Easily Restore Knee Extension After Injury or Surgery
from Unreal Results for Physical Therapists and Athletic Trainers · host Anna Hartman
I spent many, many, many days of physical therapy in tears with the PT cranking on my knee, trying to force knee extension and flexion after surgery. It was traumatizing to say the least, and now I know it didn't need to be like that. After rehabbing 3 surgeries in high school and college and forcing the range of motion, by the time I had my 4th surgery as a sports healthcare professional, I knew better and was able to quickly and easily improve my knee extension- no force, no tears, minimal effort. In this podcast episode, I share my top techniques to quickly restore knee range of motion after injury or surgery that don't require old school forceful techniques but work with the body to restore the joint arthokinematics and osteokineamtics quickly and in a way that sticks from treatment to treatment, so you don't have to endlessly repeat the techniques in every rehab session.Resources mentioned in this episode:Swelling Reduction Protocol That Works Like Magic Podcast Episode: https://www.movementrev.com/podcast/seasion-1-episode-3-swelling-reduction-protocolUnlocking the Fibula Podcast Episode: https://www.movementrev.com/podcast/season-1-episode-8-unlocking-the-fibulaUsing Bone Rhythms to Restore Knee Extension: https://youtu.be/cSAh46t7nnkKnee Distraction: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CtuC3oIPLYv/Articularis Genu self massage: https://youtu.be/NXNhjwI9ypMArticularis Genu mobilization: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CZxjJTelOw7/=================================================Watch the podcast on YouTube and subscribe!Join the MovementREV email list to stay up to date on the Unreal Results Podcast and MovementREV education.
