A member asked:

What are some cardio ideas for acl surgery recovery?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Tracy Berg answered

Specializes in General Surgery

Isometric exercises: During recovery from surgery, start with isometric exercises to accommodate rest/recovery. Follow your surgeons instructions regarding therapy for your knee. At most gyms there are rowing and cycle type machines that work your arms only. Check in with your surgery team and make a follow up appointment.
