Physical Therapy for ACL Reconstruction in Troy, MT

Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction is a surgical procedure to restore the ACL in your knee. After surgery, a comprehensive rehabilitation plan led by a Physical Therapist is essential to regain knee strength and stability. In Troy, MT, following a structured, therapist-guided program supports a safe return to activity.

At OrthoRehab in Troy, MT, our team delivers expert rehabilitation after ACL reconstruction, typically combining supervised, goal-oriented exercises and techniques to promote recovery and track progress.

• Range of Motion – Physical therapy reduces stiffness and helps restore natural knee flexion and extension for full mobility.
• Strength – Targeted training rebuilds leg muscles, especially the quadriceps and hamstrings, to support the repaired ACL and enhance function.
• Stability – Balance work and functional movements improve knee stability, lowering the risk of reinjury.
• Flexibility – Stretching routines increase flexibility in surrounding muscles and tendons, encouraging smooth, comfortable movement.
• Muscle Control – Neuromuscular training refines coordination and control, enabling safe, efficient movement in everyday life and sports.

• Biodex Isokinetics: Specialized rehabilitation equipment that provides controlled resistance as you move, allowing precise, targeted exercise—especially helpful during ACL reconstruction rehab. Biodex Isokinetics helps improve muscle strength, endurance, and control, all critical to recovery after surgery.
• Blood Flow Restriction Therapy: Using the highly regarded Delfi system, this approach applies a cuff to limit blood flow to a specific area during exercise. The restriction elevates metabolic demand in the muscle, which can accelerate rehabilitation and support gains in strength and muscle mass.

Your Physical Therapist will examine your knee to assess current strength, range of motion, and stability, and will discuss your goals along with any concerns.

Based on the evaluation, your Physical Therapist will create a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs. This may include exercises to improve mobility, strength, and stability, along with strategies to manage pain and swelling. Biodex Isokinetics and Delfi Blood Flow Restriction may be included, as both are effective tools for enhancing rehabilitation. Your Physical Therapist will monitor your progress, adjust the plan as needed, and provide guidance on home exercises to support recovery.
