PCL Tear Hollywood
PCL Tear Hollywood
If you’re experiencing knee pain, swelling, or instability after a fall or direct blow to the leg, you may be dealing with a PCL (posterior cruciate ligament) tear. At Theracave in Hollywood, we provide expert physical therapy designed to help you recover from this type of injury without surgery in many cases. Our personalized treatment plans focus on relieving pain, restoring strength, and improving stability—helping you regain confidence in your movement and avoid long-term joint issues.
The PCL is one of the key ligaments that stabilize the knee by preventing the shinbone from moving too far backward. PCL injuries are often caused by sports impacts, car accidents, or sudden trauma and may go undiagnosed without proper assessment. At Theracave in Hollywood, we begin with a thorough evaluation and create a customized rehab plan tailored to your recovery goals. With hands-on care and consistent support, we help you rebuild knee function and get back to your active lifestyle safely and effectively.

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.
