FAQs — Soccer Injuries in Dundas
How long does ACL recovery take for a soccer player?
ACL reconstruction rehabilitation typically takes 9–12 months for return to full soccer activity. The first 3 months focus on swelling control and range of motion. Months 3–6 focus on strength. Months 6–9 are sport-specific training. Return-to-play testing (hop tests, strength ratios) should be passed before returning to competitive play.
Are ankle sprains serious enough to need physiotherapy?
Yes — even mild ankle sprains benefit from physiotherapy. Without proper proprioception retraining, 40–70% of ankle sprains lead to chronic ankle instability and re-injury. A physio will restore balance, strength, and joint position sense so you can return to soccer without ongoing instability.
Why are ACL tears more common in female soccer players?
Female athletes have a 2–8x higher ACL tear rate in soccer due to a combination of anatomical factors (wider pelvis, greater knee valgus), hormonal influences on ligament laxity, and biomechanical differences in landing and cutting mechanics. Canadian sports physios experienced with female athletes can also teach preventive movement patterns to reduce ACL risk.
