About physiotherapy after ACL surgery
Before your surgery, your physiotherapist will talk you through some simple breathing and leg exercises. You should start doing these straight after your surgery. They will also see you post surgery. Before you go home, they give you a personalised exercise programme to follow and teach you how to use crutches.
Depending on your progress and goals, we see you as an outpatient for 5 - 12 months. Sticking to your programme will help your healing process. But if something doesn't feel right, tell your physiotherapist straight away.
Physiotherapy teams
Across the HCA UK network we offer physiotherapy to our inpatients, and on an outpatient basis.
Each physiotherapy team is made up of experienced physios who specialise in different areas of physiotherapy including musculoskeletal, respiratory, neurological and maternity.
