Ligament Injury Rehabilitation
Ligament injuries are one of the most common musculoskeletal injuries, especially among athletes and active individuals. Ligaments are tough bands of fibrous tissue that connect bones to other bones, providing stability to joints. When these ligaments are overstretched or torn, it leads to a condition known as a ligament sprain or tear, which can significantly limit mobility and quality of life.
At GS Physiotherapy & Wellness Clinic in Sector 51, Gurugram, we offer comprehensive physiotherapy for ligament injuries—helping you recover faster, reduce pain, and regain strength and stability in the affected joint.
Common Types of Ligament Injuries:
Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) tear – commonly seen in knee injuries
Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) sprain
Ankle ligament injuries – such as inversion sprains
Wrist ligament sprains – from falls or repetitive stress
Shoulder instability due to ligament laxity
Causes of Ligament Injuries:
Sudden twisting or pivoting movements
Sports injuries or contact sports

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: How long does it take to heal a ligament injury?
A: Recovery time depends on the severity—mild sprains heal in 2–4 weeks, moderate in 4–6 weeks, and severe tears (especially post-surgical) can take 3–6 months.
Q: Can a torn ligament heal without surgery?
A: Many partial tears and sprains heal with physiotherapy and proper rest. Complete tears may require surgical intervention.
