability, so you can get back to the activities you love without pain or limitations.

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) plays a crucial role in stabilizing the knee during movement. When this ligament is torn, it can make movement unstable and painful. For both non-surgical and post-surgery recovery, physical therapy is essential to restore function and reduce the risk of further injury. At Theracave, we use evidence-based methods such as strength-building exercises, joint mobility work, and neuromuscular re-education to help you recover. By focusing on personalized care and tailored treatment plans, we help our patients achieve long-term recovery and safely return to their daily activities, stronger and more resilient than before.

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.
