Hello,
As post ACL Reconstruction surgery, most cases are advised to undergo physiotherapy for the better outcome score.
The physiotherapy treatment should focus on the ACL reconstruction rehabilitation and also the sound limb which isn't injured as well.
Post the 8-12 weeks of knee rehabilitation the focus should be directed towards the upper body and other limb to achiever the fitness levels of the body as a whole.
While in rest, there is muscle weakness and this will reduce the joint space and lead to pain. Regaining the muscle strength is of utmost importance post any operation.
In my clinical practice of over 12 years, most ACL reconstruction cases are advised to undergo a knee rehabilitation program and post this a fitness training to have a better outcome score.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
