Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL) Injury Advanced Exercise Programme

We recommend consulting a musculoskeletal physiotherapist to ensure exercises are best suited to your recovery. If you are carrying out an exercise regime without consulting a healthcare professional, you do so at your own risk. If you have any concerns whilst completing these exercises, please contact a healthcare professional.

Early Exercise plan

This programme focuses on maintaining a range of movement within the knee, appropriate activation of quadriceps muscle and maintenance of lower limb strength and stability. We suggest you carry this out once a day for approximately 2-3 weeks as pain allows. This should not exceed more than 3/10 on your perceived pain scale.
