That sickening “pop” in your knee. 🦵
An ACL tear is one of the most common — and most feared — sports injuries, especially in footy, netball, soccer and basketball where sudden stops and twists are part of the game.
Signs to watch for:
🔹 An audible snap or tearing sound at the time of injury
🔹 Deep, hard-to-pinpoint pain in the knee
🔹 A feeling of the knee “giving way”
🔹 Swelling and trouble putting weight on it
Not every ACL injury means surgery — minor sprains can settle with the right hands-on care and rehab, while more serious tears need a proper plan to avoid longer-term issues down the track.
Whatever the severity, the earlier it’s assessed, the better. Our practitioners can help with rehab (pre- and post-surgery), mobility work, clinical Pilates and dry needling, tailored to where you’re at.
