Block 2 ACL Rehabilitation | Introducing Load
This stage of rehabilitation focuses on gradually reintroducing load to the knee while restoring normal movement patterns, all whilst respecting the body’s natural healing process.
Throughout this phase, we continually monitor knee swelling, pain levels, range of movement and, most importantly, movement quality. We assess squat depth and carry out muscle strength testing to objectively track your progress.
These markers help us determine when you’re ready to progress to the next stage, ensuring your rehab is safe, effective and tailored specifically to your recovery—not just the number of weeks since surgery.
