Can you guys do a pec minor/major strain protocol please🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾? I would really enjoy it been dealing w/ it for months going to PT and it hasn’t got better. I know it’s not a rupture I can do a lot just weakness and nagging irritation. I looked through your videos and couldn’t find anything
Any advice you could give me would be greatly appreciated, I decided to go for a jog and feel like I may not have tore these muscles/ligaments but I definitely injured them in some way. I've exercising regularly but I never built up to the jog and now i'm here. This injury made me wanna look up treatments cause I wanna get back into my cardio but can't even do jumping jacks now, (at least not without pain anymore) and just I want it back. Out of these exercises which would you say is easiest to implement on a busy workout schedule?
The video plus blog post makes me feel like I'm stealing from you guys. I'm a soldier, and recently injured my right knee. A friend of mine (Licensed Physical Therapist) recommended your channel as he said "[E3 Rehab] are the only guys I would trust. The information and rehab progression laid out in the video is invaluable. Thankfully I am quite familiar with all the exercises as I have used them with clients (Certified Personal Trainer); but I have been blessed to never need to use them for rehab purposes (until now). I am indescribably grateful for the knowledge you put forth in the video and blog post, and fully intend to utilize it to the highest possible degree to return to training and continue in my pursuit of my career goals in the Army. Once again, thank you. And God Bless.🇺🇸
@@asoldiersjournal9642 as a server of the u.s., you deserve to be given as much info and help as you can get; I'm glad that this site is helping you; please take full advantage of it and other sites that may help you. God bless you and keep you. Jean
This is my chronic inner knee tenderness and pain, class 1. Waitress in a busy restaurant, 6 hour shifts torquing between narrow tables has caused repetitive strain. I am grateful for this information. Beginning strengthening exercises with self massage.
I play soccer and I watched your hamstring rehab video 3 months ago to recover from back to back hamstring strains. I did everything you said to recover and have strengthened both hamstrings! No more hamstring injuries. I am now back because of a big late tackle knock to my MCL yesterday. Your content is amazing and has helped me recover twice already.
@@edsonbocanegra1672 It's been about 3.5 months since my MCL injury and I'm honestly still not at 100% but I'm back to playing on the field. It took me 6 - 8 weeks to get back to running. Then took about 2 more weeks for me to get back on the field to play soccer.
Thank you so much for posting this - it is by far the best presented and most comprehensive that I have seen. I've been guilty of trying to push too hard too fast and have suffered the resulting setbacks. I've now gone back to basics using this presentation and am already seeing great results. Hopefully I've learned my lesson and only progress to the more advanced stages when ready!
This video is truly incredible, the amount of work that has gone into it with such precise detail and the depths of which you go into the stages of recovery is fantastic. This gives me the hope and confidence I need to fix my knee pain and get back to enjoying the physical activities I like doing! Thanks so much!
Thank you! I have a grade 2 MCL sprain and I used/ am using your protocol. The information is clear and comprehensive and I feel empowered to take care of myself. The progressions are well put together and for me it's been more effective than going to PT and just working out really hard. I did that once and my knee was sore for a week. With this program I feel confident pushing myself and then backing off when I went too far. I train in martial arts and have been on the mat the whole time, varying my training etc. When I go through periods when I feel like it will never heal I think of something one of my training partners told me, assess your healing time by your peers not by anything the doctor or online tells you. I appreciate the up to date information as well, it's hard to find the information and you won't get that from your doctor. One thing that has helped me on top of these recommendations is self-massage of the calves, and quads as well as feet. It's usually the case that when one part of your body is hurt it puts a strain on the rest. Thanks again, I recommend your site to everyone!
Incredible. You can professionally recover from injuries by watching these videos. I'm a personal trainer, partially raptured my mcl and these video are goldmine of physiotherapy! Thank you
Thank you for this great video. A few years ago, I was walking my rottweiler and she wanted to go left (our usual route) when I wanted to go right. She plowed into my knee. After several weeks of therapy, I was fine and never any other problems. Fast forward to about a month ago and I have no idea what I did, but got up one morning and could barely walk. It's definitely my MCL and I've been doing minor things for it, but it's been going back and forth - I'll feel fine for a couple days then terrible again. I can't find my therapy printouts. Your video is the best thing I've found so far. Can't wait to get started on everything you're teaching us here.
Your videos are really so knowledgeable, myself being a Practicing MSK Physiotherapist for more than 3 years, everytime I see a case I make sure that I see your videos to give my patient the best exercise program. Keep doing the hard work to put such a great Content out. Really helpful and grateful to you.
I jumped up weight too quickly doing barbell squats and went to far down and pulled something on my knee on the way up, the range of exercises and guidance is amazing thanks 👍
i was squatting like warmup sets i went a little deep and my knee made a huge popping sound its been 10 days and there is no pain but discomfort when sitting down or squatting even my body weight. it feels like something will come out.
Thank you so much. Eternally grateful. Went flying onto the ground and landed on the side of my knee. This video has given me so much hope after 2 weeks of pain THANKS ❤
Thank you for explaining the mechanics of the damage. I really like that you have so many different options as well. Means I can start some basic rehab while I wait for my doctors appointment. I've been doing some of the basic exercises anyway, which shows I'm ready to start to rehab! Thanks again.
The best of all the videos I've searched so far after my knee injury. Infinite gratitude and respect to all the people who worked to make this video and the hard work and time they devoted to it!
Thanks for this excellent video. You help me to recover soon. In these times , everything is appointments a week or two weeks waiting. Time is essential for recovery. Thanks for all the exercises in detail. Life bless you.
Damaged mine at my MMA club. I tried a new kick and didn't rotate properly, thought i broke it out of place at first and found myself on the floor. Doctors have checked and should be all good as long as i do exercises on it. Thanks for these!!!
Excellent walk through on MCL rehab. Injured a few days ago skiing. Now need to get imaging and start this program. Thank you for providing this video.
How was yours ? I’m exactly the same boat. Injury happened exactly two weeks ago and I’m getting imaging on Tuesday. I’m so nervous because my symptoms are more like grade 2 mcl but I’m so confused 😢
EXCELLENT VIDEO!!!! Simple but detailed! Small town doctors not doing anything, so had to research myself! THIS IS A COMPLETE OVERVIEW AND SET OF EXERCISES FOR HEELING - FROM REDUCING PAIN UP TO LATER STRENGTHENING!... DON'T BE OVER-WHELMED... START AT SIMPLE AND WORK UP!!! Doctors just told me "You're getting old" & gave me no heeling advice, just take pills... pain decreased but still lasted a year and is annoying. These exercises will help!!!!!!!
I've luckily been able to diagnose all the injuries I've ever had. I just start searching charts for where pain is and what may cause it. The descriptions are fairly easy to line up with my symptoms. I was foil surfing and was gonna twist and crank a turn. Someone was going for a wave and I stomped on my front foot to force a crash and bail out of it. The twisting motion and bending my knee most likely caused a mcl sprain. This video is awesome for helping relieve some pain. But obviously the help from medical professionals is always best as they can do diagnosis and treatment (supposedly). I've repeatedly had to tell medical they are wrong or that their treatment is useless. (I had a swollen bursal sac and they told me to stretch and take ibuprofen) Stretching would possibly burst the sac. Ibuprofen does nothing. I did research on the internet and went to a different doctor and they gave me arthritis cream. It can take a whole day to get treatment with military healthcare. But with this video, I've got some solid treatment options from the comfort of my desk.
Amazing video ! Theory, levels, exercises. The levels are helping me not only to increase the Quadriceps volume of my injured knee but also to get back the confidence I lost after my MCL injury. Best vibes!!!
I recently hurt my hamstring and MCL. Hamstring has been almost healed up but MCL healing is slow and goining up and down. Without out much rehab exercise knowledge, I resorted on many different information sources. However, I have never seen anything this systematic and thorough. I am starting this right now. Thanks for sharing the invaluable information.
Plastic body had a small chip when th-cam.com/users/postUgkxUHHotQRjIQnfuxEeVotlkHVYWH0DXZoS I opened from box- would have sent back but it works well- using for warming up before exercising from full knee replacement- also use several times during day to keep movement easy. Sturdy, easy to use, easy to assemble (instructions didn’t match but easy to put together). Getting the same movement as the warm up bike at PT. Would suggest to order before surgery so you have it home ready to use when you can!!! Doesn’t take up a lot of space-not heavy so easy to move- not using for arms but I think it would work just as well
Thanks man! Just what I was looking for. I have been humbled and was definitely rushing some exercises. I have been running before I can even do a proper Copenhagen side plank. Thanks a bunch!
Thanks this explains how to help myself to recovery as my physio appointments are 2-4weeks apart and I’m never too sure where I should be now! Also if I’m not pushing myself enough- this has confirmed that I’m perhaps trying to do too much regarding walking as I end up with swelling and pain even walking with crutches. Well explained, easy to follow exercises- thanks
I've been running through a load of junk with insurance and incompetent communication from one set of medical staff to another since July. It is now November and i still don't have a physical therapist (5 months and counting). I'm using this, hopefully I'm recovered by the time a therapist is available.
Thank you! The information you gave was very educational and helpful. I held no hope of being able to run again, but given this information with the progressions and the levels of criteria to be met, I am confident that there is much more mobility to be regained. God bless.
This video was complete. I had a medial knee injury a year back. Your information about getting back into hill running would have been very useful, although I can use the methods now. Thank You for sharing your skills.
I have a grade 1 or 2 mcl sprain, I can already preform all of the early stage exercises without pain and some of the mid stage without pain, so I’ll be continuing on mid stage and working my way up, I’ve had this for a couple weeks now so I’m just hoping it heals quickly before my state soccer game
❤ your videos are really good thank you you just let me know that my tibia malfunction now belongs with my knee. Thank you though I need to know so I can work on stuff.
Thanks for the comprehensive video. I have a grade 2 MCL sprain and am trying to see if I can avoid expensive sports PT with these videos. My main question is that if I can already walk normally, can I just skip to the Mid-stage Exercises?
i injured myself on December 8th during a football game where i got tackled by the goalkeeper. i partially tore my MCL and also received a rare hoffa fracture. i can only bend my knee to around 95-100 degrees now
Mcl area hurting after sprawls in bjj, dang it. Not as bad as yesterday, just hoping for a sprain in my 42yo knee. Favoriting this to work on it 🙏🏼 thank you
The best complete video on MCL tear. Mine was a complete tear in FEB 2023. Get your knee scanned by MRI to know the severity (its worth the money). Once you get your specialists opinion start the rehab program. These excersises and the progression makes so much sense as my program from a physiotherapist is very similar. This is what I am doing and after just 2 weeks of the early stage, I see a huge difference. Very Good video! Thanks! Keep at it folks! Don't give up!
Hey there, hope that you are doing a great recovery, I believe that my case will also be most probably a complete tear, waiting for the MRI to return, Can you please describe your early stage symptoms and pain that you experienced, also what procedure did you undergo? As in a surgery or just the physio was enough?
@@yashpadia1215 Two possible tears 1. upper femur (no surgery and physio) 2. Tibia (surgery and physio). Beginning was swelling and any side movement was painful for 1full month. The second month was putting some pressure and getting back mobility because my knee wouldnt flex and unflex completely. Now im walking with a hinged knee brace and im at 50% there to finding my initial condition. 6 month process and I beleive it now!
Thanks, searched for a high quality definitive resource on an MCL injury and what's involved in recovery. This video has it all, informative and gives you an idea of what's required to recover plus the different exercises to try with or without equipment. Thanks 🙏
I had got MCL tear my doctor said. I had now lost 3cm of my thigh gorth due to knee immobilization now i can walk but my pace has gone and little limping is there ..after changing brace this was my 2 nd month of recovery. By the time i had taken MRI but there is no issues rather than low grade injury of meniscus.😊 I want to be back to my old life to be socialized and all. Wish me luck❤
I did flooring for almost a year, ended up quiting bc of this mcl injury, flooring is not it, unless you don't care about your knees l, stay away from flooring, worse trade I've ever done, and I am a very fit person, very healthy and active, flooring has taken that from me. But I am getting it back over time it's been three months and I'm just now finding out this is my issue so hopefully I'll be back at it soon. I have pain whenever I do anything that requires bending the knee or putting weight on it
This was pretty good. Not all injuries are sports related. Injuries happen during work too. Sometimes suddenly and inexplicably. Getting back to work or normal, comfortable mobility is more urgent than return to play ( yes, some sports are work for the professional athletes out there. I get it) The video didn't identify the joint subject to rehab. I couldn't tell if you were treating the left or right knee and which knee should be where and how it should move. You could just do both on spec I guess but for focused rehab that's confusing. I'll pass this on to my personal trainer for review and possible integration to my routine. It's the sudden onset of pain that's worse. Totally normal, active and pain free then wham ..limping. Still trying to find the trigger.
i’m a soccer player and 27 y/o. i just started playing again after 6 years. been going to the gym for a bit and haven’t had any pain. as soon as i started running i had immediate pain on the inside of both knees and ankles. they just couldn’t take the impact of running (especially sprinting) it makes me run on my heels and i’m incredibly slow now. i only have pain when i run. i can still do leg day and walk around with no problem. not sure what my issue is
also upon saying this, i do can calf raises and jumps with no issues. as soon as i try to do a single leg jump i also collapse when landing because of the pain in my ankle and knee
@@mirek190 i’m a bit underweight. i’m 6ft and weigh 146 lbs. that’s not an issue and like i said, i still do legs at the gym with no issue. think i have an MCL strain
Tendons and ligaments have strength to match your most demanding activity, and take weeks to catch up to higher demands because they receive less blood flow and beef up more slowly than muscle. After you stopped playing, your ligaments chilled out to match your most demanding activity (whatever that was, possibly just walking?), but now that you asked much more of them again (running and single leg bearing) they needed time to catch up in strength. I know your comment is old but I hope you’re doing okay ❤
I had knee pain and didn't know why. I went to my doctor and it took two months because he wasn't available. I finally saw another doctor in the same practice and he claimed it was sciatica without even examining me. Wasted another month with PT for sciatica. Finally saw a nurse practitioner and she got me x-rays and ultrasound, which showed the torn MCL and torn meniscus. They finally started me on PT for the knee injuries 5 months after I first went to them. In the meantime I've got to the stage where my walking is awkward and my legs are embarassingly weak. If you think there is something wrong, seek out an orthopedic specialist immediately.
All it took was a single game of football (soccer) in the rain on wet grass without proper shoes... :/ Gladly my injury isn't too severe (grade 1 / 2) and I can still walk normally but running or squating definitely causes pain in my knees at the moment. It's been a bit more than a week since the event I'm now starting with the early-stage exercises. Thank you @E3 Rehab for making these videos! I wish all of you a good recovery.
Thank you so much 🙏 had a fall rock climbing, knee hyperextended and pops heard. Dr said there is an mcl component but no mri yet. Wearing a hinged brace at 1 week in. Guessing its a tear but no idea how bad. Today was the 1st day i didnt need crutches. Been just trying to straighten n bend my knee so i dont lose rom. Gonna do exercises to normalize walking again. I live to ride my bike and dance so hoping for a full recovery
going great@@JuanGarcia-vc9xr . been in rehab for several weeks now. back to squatting and deadlifting, almost 100 percent full rom back. left quad is at 80 percent compared to uninjured side (based on knee extension 1rm testing). starting to run in water to prep for running again. been biking almost the whole time. stairs and walking no problem.
So it sounds like my injury is a grade 1/2… I can walk with no limp only feeling it slightly. I can squat and lunge with weight no problem, in fact it always feels better after leg day. I feel it when I squat down completely, with glutes against calves. Some days are worse than others, but it can be a bit uncomfortable straightening the leg… Thanks for the video, I will incorporate some of these exercises that I am not already doing 👍🏻

Since tearing my mcl I have literally watched every video pertaining to mcl, meniscus, knees etc... This is by far the best video.
This is the first one I’ve seen and I’m satisfied already

oh yeah, this one is absolutely by far is the most comprehensive material. Thank you very much!!!
By far the best video for an athlete to rehab at home. So thankful I found this!
Did you get it surgically repaired? I'm starting to think I tore mine worse than I thought.
15:15 squat progression
15:49 Copenhagen plank progression
16:56 dynamic balance

Well explained, easy to follow exercises- thanks
Thanks
Thank you!
I've been running through a load of junk with insurance and incompetent communication from one set of medical staff to another since July. It is now November and i still don't have a physical therapist (5 months and counting). I'm using this, hopefully I'm recovered by the time a therapist is available.
This is literally the best informative video I’ve ever watched! THANK YOUU 💯
Wow, this is incredibly thorough. Hats off. Thank you so much
Thank you! The information you gave was very educational and helpful. I held no hope of being able to run again, but given this information with the progressions and the levels of criteria to be met, I am confident that there is much more mobility to be regained. God bless.
Great video. I hope these tips help fixing my knee. Do you have the list of exercises as a .pdf? Thanks
My exact injury. Thanks for posting this video
This video is extraordinary, thank you for the effort you made and all for free!
This is exactly what i'm feeling right now 😭, I feel depressed when I'm inactive with my usual sports activities. Thank you so much.
This video was complete. I had a medial knee injury a year back. Your information about getting back into hill running would have been very useful, although I can use the methods now. Thank You for sharing your skills.
How Long it took you to heal your mcl
This is great. I feel like I should be paying you. Thank you so much for this detailed video.
I have a grade 1 or 2 mcl sprain, I can already preform all of the early stage exercises without pain and some of the mid stage without pain, so I’ll be continuing on mid stage and working my way up, I’ve had this for a couple weeks now so I’m just hoping it heals quickly before my state soccer game
Did it work? U take ibuprofen?
❤ your videos are really good thank you you just let me know that my tibia malfunction now belongs with my knee. Thank you though I need to know so I can work on stuff.
Thank u so much , very useful, easy understandable, With nice explanation, thanks a lot
Keep doing this pleas..
Very informative video. Thanks a lot and Ii will be using these to workout at home and heal my knee.
Thanks for the comprehensive video. I have a grade 2 MCL sprain and am trying to see if I can avoid expensive sports PT with these videos. My main question is that if I can already walk normally, can I just skip to the Mid-stage Exercises?
Just went to the doctor today. MCL tear wirh hanging fragments. Fantastic video.
Hello! How is your recovery from your injury?
I also had an MCL injury, I feel my knee moving out of place
What a great job you made. You deserve more views.
the best rehab video I have seen. have you video for lateral knee ligaments rehab. John
i injured myself on December 8th during a football game where i got tackled by the goalkeeper. i partially tore my MCL and also received a rare hoffa fracture. i can only bend my knee to around 95-100 degrees now
Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
Mcl area hurting after sprawls in bjj, dang it. Not as bad as yesterday, just hoping for a sprain in my 42yo knee. Favoriting this to work on it 🙏🏼 thank you
The best complete video on MCL tear. Mine was a complete tear in FEB 2023. Get your knee scanned by MRI to know the severity (its worth the money). Once you get your specialists opinion start the rehab program. These excersises and the progression makes so much sense as my program from a physiotherapist is very similar. This is what I am doing and after just 2 weeks of the early stage, I see a huge difference. Very Good video! Thanks! Keep at it folks! Don't give up!
Hey there, hope that you are doing a great recovery, I believe that my case will also be most probably a complete tear, waiting for the MRI to return, Can you please describe your early stage symptoms and pain that you experienced, also what procedure did you undergo? As in a surgery or just the physio was enough?
@@yashpadia1215 Two possible tears 1. upper femur (no surgery and physio) 2. Tibia (surgery and physio). Beginning was swelling and any side movement was painful for 1full month. The second month was putting some pressure and getting back mobility because my knee wouldnt flex and unflex completely. Now im walking with a hinged knee brace and im at 50% there to finding my initial condition. 6 month process and I beleive it now!
@@jasonhendren3087 Thank you so much for such an elaborate answer, this helps a lot. Wishing you a quick recovery 👍
Thanks, searched for a high quality definitive resource on an MCL injury and what's involved in recovery. This video has it all, informative and gives you an idea of what's required to recover plus the different exercises to try with or without equipment. Thanks 🙏
Hi nicholas i also have ghis mcl injury 5 days ago so can you tell me how are you progressing
I will try this exercise I have knee pain after playing football thank u sir ❤
I had got MCL tear my doctor said. I had now lost 3cm of my thigh gorth due to knee immobilization now i can walk but my pace has gone and little limping is there ..after changing brace this was my 2 nd month of recovery. By the time i had taken MRI but there is no issues rather than low grade injury of meniscus.😊 I want to be back to my old life to be socialized and all. Wish me luck❤
🙏🏼
I did flooring for almost a year, ended up quiting bc of this mcl injury, flooring is not it, unless you don't care about your knees l, stay away from flooring, worse trade I've ever done, and I am a very fit person, very healthy and active, flooring has taken that from me. But I am getting it back over time it's been three months and I'm just now finding out this is my issue so hopefully I'll be back at it soon. I have pain whenever I do anything that requires bending the knee or putting weight on it
thank you for this video! very helpful for an injury i got while dirtbiking and glad to have a guide to rehab so i don’t see myself back even further
This was pretty good.
Not all injuries are sports related. Injuries happen during work too. Sometimes suddenly and inexplicably.
Getting back to work or normal, comfortable mobility is more urgent than return to play ( yes, some sports are work for the professional athletes out there. I get it)
The video didn't identify the joint subject to rehab. I couldn't tell if you were treating the left or right knee and which knee should be where and how it should move. You could just do both on spec I guess but for focused rehab that's confusing.
I'll pass this on to my personal trainer for review and possible integration to my routine.
It's the sudden onset of pain that's worse. Totally normal, active and pain free then wham ..limping. Still trying to find the trigger.
i’m a soccer player and 27 y/o. i just started playing again after 6 years. been going to the gym for a bit and haven’t had any pain. as soon as i started running i had immediate pain on the inside of both knees and ankles. they just couldn’t take the impact of running (especially sprinting) it makes me run on my heels and i’m incredibly slow now. i only have pain when i run. i can still do leg day and walk around with no problem. not sure what my issue is
also upon saying this, i do can calf raises and jumps with no issues. as soon as i try to do a single leg jump i also collapse when landing because of the pain in my ankle and knee
@@cenzo_ct ....of well better diet , loose weight and train leg mussels ;)
@@mirek190 i’m a bit underweight. i’m 6ft and weigh 146 lbs. that’s not an issue and like i said, i still do legs at the gym with no issue. think i have an MCL strain
kneesovertoes....youtube
Tendons and ligaments have strength to match your most demanding activity, and take weeks to catch up to higher demands because they receive less blood flow and beef up more slowly than muscle. After you stopped playing, your ligaments chilled out to match your most demanding activity (whatever that was, possibly just walking?), but now that you asked much more of them again (running and single leg bearing) they needed time to catch up in strength.
I know your comment is old but I hope you’re doing okay ❤
I wish I'd seen this video much earlier, I did a few mistakes which you pointed in this video, my knee hurts now, I need to start slow.
Thank you for sharing these great exercises 👍
I had knee pain and didn't know why. I went to my doctor and it took two months because he wasn't available. I finally saw another doctor in the same practice and he claimed it was sciatica without even examining me. Wasted another month with PT for sciatica. Finally saw a nurse practitioner and she got me x-rays and ultrasound, which showed the torn MCL and torn meniscus. They finally started me on PT for the knee injuries 5 months after I first went to them. In the meantime I've got to the stage where my walking is awkward and my legs are embarassingly weak. If you think there is something wrong, seek out an orthopedic specialist immediately.
Now that is proper content, you have a new subscriber!! My dodgy right knee sends his thanks!
All it took was a single game of football (soccer) in the rain on wet grass without proper shoes... :/
Gladly my injury isn't too severe (grade 1 / 2) and I can still walk normally but running or squating definitely causes pain in my knees at the moment. It's been a bit more than a week since the event I'm now starting with the early-stage exercises. Thank you @E3 Rehab for making these videos!
I wish all of you a good recovery.
What is happening to me right now
@@AKAJJ go to the doctor bro
Same here brother
@@jacksonbarker9343 I did they said they can't do any thing about it and the surgery could be dangerous
How's you now? update
This is fantastic! Thank you!
May GOD JESUS CHRIST bless you brothers you guyz are doing great for everyone !
This is so so good. Thank you so much for putting all this together and making it so easy to understand.
Thank you so much for providing amazing content that share great insight!
Thank you so much 🙏 had a fall rock climbing, knee hyperextended and pops heard. Dr said there is an mcl component but no mri yet. Wearing a hinged brace at 1 week in. Guessing its a tear but no idea how bad. Today was the 1st day i didnt need crutches. Been just trying to straighten n bend my knee so i dont lose rom. Gonna do exercises to normalize walking again. I live to ride my bike and dance so hoping for a full recovery
How’s it going now with your knee?
going great@@JuanGarcia-vc9xr . been in rehab for several weeks now. back to squatting and deadlifting, almost 100 percent full rom back. left quad is at 80 percent compared to uninjured side (based on knee extension 1rm testing). starting to run in water to prep for running again. been biking almost the whole time. stairs and walking no problem.
@@felix5287are you completely okay now?
I really like how you systematically structure the videos.
I feel personally attacked at the opening of the Copenhagen Plank 😂 15:50
Videos are god sent man, good stuff
Injured MCL after falling sideways while riding an electric scooter. Will try these exercises
Thank you for this video, it’s brilliant and gives me a complete program to work through.
Simply an excellent video. Great information and well presented. Thank you.
great video , injured knee skiing and just starting with flexion/extension exercises but like the progression videos, very complete. Thank you!
Just what I was looking for. Excellent video, thank you so much and keep up the great work. Cheers!
Was at the dog park and two dogs playing ran into my left leg and knocked me over. I think my injury matches the description in this video.
So it sounds like my injury is a grade 1/2… I can walk with no limp only feeling it slightly. I can squat and lunge with weight no problem, in fact it always feels better after leg day. I feel it when I squat down completely, with glutes against calves. Some days are worse than others, but it can be a bit uncomfortable straightening the leg… Thanks for the video, I will incorporate some of these exercises that I am not already doing 👍🏻
Thanks!
