🧠 What is an ACL Injury & How Can Physiotherapy Help?

An ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) injury is one of the most common sports injuries, especially in athletes involved in football, cricket, kabaddi, and gym training. It usually occurs due to sudden twisting, pivoting, or landing incorrectly.

⚠️ Common Symptoms of ACL Injury

• Knee instability or “giving way”

• Swelling within 24 hours

• Pain while walking or turning

• Reduced range of motion

⏳ ACL Recovery Timeline (What to Expect)

Recovery depends on whether you opt for surgery or rehab:

• 0–2 weeks: Pain & swelling control

• 3–6 weeks: Restore movement & basic strength

• 6–12 weeks: Strength + stability training

• 3–6 months: Sports-specific rehab

• 6–9 months: Return to sports
