hi there is there any exercise i can do with an acl tear. i have an acl tear dont want to get surgery just yet is there a way i can strengthen my other muscles so i dont have to do the surgery, please help

@facethedefeat Hiya. You'll have to be very careful if you've got a tear, but there's no reason you can't start with some basic strengthening exercises of the muscles around the knee. As I've said before, pain/discomfort should be your guide as to how much and what you can do. Check out some of the other videos in this series, start with number one, and build up as you feel fit.

i had patellar dislocation would u recommnd me doing this like  asap or get doctor clearence first\

[MarkOneFitness]

@ElSilverback28 It'd be worth getting clearance first. Don't want to do any more damage. He'll probably tell you to rest and take pain killers, but I'm not qualified to tell you to go ahead with it! If he/she ok's light exercise, then start with the basics and see how it feels.

I strained my knee about 10 days ago is it safe-ish to do this yet ? 

[MarkOneFitness]

@bollipopman It all depends on your individual recovery time. Avoid anything that hurts, but if any swelling has gone down and you can do it without pain, it should only help... Only you can judge it though. Just don't over-do it.

@GanzLONDON

Hiya. Aim for 2-3 times clockwise and anti-clockwise per leg. That should be enough to get the benefits.

And you'll be fine to do it daily. The more often you do it, the quicker the results.

@153Rocko I understand your concern, but you cannot strengthen the knee without placing it under stress. This is an unweighted exercise, and as I said - if you feel any pain, stop; start small and build up.

If you avoid working any positions (with any joint) then you're setting yourself up for injury. If the joint is comfortable and strong in a position, it's far less likely to get injured during activity when it gets put in that position.

thanks for this! i've recently started running (from never running at all before) and have realized that my knees are fairly weak. great to know there's something i can do about it!

kinda cool thx

@MarkOneFitness I agree with pignabj. I am an exercise physiology major who has always had knee problems. This exercise is very good for strengthening the knee, but if your knee comes over your toe at all it is counterproductive. You may be strengthening the muscles, but you are also causing tibial translation which can make certain knee injuries worse. I highly recommend emphasizing that people keep their knee in line with their toe. This way, you get the strengthening without the damage

Well i did try it today, just without leaning so far forward and it didnt hurt at-all so im guessing it could only of helped :) cheers .
