Your Ultimate Guide to ACL Rehab
If you or someone you know has recently or previously experienced an ACL injury, or are on the road to recovery, it is important to know that rehabilitation is a significant part of this journey. This blog post will guide you through the complexities of ACL rehabilitation, providing expert advice, helpful insights, as well as tips and exercises that can aid in your recovery. In this blog we explore surgical management, the Cross Bracing Protocol and conservative management. Regardless of your treatment choice, restoring your knee's function, your confidence in movement and getting you back to your sport and the activities you love is our ultimate goal at Back to Bounce Sports Physiotherapy.
What is the Cross Bracing Protocol? Non-surgical management of ACL rupture
Traditionally, it was understood that if you rupture your ACL, surgery was necessary to return to playing sports. An ACL rupture often required surgical intervention followed by extensive rehabilitation to restore strength and stability. Whilst effective, this approach involves a prolonged recovery period and isn't always suitable for everyone. Innovative research indicates that for specific types of ACL ruptures, there’s an alternative approach which can lead to ACL healing without surgery, via the Cross Bracing Protocol. This new alternative to surgery is promising for many individuals who do not want to undergo surgery. In this blog we explore this conservative management program to help facilitate healing of the ACL.
Play safe: your guide to ACL Injury Prevention
At Back to Bounce, we specialise in ACL injury prevention and rehabilitation. We guide patients through the rehabilitation process to recover from injury and return to high level performance and sport. In the world of sports, agility and strength are key, but so is injury prevention. Among the most dreaded injuries for athletes is an ACL rupture—a setback that can bench you for months or even end a season. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or recreational sportsperson, understanding how to protect your ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) is crucial for staying in the game, doing what you love.
Field Sessions
Returning to training or competing after having an injury can be a scary process for most people. We understand that gradually exposing athletes to load is crucial to ensure they have a successful rehabilitation.

The knee is a common source of pain for a lot of us throughout our life span. There are some symptoms that, although quite painful, can be normal and treatable. There are others, however, that warrant further investigation from a health professional.
