MCL Tear - 4 Exercises to Rehab Your Knee

Today's video covers rehab exercises for a sprain or tear of the MCL (medial collateral ligament), which is located on the inside of the knee and connects the thigh bone (femur) to one of the bones of the lower leg (tibia).

This ligament can be stretched and/or torn when the knee undergoes stress that pushes the knee inward (valgus stress), which is more common in certain sports including: hockey, football and soccer. Common symptoms include pain and swelling at the inside of the knee and a potential feeling of instability with certain movements.

Rehab from this condition should focus on regaining mobility (flexion and extension) initially and then transition to strength and movement control exercises designed to protect the medial joint line. If you have experienced this injury, give these exercises a try.
