Recovering from Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction is one of the most challenging physical and mental journeys a patient can face. While your surgeon explains the procedure and the protocol, many aspects of the day-to-day recovery often come as a surprise.
In this video, Dr Shriram Krishnamoorthy pulls back the curtain on the "untold" realities of ACL rehabilitation. From the mental battles and the fear of re-injury to the non-linear progress of healing, we discuss what you actually need to expect during these next 6 to 9 months.
Whether you are an athlete eager to return to sport or someone just wanting to walk pain-free again, this guide will help you prepare for the road ahead.
In this video, we cover: ✅ The psychological impact of long-term rehab (The "ACL Blues"). ✅ Why progress isn't a straight line (and why that's okay). ✅ The reality of muscle atrophy and regaining quad strength. ✅ Managing sleep, pain, and daily inconveniences post-surgery. ✅ Overcoming the fear of returning to activity.
