Five-star reviews on Google across all 8 SWITCH clinics
An ACL injury can feel like the end of your season, but with the right rehab most people return to the sport and activities they love. Whether you’re heading for surgery or managing it without, our physiotherapists guide you through every stage of recovery.
It’s one of many conditions we treat as part of our wider pain treatment approach across Sydney.
Every SWITCH session combines hands-on manual therapy with a personalised exercise program. We treat what is actually causing the pain, not just where you feel it. The assessment is the foundation of everything that follows, so you know exactly what is being treated and why.
SWITCH has been treating Sydney patients for over 10 years. We are a locally-owned, locally-run physiotherapy group with deep roots in the communities each of our 8 clinics serves. Thousands of patients trust SWITCH every year for the kind of care that actually fixes the problem.
No GP referral needed. You can book an initial assessment directly with SWITCH and start treatment the same week. Every injury and recovery timeline is different, but our goal is to help you get back to running, lifting, working or playing sooner.
After your first appointment you will know exactly what your physio thinks is going on, what the treatment journey looks like, and how many sessions to expect. No vague answers, no open-ended commitments. A clear plan from session one.
Early-morning, all-day and late-evening appointments at every SWITCH clinic. Same-week and often same-day availability across the network. Online booking 24/7 at weareswitch.com.au, so you can lock in a time when it suits you.
Penshurst, Maroubra, Concord, Lane Cove, Rouse Hill, Menai, Gladesville and Strathfield. The same standard of care across every location, so you can book wherever fits your day. Treatment notes follow you between clinics if you ever need to switch.
Every SWITCH practitioner is registered with Ahpra and the Physiotherapy Board of Australia. Verify any registration at ahpra.gov.au.
Not always. Some people return to demanding sport after a complete rupture with a structured rehab program alone, while others choose reconstruction, especially for high-level pivoting sports or if the knee keeps giving way. The best path depends on your knee, your goals and how it responds to loading. A thorough assessment helps you make an informed decision alongside your surgeon and physio.
Recovery is measured in months rather than weeks, because the ligament or graft needs time to heal and the surrounding muscles need to be rebuilt. Returning to pivoting sport after a reconstruction commonly takes around nine to twelve months, guided by your progress and return-to-sport testing rather than the calendar alone.
Physiotherapy can't repair a torn ligament, but for many people a strong, well-controlled knee functions well without surgery. A targeted strengthening and neuromuscular program can restore stability and get you back to a lot of activities. Whether that's enough depends on your knee and the demands you want to place on it.
Yes. Going into surgery with a knee that moves well and strong quadriceps, often called prehab, is one of the best predictors of a smooth recovery. We help you reduce swelling, restore movement and build strength before your operation.
Return to sport is based on meeting strength, control and movement targets, not just time. We use objective testing that compares your injured and uninjured legs, so you go back when your knee is genuinely ready, which lowers the risk of re-injury.
No, you can book directly. If you're coming through Medicare, a workers compensation claim or after surgery, bring any relevant scans or referrals so we can tailor your plan.
