PRE-HAB to avoid Rehab. - Training or Post Operative ACL/PCL Exercises
(approximately 6-8 weeks post-operatively) - Pre-hab is a year around multiplaner total body training program designed to help athletes avoid injury. The exercises utilize the "core" muscle groups to maintain muscle balance, strength, and stability. Pre-hab is ideal for all athletes of all ages and is particularly ideal for skiers, soccer players, tennis players, and climbers. If you are rehabilitating from a knee injury, these are also great exercises at the appropriate time. Consult with your physical therapist about starting them.
