3. Undergo Physical Therapy
Physical therapy is one of the most important things that you will be tasked with after an ACL injury. Physical therapy is probably the most effective tool that your doctor has in order to you back in top shape.
Physical therapy may be painful, it may be a pain to have to go every week or even twice a week and it might be fairly expensive if your insurance does not cover it. None of that means that you should skip it, however.
Physical therapy is the slow and deliberate process of putting your body back together after an injury. This means getting the muscles to start to work so they don’t atrophy but without so much that you put too much strain and injure yourself again.
Your physical therapist knows exactly how much work to do with your body to get to heal without injury.
