A member asked:
Does physical therapy help a partially torn acl injury?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
ACL tear: Physical therapy helps by keeping the surrounding muscles strong. However your orthopedic surgeon must outline the physical therapy program so that further ligament damage won't occur. Bear in mind that the ligament can't heal as it has no blood supply.
