ACL reconstruction recovery

A free guided exercise program for the weeks after ACL reconstruction.

After an ACL reconstruction, the weeks that follow are about getting your knee straight, moving it and rebuilding strength. This program starts with a short assessment, guides you through each exercise and adjusts to your pain and effort. Some exercises start only in later weeks, counted from the date of your operation. It does not include running, jumping or sport; those need an in-person check first.

How it works

  • A short assessment first

    A few questions about your operation and how you feel. If something means this program is not right for you now, it tells you before any exercise.

  • Exercises one at a time

    Plain instructions for each move. After every set you report your pain and effort, and the plan responds.

  • Stop and contact your clinician

    When your answers suggest it is time to rest or to get help, the program says so clearly.

Who it is for

People who have had ACL reconstruction and want a guided home routine for the weeks after it, alongside the care of their surgeon and physiotherapist. If your surgeon has set limits on how far you may move your knee, or did something else to your knee in the same operation, their plan comes first.
