We often take our ankles for granted—until something goes wrong. Whether it’s a misstep on the stairs or a sudden twist during a game, ankle injuries can bring life to a halt.

Recovering from ACL surgery requires a structured rehabilitation process to regain strength, flexibility, and stability in the knee. In this guide, I’ll walk you through five safe and effective knee-strengthening exercises that you can incorporate into your recovery routine.

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the four main ligaments in the knee. It’s located deep within the joint, behind the femur, and in front of the tibia. The ACL connects the femur with the tibia and plays a critical role in keeping these two bones stabilized while a person is moving or jumping. In contact sports such as football, rugby, field hockey, basketball, and ice hockey, players are at risk of sustaining non-contact ACL injuries.
