Knee Prehab Workouts (before your surgery)<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

You will perform a prehab workout 3x per week leading up to your surgery. You have the choice of Workout A or Workout B below. Each workout is about 20 minutes long and focuses on strengthening functional movement patterns, so that your muscles are better prepared to return to movement after surgery. You may alternate between Workout A and Workout B in your 3x\/week training regimen.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Workout A<\/strong> This is a more beginner level strengthening workout, focusing on the gluteals, hamstrings and lower leg. Start here if your pain level is 2-3 out of 10, or if you feel unstable with your balance. If you experience any pain or soreness, modify each exercise to the regression option. For this workout, you will need a chair and a resistance band loop. We recommend the yellow (light resistance), green (medium resistance), or blue (heavy resistance) Mini Band made by Perform Better.<\/p>\r\n
