What Is A PCL Injury?

The PCL is one of the key stabilising ligaments in the knee, preventing the tibia (shin bone) from sliding backward under the femur. It’s typically injured during:

- Falls onto a bent knee

- Hyperextension injuries during sprinting

- Collisions or awkward landings

- Direct force to the front of the shin

PCL injuries may be isolated or part of more complex multi-ligament trauma.

Symptoms of a PCL Tear or Strain

- Pain and swelling behind the knee

- Discomfort or buckling when descending stairs

- Hesitation with acceleration or downhill running

- Reduced control during agility work or deceleration

- Ongoing quad weakness or imbalance

Why PCL Rehab Is Critical

PCL injuries often get overlooked — especially partial tears — leading to chronic instability, compensation issues, and increased risk of overload on the knee joint.

At Pivot Ringwood, we go beyond rest and general rehab. We use structured testing, movement coaching, and progressive overload to:

- Prevent quad wasting and long-term imbalance

- Improve proprioception and agility under fatigue

- Build repeatable, sport-ready strength and control

PCL Rehab FAQs

Do all PCL injuries need surgery?

No. Most PCL injuries — even moderate tears — can be treated conservatively with structured rehab and do not require surgical intervention.

How long does it take to return to sport after a PCL injury? 

Mild injuries may return within 6–8 weeks. Moderate to severe or multi-ligament cases may take 12+ weeks depending on sport, position, and rehab progression.

Do you treat athletes with PCL reconstructions? 

Yes. We work with both surgical and non-surgical PCL cases, including professional and community-level athletes.

Our No Risk

Guarantee

At the end of your initial treatment, your action plan will be discussed and a expected recovery time will be established. If you have not recovered in that time, lived up to the expectations and there have been no unforeseen events, we will continue to rehabilitate your injury without additional charge!
