Your recovery from an ACL surgery will begin the first day after your operation. Immediate physical therapy intervention allows for optimal recovery of one’s range of motion and quad re-activation. Subsequent phases of ACL rehabilitation are strategically outlined to enhance recovery and prevent future injury.
