The Athlete-Focused Approach to ACL Rehab
Traditional rehab models — like Physio, Osteo, Chiro, and Myo — are outdated and inadequate for athletes. That’s why professional sporting organisations replaced them years ago with an integrated performance model, where physiotherapists work in tandem with Strength & Conditioning Coaches, Sports Scientists, and Coaching Staff. This ensures athletes maintain physical capacity, reduce injury risk, and return to sport without losing momentum. Simply put — resting doesn’t work. Athletes who stop training during injury often face deconditioning, slower rehab, and longer stints on the sidelines.
At Pivot Sports Performance in Ringwood, we deliver ACL rehabilitation the way it should be — tailored to your sport, guided by experts, and structured around performance milestones. Whether you're recovering from an ACL tear sustained on the field, court, or track, our team will guide you through each stage of your rehab with confidence.

Why Early ACL Rehab Matters
Starting physiotherapy early after an ACL injury is crucial.
Delayed rehab increases your risk of:
Ongoing swelling and stiffness
Without early movement and treatment, inflammation can linger, limiting joint mobility and delaying progress.
Muscle wasting (especially quadriceps)
The quads weaken quickly after injury, and early activation is crucial to regaining strength and knee control.
Poor movement patterns
Compensations in how you move — limping, favouring the uninjured leg, using different muscle groups — can lead to further biomechanical issues.
Increased chance of re-injury
Inadequate rehab leads to poor joint control and weakness in crucial muscles groups, thus increasing the risk of tearing the same or opposite ACL.
Delays in returning to sport or normal activity
The longer you wait, the longer it takes to rebuild strength, coordination, and sport-specific conditioning. This delays your return to the sport that you love.

Peace Of Mind Is Priceless... Until Now
UNDERSTANDING YOU
Knowing your injury history, sporting goals, rehabilitation process and your goals. Without knowing you, we can not help you.

CAPACITY TESTING
Endurance based testing to assess your ability to handle fatigue. Ensure that you can handle the demands of sport and stay on the field for the entire game.
PSYCHOLOGICAL READINESS
Fear of re-injury, fear of movement and low confidence levels are red-flags for athletes being underdone. Our Psychological Readiness Screening will identify those who are not in the right head space to be in the firing line again.
RETURN TO SPORT REPORT
A comprehensive report outlining your strengths, weaknesses and blind spots, as well as our recommendations and rating for your readiness to step back out on field.

ACL Rehab FAQs
What are common symptoms of an ACL Injury?
ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) injuries typically occur from sudden stops, pivots, or awkward landings.
Signs you’ve torn or strained your ACL may include:
A loud pop at the time of injury
Rapid knee swelling
Knee instability or buckling
Difficulty bending or straightening the knee
Pain during twisting or weight-bearing movements
Do I need a scan first?
Not necessarily. Our physios can assess ACL injuries clinically and guide you on whether imaging is required based on your goals and severity.
Do you work with athletes post-surgery ACLs?
Yes. We regularly collaborate with orthopaedic surgeons and work with athletes through every post-op stage — from crutches to high-speed return-to-play drills.
How long does ACL rehab take?
Most post-operative ACL cases require 9–12 months of rehab. Non-surgical rehab timelines vary but are generally between 3–6 months depending on sport, strength levels, and neuromuscular control.
