PCL Tear Pompano Beach
PCL Tear Pompano Beach
If you’re experiencing knee pain, swelling, or a sense of instability after a fall or sudden impact, it could be a PCL (posterior cruciate ligament) tear. At Theracave in Pompano Beach, we specialize in non-surgical rehabilitation for PCL injuries, helping clients recover through tailored physical therapy plans. Our focus is on reducing pain, rebuilding strength, and restoring knee stability so you can get back to your normal activities with confidence and comfort.
The PCL is one of the main stabilizing ligaments in the knee, preventing the shinbone from sliding backward beneath the thighbone. Injuries to this ligament often go undiagnosed but can significantly impact your mobility over time. At Theracave in Pompano Beach, we begin with a thorough assessment to understand the extent of your injury and then create a personalized treatment plan. With hands-on therapy, targeted exercises, and expert support, we help guide you toward a full recovery—often 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.
