During this crucial period, the focus is on reducing swelling, regaining knee movement, and protecting the newly reconstructed ACL. Key steps include:

🦵 Gentle range-of-motion exercises
🧊 Swelling control with ice and elevation
🦯 Weight-bearing exercises with crutches to protect the knee
🦶 Strengthening the quadriceps to support stability

These foundational exercises are vital for a smooth recovery and set the stage for more advanced rehabilitation in the later phases.

Stay tuned for the next phase of recovery!

💥 Phase 2 (6-12 weeks):
Focuses on improving knee strength and stability with more dynamic exercises. Patients work on balance, coordination, and increasing the range of motion, while gradually reducing the use of crutches. Strengthening the quadriceps and hamstrings is key during this phase.

💪 Phase 3 (12-24 weeks):
This phase introduces advanced functional training and sports-specific exercises. Patients continue to build muscle strength and endurance, while preparing for a return to daily activities and eventually sports. It's all about restoring normal movement patterns and regaining confidence in the knee.

Here are some key signs that it’s time to consult a knee specialist:


🔸 Persistent Pain: If pain doesn’t improve with rest, ice, or medication, it could signal a more serious issue.

🔸 Limited Range of Motion: Difficulty moving joints or performing everyday activities like walking or lifting.

🔸 Swelling and Inflammation: Warm, tender joints may point to inflammation such as tendonitis or arthritis.
🔸 Instability and Weakness: Feeling weak or unstable in weight-bearing joints like the knees or hips can be a sign of ligament tears or joint instability.

🔸 Numbness or Tingling: Nerve compression can cause tingling, numbness, or weakness in your limbs.
🔸 Joint Deformity: Any visible abnormality in joint shape or alignment needs immediate evaluation.



Relate to any of these symptoms? Don’t wait—schedule a consultation with Mr. Bilal Barkatali for expert diagnosis and treatment.
