By keeping the knee in a controlled, braced position, this protocol supports ligament recovery while you undergo structured rehabilitation under expert guidance. This non-surgical approach has shown promising results for select ACL injury cases.

Who is Eligible for Cross Bracing for ACL Injuries in Newcastle?

Not all ACL injuries are the same, and eligibility for Cross Bracing for ACL recovery depends on multiple factors, such as:

  • Timing of injury – Early assessment is essential for the best chance of success.

  • Location and severity of the ACL rupture.

  • Presence of additional knee injuries or complications.

  • Age, activity level, and personal recovery goals.

Why Choose Cross Bracing for ACL Recovery in Newcastle?

One key point of difference in our approach is that we directly collaborate with Dr. Tom Cross, a leading researcher in Cross Bracing, and Dr. Luke Dan, a GP currently training to become a sports physician. This collaboration ensures that our patients receive the most up-to-date, research-backed treatment plans, guided by experts at the forefront of ACL rehabilitation.

Additionally, we provide same or next-day access to MRI scans. If you meet the Medicare criteria, your MRI may be gap-free, or you can access scans at a discounted rate if you do not qualify. This ensures a quick and accurate diagnosis, allowing you to start your recovery journey without unnecessary delays.
