Top 10 Worst Exercises For Trying To Heal An ACL Tear Without Surgery

A torn ACL has the ability to heal without surgery by using the right exercises at the right time as treatment. But often people looking to heal without surgery wind up doing the same exercises as someone who is rehabilitating from an ACL reconstruction surgery. This DOESN'T make sense because there are different problems to heal from and different goals to achieve. If you've had an ACL reconstruction surgery or a BEAR restoration surgery, then your main priority after surgery will be to regain large losses of motion that often happen as a result of the surgical procedure. But if you didn't have surgery, then chances are you only have a minor loss of motion or no lost knee range motion at all. Why would you want to spend time doing exercises to help regain motion if that's not your main problem? This is just one example of a difference in the rehabilitation process between an ACL reconstruction and healing without ACL surgery. In this video, Dr. David shares the top 10 worst exercises for trying to heal an ACL tear without surgery. 📚 Learn more about the ACL Tear Recovery Program here: https://www.epmanualphysicaltherapy.com/acl-tear-recovery-program/ ▶️ Check out our ACL Tear Help Playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJVIPiFvv1mY5egV7qX8PHh-kEeL6y1wP ⭐️ Want to learn about a patient’s journey?
