My left knee ACL was replaced with a graft during surgery 4 months ago but I still don't have full extension in my knee. What exercises or suggestions do you have to help improve my range of motion?

To regain full knee extension after ACL reconstruction surgery, focusing on specific exercises and stretches, alongside proper rehabilitation, is crucial. Heel slides, quad sets, and hamstring stretches are particularly helpful. Gentle, controlled movement and pain management are key to safely increasing range of motion
