Knee ligament injuries are the most common forms of injury for the knee and are the result of a sudden impact or hyper-extending the ligament.

Knee pain is among the most commonly encountered orthopaedic problem. While there are many causes of knee pain, most can be helped with some specific stretching and strengthening exercises.

Even if surgery is necessary on the knee, rehabilitation exercises will certainly be a part of your recovery process.If surgery is necessary, we know that rehab tends to be a smoother process in stronger knees. Patients with stronger muscles around the knee going into surgery have a faster, more successful recovery.

Why Knee Exercises Are a Must:

The goal of knee rehab is twofold. One is to prevent weakening of the muscles that surround the knee. Second is to diminish the burden on the knee joint.
People who have stronger muscles surrounding the knee often have fewer problems with the joint. Weaker muscles create more work for the knee joint by providing less support. Conversely, strong muscles of the leg better support and control the knee joint.

The muscles surrounding the knee include the quadriceps, hamstring, and calf muscles. The focus of most knee rehabilitation is on these muscles.
