What type of physical therapy should be done after an acl replacement surgery?

After having an ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) replacement surgery, your surgeon should send you to a physical therapist. The job of the physical therapist is to prescribe different exercises in order to properly heal after the surgery. The exact physical therapy program will differ between each patient, based on their individual results. Also, the length of your physical therapy program will depend on how you progress through the different exercises. It is important to see a physical therapist after surgery to make sure that your body heals properly. If your surgeon for some reason does not send you to a physical therapist, make sure to request one.
