About
ACL Rehab in Sydney
The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is pivotal in limiting anterior tibial translation and internal rotation, playing a crucial role in knee stability, especially in sports like soccer, rugby, and basketball.
In ACL repair, the commonly used graft in Australia is the patient’s own hamstring, typically the semitendinosus tendon. This graft is looped over itself to serve as the ‘new ACL,’ compromising the hamstring muscles. Due to the multifaceted nature of ACL rehab and its significance to knee stability, a minimum 9-month rehabilitation process is recommended.
Rehabilitation should be criteria-based rather than time-based. Establishing and meeting milestones, along with appropriate entry and exit criteria for each stage, are crucial. At SportsFit, we’re at the forefront of Sports Physiotherapy in Sydney, specializing in ACL treatment from post-op day 1 to the return to sport.
Our comprehensive approach involves thorough knee testing throughout rehab, providing detailed reports on strengths, weaknesses, and key areas for improvement. Beyond typical theraband exercises, our strength training goes beyond bodyweight exercises. Our running programs are meticulously tailored, ensuring your ACL rehab is not just a routine but an individualized experience.
We’re not just another physiotherapy clinic; we are a dedicated rehab facility, shaping every type of ACL rehabilitation journey. Your path to recovery deserves nothing less than elite standards.

OUR ACL STATS
Decreased Risk of Reinjury
Pitch Ready has completed over 350 Pitch Ready Clinic tests with a current ACL (and contra lateral) re-injury rate of only 3.2%* for those that normalize capacity testing criteria. This compares favorably to published research which was typically conducted using smaller sample sizes and much higher rates of re-injury. All injury and return to sport data will be the subject of future published research.
