Are you sidelined from an ACL tear? ACL tears typically occur in sports where jumping, pivoting, and rapid change of direction occurs. Level 10 Physiotherapy can help you recover and get you back on the court or field. Conveniently located at 140-890 Harbourside Dr, North Vancouver, our clinic is here to help you rehab from your ACL tear and get back to the activities you love.
Understanding an ACL Tear:
An ACL injury is a tear or sprain of the anterior cruciate ligament- one of the strong bands of tissue that help connect your thigh bone (femur) to your shinbone (tibia). ACL injuries most commonly occur during sports that involve sudden stops or changes in direction, jumping and landing — such as soccer, basketball, football and downhill skiing. Many people hear a pop or feel a "popping" sensation in the knee when an ACL injury occurs. Your knee may swell, feel unstable and become too painful to bear weight.
Level 10 Physiotherapy understands the unique challenges this presents for high level athletes, and the importance of a comprehensive rehabilitation process to help get you back on the court or field safely.
Comprehensive Assessment:
At Level 10 Physiotherapy, we begin by conducting a thorough assessment to understand your present status and the conditions that could contribute to your ACL tear. We may reach out to your surgeon to discuss any precautions or timelines for your recovery.
ACL Rehabilitation Treatment:
Patients at Level 10 Physiotherapy can expect their therapist to use a combination of: hands on manual therapy techniques, IMS/ dry needling, and exercises in our world class athletics facility to improve strength and help get you back to your sport.
