 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi,
I have injured my knee recently, diagnosed with constanlty strained cruciates, and previously dislocated my left knee.
Does anybody have any tried and tested techniques to try prior to venturing to Solden for the season.
Any help would be great and if you need any more info about me to help give specific exercises don't hesitate to ask
Thanks
Phil

Cant specifically comment on your situation but can from perspective of rupturing my ACL and recovering from the reconstruction. You need to get you quads and hamstrings as strong as possible. I found kneegeeks helpful when i ruptured my ACL and afterwards.
Best of luck

philmill05, Get yourself assessed by a good sports-injury specialist and ask who their recommended physiotherapists are. Trying a DIY approach will cause you major grief if the diagnosis you have been given is wrong.
Also recommend looking at Knee Geeks, especially all the information in the Information Hub rather than perusing the Forums. That comes later when you really know what is happening to your knee and what you need to do to get it fully fit.

I have had it checked by multiple specialists including having MRI scans hence why I know that i have constantly strained cruciates. I have two generic exercises given by a physio but thought someone on here may have some more skiing based ones. Especially as it will be my first season so wont to strengthen my knees in a way which will mean they will last the season!

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

simple, you need stronger legs and hips, so you need to do strength training for these areas. The answer is squats. Find a gym with a squat rack and olympic bar, start light, use perfect technique (you may need some instruction on this) which means squat to full depth (hips below knee) - don't listen to anyone who says anything different. Do this 3 x per week for 3 sets of 5 after warm ups, increase the weight each session, add some deadlifts once a week, and you'll be in great shape for anything ski related come next winter.

philmill05, I'm lacking a few ligaments too, & have just been given a killer exercise - stand on the ball of one foot for 3mins. Sounds easy, doesn't it?!
