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.
This is the next progression. More focus is given to progressive loading of the knee as well as proprioception (perception or awareness of the position and movement of the body) and stability exercise. As with the early programme, some pain is to be expected but ideally, we do not want this to be any more than 3 out of 10.
This phase looks to incorporate more challenging strength and movement-based exercises to try and progress the function of the knee and help towards a return to activity. This should not exceed more than 3/10 on your perceived pain scale.
