How to Manage an ACL Injury?

How We Help Manage and Rehabilitate Your ACL Injury

An ACL injury can be a significant challenge, but with the right guidance, rehabilitation, and treatment plan, you can regain strength, stability, and confidence in your movement. At JPM Osteopathy, we take a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to ACL management, using the latest research and gold-standard rehabilitation protocols to guide your recovery.

Prehabilitation (Before Surgery, If Required)

If surgery is necessary, we help you prepare by:

• Reducing swelling and pain

• Restoring knee mobility

• Strengthening key muscles to improve post-surgery recovery outcomes

Post-Surgery & Early Recovery

In the initial recovery phase, we focus on:

• Managing swelling and inflammation

• Restoring knee movement and function

• Activating and strengthening the quadriceps

• Ensuring safe weight-bearing progression

Strength & Movement Control

As healing progresses, we guide you through:

• Structured strength training for the lower limb

• Balance, coordination, and proprioception exercises

• Movement pattern corrections to prevent compensations

Return to Running & Sport-Specific Training

When you’re ready, we help reintroduce dynamic movements through:

• Controlled running and impact training

• Sport-specific drills and agility work

• Plyometric exercises to rebuild power and confidence

Final Stages: Full Return to Sport

Before returning to full activity, we ensure you meet all key recovery markers by:

• Conducting strength and stability assessments

• Implementing tailored injury prevention strategies

• Providing ongoing support to minimise re-injury risk
