A member asked:

I had a ligament injury in acl. although i'm cured now but i am scared of starting to play again. how should i go about it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Try Physical Therapy: Once your repaired knee demonstrates strength, proprioception, and function roughly equal to the unaffected knee it should be safe to play again. A physical therapist can help give you exercises and watch your technique to develop proper alignment and biomechanics to use that knee again.
