ACL Rehabilitation

ACL Injury Physiotherapy

Recovery & Rehabilitation

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.

The ACL is a crucial ligament in the knee that provides stability and support. Injuries often occur due to sudden stops, twisting motions, or direct impact.

Symptoms include:

Knee pain and swelling

Instability or giving way

Reduced range of motion
