An ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) injury can be a significant setback, whether from sports, an accident, or general strain. Our experienced physiotherapists in Auckland & Wellington specialise in ACL rehabilitation, guiding you through a structured recovery plan to restore strength, stability, and confidence in movement.

Knee pain and swelling
Instability or giving way
Reduced range of motion
