PCL Tear Tamarac
PCL Tear Tamarac
Experiencing knee pain, swelling, or instability after a fall or sudden impact? You may be dealing with a PCL (posterior cruciate ligament) tear—an often overlooked but serious knee injury that can affect your stability and mobility. At Theracave in Tamarac, we specialize in non-surgical rehabilitation for PCL injuries through personalized physical therapy. Our focus is on reducing pain, restoring joint function, and helping you regain the strength and confidence to return to your daily routine safely.
The PCL plays a crucial role in keeping the knee stable by preventing the shinbone from shifting too far backward. Injuries to this ligament can occur during sports, accidents, or missteps, and they often require early intervention to prevent long-term complications. At Theracave in Tamarac, we start with a detailed assessment and build a custom treatment plan tailored to your injury and goals. With expert care and consistent therapy, many clients achieve a full recovery 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.
