What is an Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and why is it important?
The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is vital for knee stability, especially during dynamic sports that require sudden direction changes, like football, soccer, and basketball. Understanding the different grades of ACL injuries—ranging from mild sprains to complete tears—is essential for effective treatment. Pre-habilitation (pre-hab) significantly enhances recovery by addressing swelling, restoring range of motion, and maintaining strength before surgery. At Athletes' Edge PT in Austin, TX, we offer customized rehabilitation programs designed to help you recover fully and return to your sport safely and effectively.
