Every year, more than 150,000 people tear their Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL). While most of these tears need to be corrected surgically, there are a small fraction of people who can treat their tears with physical therapy and yoga moves.

Here are just five of the exercises that may be able to help you with your torn ACL.

1. Bridge with Leg Lift

2. Child’s Pose

3. Moving High Lunge

4. Tree Pose

5. Moving Warrior 2
