Physiotherapy for a Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL) injury



LCL injuries typically occur during sporting activities when too much force is placed on the inside of the knee causing the fibres in the ligament to tear. Physiotherapy treatment at Manchester Physio will get you started on the right activities at the right time following a lateral collateral ligament (LCL) injury, to promote healing and facilitate recovery as quick as possible.

Benefits of physiotherapy treatment at Manchester Physio include:
  • Relieving pain
  • Reducing swelling
  • Restoring and improving range of movement and muscle strength
  • Enhancing balance
  • Improving coordination
  • Facilitating return to sport

Your physiotherapy program at Manchester Physio will restore strength, stability and range of movement through a combination of electrotherapy, hand on techniques and exercise. An initial assessment with one of our specialised physiotherapists will look at your current level of function, in order to develop an individualised treatment program which may include:
  • Electrotherapy to facilitate healing and reduce pain and swelling
  • Deep tissue friction and soft tissue massage to improve circulation and enhance healing
  • Progressive exercise program to stretch and strengthen the muscles surrounding the joint, improving control and stability
  • Balance training to maximise function and prevent re-injury
  • Activities based around everyday tasks
  • Exercises tailored to your sport to facilitate recovery and improve aerobic fitness
Our specialised musculoskeletal physiotherapists at Manchester Physio will ensure you get the most out of your treatment and return to your normal sporting activities as soon as possible, by setting short and long term treatment goals tailored to you.
