Evidence-informed physiotherapy after ligament and tendon repair, focused on restoring mobility, strength, movement control and functional confidence while protecting the healing repair.
After ligament or tendon repair, temporary protection and reduced activity can lead to stiffness, muscle weakness, reduced movement confidence and difficulty returning to normal activities.
Physiotherapy supports the gradual restoration of mobility, muscle strength, neuromuscular control, balance and functional capacity while respecting the healing repair.
The rehabilitation programme should follow the specific postoperative protocol because different repairs have different biological healing and loading requirements.
Rehabilitation differs according to the repaired structure, surgical technique and stage of tissue healing.
Progressive rehabilitation focused on knee mobility, quadriceps and hamstring strength, neuromuscular control and return to functional activity.
A carefully progressed programme that respects ligament-specific loading restrictions while rebuilding strength, stability and movement control.
Rehabilitation progresses according to the surgical protocol, with gradual restoration of ankle movement, calf strength, walking and functional loading.
Postoperative rehabilitation focuses on protected shoulder mobility followed by progressive strength and restoration of upper-limb function.
Specialized rehabilitation may address protected movement, stiffness, strength and restoration of hand function according to the repair protocol.
Rehabilitation can be individualized for other repaired ligaments and tendons based on the structure, surgical technique and clinical progression.
Rehabilitation progresses from protection of the repair toward restoration of movement, strength and function.
Rehabilitation begins by respecting surgical precautions and avoiding excessive stress on the healing ligament or tendon.
Appropriate range-of-motion exercises are gradually introduced according to the repair-specific protocol.
Progressive strengthening helps address muscle inhibition and weakness following surgery and reduced activity.
Movement-control training helps restore coordinated and confident use of the repaired limb.
Progressive balance and stability work may be used when appropriate for the repaired structure and recovery stage.
Gradual progression toward walking, daily activities, work, exercise or sport-specific goals.
There is no single timeline for every ligament or tendon repair. Progression depends on tissue healing, surgical protocol, symptoms and objective functional milestones.
Protect the repair, manage postoperative symptoms and maintain appropriate movement and general function.
Gradually restore appropriate range of motion while continuing to respect tissue-healing restrictions.
Progressive resistance, neuromuscular control and functional loading are introduced as appropriate.
Gradual progression toward daily activities, work, exercise or sport-specific performance.
Every session is adjusted according to the repaired structure, surgical protocol, healing stage, symptoms, strength and functional goals.
Assessment of pain, swelling, mobility, strength and functional limitations.
Treatment follows the surgeon's restrictions and repair-specific loading guidelines.
Appropriate range-of-motion and mobility exercises introduced according to healing stage.
Progressive resistance training when appropriate for the repaired tissue.
Gradual progression of walking, transfers, stairs and other relevant activities.
Individualized exercises to continue rehabilitation between supervised sessions.
Rehabilitation after ligament reconstruction is supported by clinical guidelines and systematic reviews, with exercise-based rehabilitation forming a central component of recovery.
The clinical practice guideline identifies exercise interventions as the mainstay of ACL reconstruction rehabilitation and provides criteria-based guidance for progression and return to running and sport.
Read Guideline →A systematic review of 50 high-level studies found evidence supporting several rehabilitation approaches following ACL reconstruction, including supervised rehabilitation and neuromuscular electrical stimulation for appropriate patients.
Read Research →An overview of systematic reviews found moderate-certainty evidence for several rehabilitation approaches, including neuromuscular electrical stimulation to improve quadriceps strength and structured home-based rehabilitation.
Read Research →A 2026 systematic review found trends toward better knee strength, functional performance and patient- reported outcomes with longer supervised rehabilitation, although the overall evidence quality was limited.
Read Research →Home rehabilitation may be appropriate for patients who require supervised physiotherapy during postoperative recovery, subject to medical and surgical guidance.
Rehabilitation following ACL and other ligament reconstruction or repair, with progression based on the specific surgical protocol.
Individualized rehabilitation after Achilles, rotator cuff, hand or other tendon repairs while protecting the healing tissue.
Support for stiffness, weakness and reduced function following periods of bracing, casting or restricted movement.
Progressive rehabilitation toward daily activities, work, exercise and sport-specific functional goals.
