ACL Injuries

ACL Rehabilitation in Perth

ACL rupture is one of the most significant sports injuries. The risk of re-injury — particularly re-rupture of the graft or injury to the other knee — is substantially reduced when return to sport is based on objective criteria rather than time alone. This is the foundation of how we approach ACL rehabilitation at Move Physiotherapy.

Following either conservative management or surgical reconstruction, rehabilitation is structured and criterion-based — each stage is gated by objective strength testing before progression. We can refer you directly for MRI to confirm the diagnosis without needing a GP referral first.

Both conservative and post-surgical ACL rehabilitation respond well to the right programme. The timeline varies, but the approach is consistent: restore strength, restore symmetry between legs, and return to sport only when the data supports it.

We see ACL patients across our four Perth clinics: Beeliar, Booragoon, East Fremantle, and Jandakot. No referral is needed to book.

VALD Technology

Technology-Based
Injury Assessment

Included gap-free with every initial assessment.

Move Physiotherapy uses VALD force measurement technology -- the same systems used by AFL, NRL and Olympic programs -- to objectively measure your strength, symmetry and recovery. For ACL rehabilitation, this means we can track your limb symmetry index (LSI) with precision at every stage, giving you and your physio real data to guide progression decisions -- not estimates.

Our Approach

The Move Process

01
Pre-Op Optimisation
Restore full range of motion, reduce swelling, and build quadriceps strength before surgery — patients with better pre-op quadriceps function achieve better post-op outcomes.
02
Early Post-Op
Weight-bearing progression, swelling management, range of motion restoration, and quad activation within surgical protocol guidelines.
03
Strength & Neuromuscular
Progressive quadriceps, hamstring, and hip strengthening with VALD testing. Graft protection throughout this phase is critical.
04
Running & Plyometrics
Return to running initiated when strength criteria are met. Progressive plyometric loading assessed against LSI thresholds.
05
Return to Sport
Sport-specific training and contact cleared only when LSI is 90% or greater, psychological readiness confirmed, and functional testing passed — typically at 9-12 months.
