QUAD LOADING - EARLY STAGE KNEE REHAB

Keep experiencing pain when your trying to load the quads during your knee rehab

The trick is to not just rest every time this happens

What you need to do is modify your exercises so you can actually still load your quads

A few examples of this partial range of motion or isometrics and utilising blood flow restriction

POV: You kept showing up📈

There is no hiding from the fact that coming back from an ACL injury is not easy

It is a journey that is often full of ups and downs

But I truly believe with a good rehab plan, hard work and consistency you can return better

ACL REHAB: Simple Test

This one simple test can give you a lot of information about your quad strength during your ACL Rehab without any fancy equipment!

The split squat… what you want to look for is how the back leg is loading. Particularly on the eccentric phase on the way down

Are we seeing compensation patterns from the trunk coming forward or Turing away from the loaded leg?

Are we struggling to bend and load the knee effectively?

Is the back knee travelling forward rather than straight down?

There is a number of compensation patterns to look out for to offload the knee

This is a simple test that I will often use to see how my clients are going in the early stages

REHAB SHOULDN’T END AT PAIN FREE

Pain-free is only one piece of the puzzle.

Before returning to sport, you need to rebuild the physical and neuromuscular qualities to perform at high intensity again and tolerate it repeatedly

Don’t focus on just getting back. Get ready to perform again
