I did mine in 2009 jesus h i could hardly walk, 3 years I was limping around, it was defo my MCL but my knee kept swelling. My GP gave me a shot of cortisone behind the knee it was all gone the next day but be warned, keep those toe muscles exercised, because ide not been walking properly for a few years that was my next problem, my toes felt like they were on fire. Im 62 now and and have just recently twisted my knee again, these exercises are not easy.

@@mark16livsey Hi Mark I’ve had an MCL sprain on both legs for almost 2 years now, was it just these exercises that helped you recover in the end? Was there anything else you did aside from the exercises and cortisone shot? And did the cortisone make a huge difference? So sorry you’ve been dealing with this, it’s awful.

Treatment 1. Bend extend (Get full range) 2. Double leg squats (straight legs) 3. Double and single leg glute raises 4. Single leg balance (build up to 30 seoconds 5. Single leg dead lift 6. Leg curls 7. Calf raises 8. Body weight lunges 9. Rotation 10. Jogging 11. Run straight (good form) 12. Run and slowly change direction 13. Grape vine 14. Double leg hops 15. Single leg hops

Its frustrating. I got injured lifting weights and I went from being agile to scared I'm going to walk wrong... that list is a good road map to recovery

I am a 56 yr old female - a bit overweight. Prior to my injury I used to walk between 7 & 12km per day atleast 3 x per week. Once I noticed the pain and swelling on my knee I could not walk further than going to the bathroom and back. ( I still cannot fully pinpoint when what happened to cause this injury.) I started using crutches only using the injured knee's toe area for support. I need to start walking again but was afraid I will cause more severe injury. After watching your video explaining the injury, recovery and treatment I feel hopeful again. We were planning a charity walk-a-thon of app. 300km in two months time but now I will just have to postpone it for a little while. Thanx

Thanks for sharing, and good luck with your recovery!

You are good! Fully understood all of it. Nice refresher for this semi-retired PTA! Thank you for posting.

Great video - excellent teaching and diagnostics help. You really put the services I've been getting at my corporate PT chop-shop in perspective... big difference between 'personal trainers' level, versus an actual therapist who knows what they're doing. Very helpful to understand ACL/MCL/PCL interactions when one or all get injured, and how the chain of events triggering off the weakness of one can make vulnerable and injure the others. Thank you!

Wow, what a brilliant tutorial!! So well explained. I feel so hopeful again. Thank you 🙏🏼

This is so helpful. You are so knowledgeable and you can go into detail but in a very clear way. Thank you so much!

Thank you , thank you, thank you!! Very detailed and clearly explained. Definitely the best KZread video for MCL Stains.

Most excellent Explanation of MCL Injury, Braces, and protocols of Rehab. I learned More from this short video than from 2 visits to a Doctor!! Maryke - keep up the great work!

I love this channel and this specific physiotherapist, absolutely professional.

Thanks for sharing! Great explanation on progression for exercises, really appreciate it.

Video with a lot of clarity..!! I am a physiotherapy student and I had just got a MCL strain case and needed some rehab guidance. Thankyou! This looks like the perfect explanation I needed and got about just in time.

tried seeing many for sports injury....I find this channel practical, easy to understand and realistic ....things are demystified 👍

What a great video, I believe I have a chronic MCL due to hip weakness and such on the same side. I can now tell my leg is moving in a way that adds strain to my MCL and I appreciate the advice!

Thank you for your videos. I’m 67; years old and coming back from Covid. Getting my strength back. I over did it working outside and lifting. Never had this injury before. My mom is 96 years old and does the core exercises and walking exercises dally. God bless.

Well done! This video was extremely informative! Like many have said, the best video on mcl injury and rehabilitation that I have found to date🎉 This helps so many people start heading In the right direction or validate’s the exercises they are already doing! 🙏🏻 Thank you!

This is the best video about this type of injury and great rehabilitating techniques. Thank you so much.

This has been so helpful as I was unaware of what to do.

This was an AWESOME video!! So thorough and well explained. I even enjoyed knowing the physiology you put out for clinicians. Thank you SO much for doing this video. I will definitely check out your other videos based on how good this one was.

Thank you so much .. this is a very simple, lucid, scientific and extremely useful video... It helps not only in treating your injury but also in boosting ur confidence... Braces and surgeries , often suggested immediately ... You have clarified it very well...

you're an angel- thank you for helping me care for an injured knee!

Brilliantly explained- very thorough, well done.

Thank you ! I broke a bone in my ankle but the pain in my knee at the time of the injury was severe. I am 10 weeks out and have had no treatment for the knee. Your explanation of how my knee bent inward on impact makes sense. The pain is over the top, but at least now I know what to expect and I will also know what to say if my ortho surgeon suggests surgery when I see him next week. He has not examined the knee because the broken bone that required surgery was the priority. Thank you again for this very helpful video!

Another excellent video, thank you. I'm just watching this for the parts that may also be similarly relevant to an ACL injury.

I wish I had found this video first instead of all the run-of-the-mill generic MCL treatment videos. Top notch and well explained and demonstrated. Thank you!

What an amazing, well structured video. Great info that I really appreciate. Thx 🙏🏻

So nice to hear you talk about getting better

Thank you for this super informative video on MCL Strains. Has helped me hugely.

I got a mcl injury from everyday activities. Feels so silly but it happens. Im at day #2. Going to see the orthopedic soon for an mri. Need a cane to walk. If anyone has a similar injury, I'll update you to help. This video was awesome!!!! Thank you

@Dumdidei94

Hi! I am exactly in your situation now. How was your rehab? what has the mri shown (isolated Tear, which grade? or in combination with other ligament injuries)? What was your rehab the first 2 weeks about? I always thought, that you have to put your leg in a stiff brace to help the ligament heal properly. But she said you can move in one direction (felx and ex) to get greater results on collagen tissue...? would love to hear your experience! I am 36 years old, got it from beachvolleyball, traumatic injury.

Thank you and God bless for helping so many people

Thank you so much for your time and the detail. I've been struggling for nearly a year and this has already started to help me. Very much appreciated.

Yes I do have arthritis (slight, the X-ray said) but I was doing lots of over exercise when this suddenly happens. Thanks a lot!!!!

I agree! This was the most comprehensive thorough description of what why and how to repair an MCL strain/sprain. I am recovering from surgery for a torn medial meniscus and did an exercise in PT that was too taxing and strained/ sprained? my MCL. This video was extremely helpful! I especially appreciate you explaining the progression of exercises and how to know when you can progress to the next one without doing too much. Thank you so much!

Really enjoyed this video, I injured my knee stepping. Down while trail running, I think more of a chronic injury so have found the treatment part and reprogramming my hips part very useful.

Thank you VERY much for this video, it was more helpful that I can even hope to explain.

That is an excellent video. I really like the idea of shifting the weight from the healthy leg to the injured leg by adjusting the body cg to strengthen the weight bearing capability. It is a very simple but effective TP.

Incredible talent for describing treatment, thank you so much.

I was jumping on the trampoline on one leg and strained this one. I won't be doing that anymore. Thank you so much for these videos.

Thank you so much for this video. I have been weight training my entire life. I'm now 57 and broke my leg in a motorcycle accident just above my ankle but while fixing the Bone with a titanium plate they also performed an upper ankle sprain repair. I also banged up my knees in the accident. The dr always told me nothing was wrong with my knee. I had a MRI done but it showed nothing wrong. when they checked it for stability with my leg straight and asked if it hurt. It didn't. but I knew it hurt when it was bent. they said it will heal as it got stronger. It did get a little better till one week ago about 10 months after the accident. it gradually started hurting more and more. It got very painful but I could still walk. Then I came across this video. I will do the exercises you suggested. They were well explained and the progression you explained was also excellent. Now I know what the injury actually is. That was what I needed. Thank you so much.
