ACL Tears
Personalized physical therapy to help you restore movement, strength, balance, and confidence.
Rehabilitation for Your Knee and Your Goals
An ACL tear can make everyday movement, exercise, work, and sports feel uncertain. At San Tan Physical Therapy, your care begins with a thorough, one-on-one evaluation. We listen to you and create a personalized care plan designed to improve strength, mobility, and confidence.
Whether you are managing a knee injury conservatively, preparing for a procedure, or progressing after surgery, our team provides hands-on care and therapeutic exercise to help you move forward. No doctor referral is necessary, and first visits are often available within 24–48 hours.
A Progressive Recovery Plan
Your program is progressed according to your presentation and goals. San Tan Physical Therapy describes recovery as a five-phase process that builds from symptom management to goal-specific activity.
1. Pain Relief
Early goals commonly include reducing pain, swelling, and inflammation. Injury protection, elevation, compression, and patient education can be important during this phase.
2. Introduce Movement
As appropriate, care may include pain-free passive and active range of motion, manual therapy, and cardiorespiratory exercise to help reintroduce movement.
3. Strengthening
Progressive loading, low-stress neuromuscular reeducation, balance training, and basic functional activities help build a stronger foundation for recovery.
4. Functional Retraining
Progressing strength and flexibility while advancing balance and functional movement helps prepare you for the activities that matter to you, including sports movements when appropriate.
5. Recovery & Prevention
Later care focuses on continued strengthening, flexibility, balance, endurance, goal-specific training, and education for future injury prevention.
