ACL Rehabilitation at Hetal’s Core Physiotherapy, Kalyan

By Dr. Hetal Patel – Certified Physiotherapist

Recovering from an ACL injury or surgery? You’re not alone. ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) injuries are common among athletes and active individuals—but with the right physiotherapy, a full recovery is absolutely possible. At Hetal’s Core Physiotherapy, Kalyan, Dr. Hetal Patel provides expert, personalized ACL rehabilitation programs to help you regain strength, stability, and confidence in your knee.

What Is an ACL Injury?

The ACL is one of the major ligaments in the knee that stabilizes the joint during movement. ACL injuries typically occur due to sudden stops, twists, or impacts—often during sports like football, cricket, basketball, or even in road accidents.

You may hear a “pop” sound, followed by pain, swelling, and a feeling of instability or “giving way” in the knee. An ACL tear often requires surgical reconstruction, followed by a structured rehabilitation program.
