I've been diagnosed with a low-grade partial ACL tear and I'm wondering if physiotherapy alone can help it heal without affecting my daily routine or sports. Is it safe to skip surgery, or will I run into problems later? I really don't want any future issues that could disrupt my life can I manage this without surgery and still live normally? What's the best option for me?

Had ACL surgery back in December 2017 and wondering if it's okay to start heat therapy on it now? Not sure if it's too late or if it'll still help with any lingering stiffness or discomfort. What do you think?
