What's your best treatment for injuries like torn ligaments?

I would not even do yoga that is going to upset that area. For example - if you have a torn knee ligament, just do poses that won't compromise you but will strengthen your knee. Do Warrior 2 or Warrior I. Take out half or full lotus or certain deep twists that might compromise the knee.

Thanks... I've been using ice packs/hot towels and various natural therapies like arnica oil and menthol which have been helpful. Time is still the best healer it seems

Yes, time is the best healer. I had torn ligaments before and it takes a while to heal, for sure.
