PCL Tear Plantation
PCL Tear Plantation
If you’ve suffered a fall, sports injury, or direct impact and now feel knee pain, swelling, or instability, you may have a PCL (posterior cruciate ligament) tear. At Theracave in Plantation, we offer personalized physical therapy focused on helping you recover strength, stability, and function—without surgery in many cases. Our expert team creates a custom rehab plan to reduce pain, rebuild muscle support around the knee, and improve your overall mobility.
The PCL is a key ligament that prevents the shinbone from moving too far backward and helps keep the knee stable. PCL tears are often overlooked but can lead to long-term issues if not properly treated. At Theracave in Plantation, we start with a detailed evaluation to understand your condition and tailor therapy to your needs and activity level. Through guided movement, hands-on techniques, and consistent care, we help you restore knee health and return to your routine with confidence.

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.
