Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are among the most significant injuries in sport. Whether you are preparing for surgery, recovering post-operatively, or trying to return to play safely, a structured rehabilitation programme is essential.
At Physio Tullamore, we guide ACL patients through every phase of recovery: from restoring range of motion and walking pattern, to rebuilding strength, running mechanics, jumping and change-of-direction ability, and finally objective return-to-sport testing.
Our programme is based on current rehabilitation research and tailored to your surgery type, graft choice, sport, position and goals.
A clear, criteria-based progression from injury to return to sport.
Restore knee range of motion, reduce swelling, rebuild quadriceps activation and return to normal walking.
Progressive quadriceps, hamstring, calf and hip strengthening with careful load management and movement quality.
Reintroduce running, plyometrics and landing mechanics with ForceDeck monitoring to track limb symmetry.
Sport-specific deceleration, cutting, pivoting and agility retraining under controlled, progressive loading.
Objective strength, power and movement tests to determine readiness and reduce re-injury risk.
Gradual return to training and competition with ongoing monitoring and load management.
Prehab before ACL surgery — sometimes called pre-operative rehabilitation — can improve outcomes after surgery. Goals typically include:
Research suggests that better pre-operative strength and range of motion are associated with better post-operative outcomes.
After ACL reconstruction, rehabilitation follows a structured timeline guided by healing, milestones and objective testing. We work closely with your surgeon and update your programme at each phase.
We use force plates and validated tests to support return-to-sport decisions.
We compare your results to normative data and your uninjured limb. Return to sport is recommended only when strength, power, movement quality and psychological readiness meet appropriate criteria.
Our clinicians have extensive experience managing ACL injuries across club, county and elite sport.
We don't guess. Force plates, 3D motion capture and validated hop tests guide progression.
We communicate with surgeons and GPs to keep your rehabilitation aligned with your medical care.
Your programme is built around the movements and loads of your actual sport.
