BEFORE YOU BOOK
COMMON QUESTIONS.
Can you help before ACL surgery?
Yes. Prehabilitation may help you work on strength, mobility and function before your procedure.
Do you manage ACL injuries without surgery?
Yes. Management options depend on your injury, knee function, goals and shared decisions with your treating team.
When can I return to sport?
There is no single timeline that suits everyone. Progression considers healing, strength, function, symptoms, confidence and the demands of your sport.
