A member asked:
What are some leg exercises for ligament tears?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rehab: In most cases rehabilitative exercises for patients with ligament tears focus on the surrounding muscaluture. Strengthening the surrounding muscles will help them compensate for the ligament tear, but you should still see a physician to help determine the extent of your ligament damage, and whether therapy or surgery will help you the most.
