Non-surgical solutions to pain and injury

21/11/2025

New research shows that consistent, long term physiotherapy is key to successfully returning to sport after ACL injury.

📊 Key stats:

A study of 55 ACL patients across six NHS facilities found:

✅ LONG-TERM CONTACT WITH PHYSIO = BETTER OUTCOMES:

• Patients with 27-35 sessions had the highest return-to-sport rates

✅ TESTING MATTERS

• Using outcome measures and discharge criteria led to better results
• Patients who met specific benchmarks were more likely to return to sport successfully

💪 What Makes a Difference?

The patients who successfully returned to sport had:

• Regular physio appointments (not just a few sessions)
• Progress tracked with objective measurements
• Specific criteria met before discharge
• Dedicated rehabilitation programs

💡 The Bottom Line:

Rehabilitation isn't optional—it's essential. Whether you have surgery or not, committing to your physio program dramatically improves your chances of getting back to the activities you love.

As Physiotherapists we work with patients who have undergone both surgical intervention and non-op management and have helped them return to high level activities.

However, non-op management is often not even considered or communicated to patients as an option, despite the research supporting this approach; too many patients are steered toward surgery without fully understanding their options!

That's why here at Global Specialist Physiotherapy, we take a truly individualized approach to ACL rehabilitation. No one-size-fits-all protocols. No pressure to rush into surgery that may not be appropriate or even required.

Instead, we focus on:

✅️ Putting YOU in control of your recovery
✅️ Building strength, stability, and confidence through evidence-based rehab
✅️ Empowering you to make informed decisions about your care

Surgery has its place, but it's not the only path forward. If you've torn your ACL, you deserve a conversation about all your options - comment 'ACL' below or direct message to discuss further 👇👉

Let's explore what's possible for your recovery. You might be surprised at what your body can do!

And for other Physios out there, what has your experiences been with non-op management of ACL tears? Feel free to comment 😊👍

At Global Specialist Physiotherapy, we believe some patients should consider a bracing protocol, some patients can rehabilitate and heal without surgery, and some patients should see a surgeon for reconstruction.

Here is the case of a patient who came for a second opinion at 8 weeks post-injury, having already been under the excellent care of an interstate face-to-face Physiotherapist.

A follow-up MRI revealed improvement in the ligament continuity, laxity and thickness from the original images, with the patient extremely happy with her decision to stay on the non-surgical pathway.

Obviously every case is unique and outcomes can never be 100% assured, but it is awesome to hear further cases of how the narrative of ACL tear management is changing.

** Non-surgical ACL and meniscus tear management! **

Here is the brilliant story of Anna Spiers, a Physiotherapist who sustained a full thickness ACL tear rupture with associated considerable meniscal damage, opted for non-surgical management and returned to snowboarding!

She has maintained intense strengthening and physiotherapy exercises, has no symptoms in her knee and has returned to others pivoting sports and activities.

Obviously every case is unique and outcomes can never be 100% assured, but it is awesome to hear further cases of how the narrative of ACL tear management is changing.

Working as an independent consultant with healthcare clinics, individual clinicians and providing second opinions with patients, one of the major issues I see is a lack of consistent delivery of comprehensive yet succinct Treatment Management Plans.

These have been shown to improve patient satisfaction, outcomes and adherence to rehabilitation (Rossettini et al 2020), as well as assisting business KPI’s (Ferguson 2023).

Having trained 100’s of clinicians in using plans, I have seen the many benefits that rapidly they can have for patients and practices. Without a consistent Treatment Planning system, clinicians run the risk of coming across as waffly, unconvincing and even boring! 😴

Does your clinic have a predictable Treatment Management Planning system?

Is your staff consistent with delivering them, and are they fully booked?

If you’re a patient, how would you feel if you weren’t given a plan after seeing a therapist for your pain and injury concerns?

Our Story

Having worked in a hospital setting as a new graduate, Kieran encountered a system with many patients in severe pain, some who had sustained orthopaedic trauma and others who opted for elective procedures. He worked methodically to rehabilitate these patients back to their normal lives.

Later, working in private practice as a first-contact practitioner, Kieran further identified effective strategies and patterns of management that had not been widely explored or made known within the profession. Using them to treat patients' pain, he saw substantial improvements in their conditions.

This started a quest to find high-quality scientific evidence that validated the techniques and systems that he has used clinically to reduce patients pain, so they could avoid unnecessary imaging, medication, injection therapies and elective surgery.
