Rest
Resting is probably the simplest way to heal an ACL tear. After the surgery, it is advisable to limit your movements and physical activities. When you walk or stand, the weight of the body can put a lot of pressure on your knee, thus slowing down recovery. By sitting down or lying, you can take a significant amount of weight off the affected area. Of course, you may need help and support from a family member or friend to prepare foods or reach for certain items. [4]
