From day 1 post-op to your first match — structured, evidence-based ACL rehab built around criteria, not just calendar weeks.
The number-one factor in ACL surgery outcomes is rehab quality and duration — not the surgical technique. Patients who rush back early are 5x more likely to re-tear.
Our programme is phase-based and criteria-driven — you progress when your strength and movement tests pass, not by time alone.
We coordinate directly with your orthopaedic surgeon and follow international ACL guidelines.
Four distinct phases, each with specific criteria for progression.
Swelling, full extension, quad activation.
Heavy strength training.
Plyometrics, deceleration.
Sport-specific, RTP testing.
Functional brace use & weaning.
Single-leg, triple-hop, cross-over.
After re-tear or graft failure.
Graft-specific considerations.
Long-term strength & control.
Common warning signs of inadequate ACL rehab.
Persistent instability after surgery.
Visible thinning of thigh muscle.
>10% difference between legs.
Lacking confidence in the knee.
A staged, surgeon-aligned pathway from hospital discharge back to your normal life.
We coordinate directly with your surgeon to understand the procedure and protocol.
Swelling control, gentle range of motion, early walking practice.
Progressive strength and endurance work tailored to your goals.
Return to driving, gym, sport, work — built around YOUR milestones.
A combined approach to control pain, restore movement and rebuild strength safely.
Gentle mobilisation to prevent adhesions.
Electrical modalities for post-op pain.
Photobiomodulation to speed healing.
When surgeon permits.
Walking pattern correction.
Bodyweight to weighted strength.
Where swelling is significant.
Outcome-driven discharge — no guesswork.
Why structured post-op rehab beats 'doing it at home from a handout'.
Structured rehab cuts recovery 30–40%.
Stronger, more mobile end result.
Reduce stiffness, weakness, chronic pain.
Walk, drive, climb stairs, gym.
No travel post-op.
Team approach with your surgeon.
From hospital discharge to full activity return — six clear stages.
Contact with your surgeon to confirm protocol.
Within 1–3 days post-op — assessment, pain control.
Swelling control, range of motion, walking practice.
Progressive loading, daily activities.
Return to gym, sport, driving, work.
Long-term programme to protect surgical outcome.
"Tore my ACL playing football. Surgeon recommended Juhu Physio for pre-op and post-op. 10 months later I passed all return-to-sport tests and I'm back competing. Their methodical approach made all the difference."
