Let’s get started—your knees are worth it!

Regarding knees, I always think of them as the body's unsung heroes. They don’t get a lot of glory, but let’s face it—if your knees aren’t happy, you’re not going anywhere fast. Whether climbing stairs, chasing your kids, or busting a move on the dance floor, your knees (and their trusty ligaments) quietly do all the heavy lifting.

An anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury can end seasons, wreck careers, and leave you facing ACL surgery or months of grueling rehab. Whether you’re an athlete, a weekend warrior, or just someone who wants strong, pain-free knees, ACL injury prevention exercises are a game-changer.

An ACL tear, or anterior cruciate ligament tear, is a common knee injury where the ligament is partially or completely torn. It often occurs during sports or activities that involve sudden stops, jumping, or changes in direction. Symptoms include a "popping" sound, knee pain, swelling, and instability. Treatment can range from physical therapy to surgery, depending on the severity and individual needs. Recovery focuses on restoring strength, stability, and full function of the knee, often requiring several months.

If you have torn your ACL and meniscus more than once, you may be advised to “take it easy” when exercising because vigorous exercise will increase your risk of tearing them again. This is not true. Yes, exercising excessively may cause more ligament tears. But a person with torn ligaments in their knee may not.
