Returning to sport too early is the single most common reason injuries repeat. Pain usually settles before strength does, and that gap is where re-injury happens. Fzt. Kemran Hafız bases the decision to return on measurement rather than on the calendar.
About your physiotherapist
Fzt. Kemran Hafız provides one-to-one care for sports rehab at the clinic in Bursa Nilüfer — in Fethiye Mahallesi, on Kelebek Sokak, at a central point of Nilüfer, opposite the Fethiye covered market.
It is a short trip by car or public transport from İhsaniye, Odunluk, Balat, Özlüce, Ataevler, 23 Nisan and the surrounding areas. Every session is one-to-one, assessment-based and tailored to you.
Two athletes with the same injury rarely recover at the same rate. Returning on a fixed date ignores that difference; returning on measured criteria does not.
Typical criteria include the strength difference between sides, hop and balance tests, and pain-free performance of the movements the sport demands.
The strongest predictor of a new injury is a previous injury in the same area. The final phase of the programme is therefore preventive: hamstring and hip strength, trunk control and landing technique.

Not always. Imaging is useful when it will change the plan. Bring any reports you have to the assessment.
Yes. Training load and rehabilitation load need to be planned together, and that works best with direct contact.
The full ACL pathway: preparation before surgery through to a measured, test-based return to sport.
A measurement-based, one-to-one strength and conditioning programme supervised by a physiotherapist.
For meniscus tears, with or without surgery: graded rehabilitation that makes the knee trustworthy again.
Sport and Strength
With a meniscus tear, "surgery right away" is usually the first thing that comes to mind. But not every tear needs surgery; rehabilitation is the first choice in most conditions.

With an ACL tear, what decides the outcome is the rehabilitation that follows, as much as the tear itself.

Muscle mass falls by 3–8% per decade after the age of 30. Strength training is the only intervention that halts that loss — and it concerns everyone, not just athletes.
