🦵🏽 I tore my ACL. Thought I’d share my story from last year.
As a physio, I’ve treated countless ACL injuries — but experiencing one myself was a completely different story.
In that moment, I wasn’t the clinician. I was the patient — with the same fears, doubts, and “what now?” questions I’ve heard from so many others.
Instead, I committed to my own rehab plan — focused on strength, control, and confidence. It was slow, humbling, and far from perfect… but it worked.
This experience reminded me that rehab is never just about the body. It’s about patience, consistency, and trust — in the process, and in yourself.
Is this for everyone? Absolutely not. There are a number of factors to take into consideration. I discussed options with my consultant. For me it was going to be conservative management.
I’ll be posting my favourite exercises and experiences over the next few weeks. Stay Tuned 😀
