Cedar Park ACL Physical Therapy

An ACL injury is one of the most common injuries that athletes and weekend warriors experience. The ACL, or anterior cruciate ligament, connects the thighbone to the tibia (one of the bones in the lower leg) at the knee. Although it’s one of the largest ligaments in the body, it’s also one of the most vulnerable to tearing, snapping, or other damage. Surgery is one of the most common forms of treating ACL damage, and after the procedure, most patients face a long road to recovery. If you’re seeking the best Cedar Park, TX ACL physical therapy, you’re in the right place. Contact Austin Physical Therapy today for a personalized assessment.

ACL Physical Therapy Cedar Park, TX

Physical therapy is a critical component of recovery from ACL surgery. It can also help ease CL pain and improve your range of movement; if you have inflammation or an overextended anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), our physical therapy programs can help you recover and regain your accustomed range of motion. We set achievable goals and create an environment of encouragement and support. The primary goals of your Cedar Park ACL physical therapy program are to reduce inflammation, swelling, and pain, help strengthen the muscles surrounding your knee, and help you regain your full range of motion.

Each patient’s ACL therapy program is different, but in general, we divide the treatment into stages. The acute phase focuses on pain management and reducing inflammation, regaining the initial range of motion, and beginning gentle muscle strengthening exercises. We build on your success as we move into the intermediate phase, with more advanced strength training, plyometrics, and continued focus on balance and proprioception.

As your progress and movements improve, we start incorporating more explosive movements and heavier weights. We cheer on each victory and encourage you if you fail to complete specific tasks. We combine in-office exercises with “homework” for you to practice on your own, which can help speed recovery. And, we coordinate with your surgeon and primary care doctor to ensure that your activity level is within appropriate parameters.
