Knee injury

Asked for Male, 36 Years

I had a knee injury due to a fall 3 days ago. Doctor ruled out fracture as X-ray was OK. No ligament laxity noted. Still the area is swollen. I have been wearing immobiliser braces for the knee. I have problems bending the knee properly. Will physiotherapy help or do I need to rest more?
