ACL reconstruction repairs the knee’s anterior cruciate ligament. After surgery, a comprehensive rehabilitation plan in Bigfork, MT, led by a Physical Therapist, is vital to regain knee strength and stability.

At OrthoRehab, our specialists deliver expert post‑ACL reconstruction rehab through supervised, goal‑driven exercises and measurable techniques to support healing.

• Range of Motion – Therapy reduces stiffness and restores natural knee mobility so you can bend and straighten comfortably.
• Strength – Targeted training rebuilds the quadriceps and hamstrings to support your repaired ACL and improve overall function.
• Stability – Balance and functional movements enhance knee stability and help lower the risk of reinjury.
• Flexibility – Stretching routines increase flexibility in surrounding muscles and tendons for smooth, pain‑free motion.
• Muscle Control – Neuromuscular training improves coordination and control for safe, efficient movement in daily life and sports.

• Biodex Isokinetics: specialized rehabilitation equipment that applies resistance throughout movement, allowing precise, controlled exercise. This is especially helpful during ACL reconstruction rehab, improving muscle strength, endurance, and control—critical for recovery after surgery.
• Blood Flow Restriction Therapy: using the highly respected Delfi system, this technique places a cuff to limit blood flow during exercise. The restriction increases metabolic demand in the muscle, supporting rehabilitation and helping boost strength and muscle mass.

Your Physical Therapist will assess your knee to gauge current strength, range of motion, and stability, and will talk through your goals and any concerns.

After the evaluation, your Physical Therapist will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. This may include exercises to improve mobility, strength, and stability, along with techniques to manage pain and swelling. Biodex Isokinetics and Delfi Blood Flow Restriction may be integrated to enhance your progress. Your therapist will monitor how you’re doing and adjust as needed, and will provide guidance on home exercises to support recovery.
