A single ACL tear is one of the most prevalent knee injuries, particularly in athletes and highly active patients. Regardless of whether it results from sport, trauma or a slip, it can be overwhelming and life-altering.
However, with an effective physiotherapy program, there's hope for recovery. Sterling Physiotherapy creates individualized ACL rehabilitation plans for patients to recover mobility, strength and safely return to their sports or activities.
