ACL/PCL injuries and Meniscus Tears

At Hallamshire Physiotherapy Clinic, we provide expert assessment, rehabilitation, and exercise programmes for people with ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) or PCL (posterior cruciate ligament) injuries and meniscus tears. Our specialist physiotherapists help patients recover strength, stability, and mobility after injury or surgery.


Understanding ACL & PCL Injuries

The ACL and PCL are key ligaments in your knee that stabilise movement and prevent abnormal motion. Injuries to these ligaments often occur during sports, high-impact activities, or accidents.

Symptoms may include:

  • Knee pain and swelling

  • Instability or a feeling of the knee “giving way”

  • Reduced range of motion

  • Difficulty walking or performing daily activities

Treatment may involve rehabilitation, surgery, or a combination of both, depending on the severity of the injury.


Meniscus Tears

The meniscus is a cartilage structure in the knee that absorbs shock and stabilises the joint. Meniscus tears can happen from sudden twisting movements, sports injuries, or gradual wear and tear.

Common signs of a meniscus tear include:

  • Knee pain, especially when twisting or squatting

  • Swelling and stiffness

  • Locking or catching sensations in the knee

  • Reduced movement and difficulty walking
