A member asked:
I sprained my mcl exactly one week ago. is it to early to start working on knee motion? what steps can i take to rehab my knee?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Knee rehab: Rehab for mcl sprain starts immediately. Controlling swelling and initiating range of motion begin at the onset. Strengthening and gait improvement begins next. Depending on the grade of injury returning to running can be 2 to 6 weeks.
