There are many different MCL sprain grades. You can also have a complete MCL tear. These MCL stretches & exercises are for before surgery. If you’ve had surgery, follow the protocol given by your doctor or physical therapist. Got an ACL Sprain?: • Top 7 ACL Sprain Exerc...
The medial collateral ligament (MCL) is located on the inner part, of your knee. It helps add stability and strength to the knee joint.
The first MCL sprain treatment is to start off by getting mobility in the knee joint. You can help flex and extend the knee with knee props and heel slides.
Next you want to strengthen not only the muscles around the knees, but also around the hip as well. Clamshells and a four way hip do a great job of strengthening these muscles.
Finally standing up, hamstring curls and balancing are great ways to strengthen and help stabilize the knee joint.

I injured my MCL Grade 2 over 4 weeks ago and therapists have been so busy I can not see anyone for 4 more weeks, so I have been searching for videos like yours-- but yours literally made me cry because you are the ONLY one to mention "you may not be able to straighten or bend it and thats ok .... hold it......" Everybody else just says bend or straighten without making it clear that it is normal for it to feel like a lot of pressure or tightness while trying to bend it. Thank you so much you really made a huge difference.

I just sprained my ACL and MCL. The doctor only told me to rest for two weeks and not to bear any weight. I had been noticing my knee was freezing up in a bent position which concerned me. I started doing these exercises a few days ago and I’m already seeing improvement. It’s nice because I can do them in bed and just skip the standing ones for now. It amazes how physicians do not educate you (or they are uneducated) on the dangers of staying idle with injuries like these. Never once did he mention physical therapy or simple exercises like these. I firmly believe if I had not started these exercises it would be a much longer recovery..

Hello @AskDoctorJo - Thank you for this video. I don't have a professional diagnosis -- yet -- but an MCL injury seems likely. I worked on letting my leg unbend and drop naturally (1st exercise), and I cannot believe the difference it has made for me! Obviously, I won't do any other exercises until I have a proper diagnosis, but I really appreciate the pain relief that came from being able to get my knee out of that stuck-bent position.

I've done exercises for the year but I still feel an acute sensitive twinge when I kick a soccer ball. I don't have pain when I walk though. What would you advise in terms of playing soccer? I've read that this twinge is quite normal and will go away after a while of playing?

I’ve injured my mcl whilst playing football I accidentally twisted whilst a sudden changing of direction i heard a pop. I tried to get up but my knee was unstable tho there was no pain but if I put pressure on it , I felt my knees were giving out after a few hours of resting I could walk but only limp on it. I went to have an x-ray and some physical examination and the doctor said I tore my ligament but it wasn’t a full tear. I started to wear a knee brace for 2 months fully extended no movement and soon after I loss a lot of my muscles. After that I went to physical therapy and the physiotherapist gave me some exercises to bend my knees again cuz I couldn’t bend it fully. After that I started working on building some of my muscles back. Currently it’s been 8 months in total and I’m getting better I can jump abit and run abit and do squats lunges with no pain . Though I can’t fully jump and sprint it feels like my knee is unstable still and every time I try to put power in my jumps it feels like my hamstring tendon is locked and wot to let me fully extend my knees to jump. And I’ve notice that the inner part of my quads seems to lack muscle. It’s really frustrating because I do a lot of sports I’m only 16 and it would be a shame to not be able to jump and run again. Can you please advise me what to do or is it a long lasting knee problem? I’m also developing knee stiffness and cracking but with no pain.

@yasinpatel12345 4 жыл бұрын

You might need surgery or stem cell. I partially tore my MCL a few years ago and it recovered in 3-4 weeks. There was just pain no instability, you should see another doctor and specialist to get another perspective. You are young and dont want to face knee reconstruction later in life. All the best!! 👍🏼

Hey Dr Jo! I was a former soccer player (in high school) and had a grade 2 MCL sprain in my right knee. I went through a 2 weeks of physical therapy but my knee felt a bit 'off' ever since my injury. As college rolled around I switched priorities from athletics to studying--- as unfortunately stopped working out on a regular basis. As I've been slowly trying to get into shape I've been experiencing what I would call a 'lose knee cap' accompanied by some 'popping and cracking' whenever I try to do any kind of leg extension. When I feel both my knees, the previously injuried one (going on 4yrs) feels significantly less muscular- I can feel all of my bones very easily compared to my other knee. Do you have any videos/exercises you can reccomend I try? Obviously I would like to have my knee looked at but... until I can save up the funds for that, I'd like to do what I can to strengthen my knee.

1st of all.. Best socks ever! 2nd I got a partial tare in my MCL and at least partial ACL tare (if not a total tale..MR showed that). I had a check-up at a specialist today and she told me to start exercising to strenghten the muscles around the knee. Already looked at your ACL exercises and some of them are pretty similar. I will try these exercises today as she said I have to strenghten and heal MCL first so that we can see how to proceed the ACL treatment.

Hi, I have got 1 quastion. If I try standing on my leg extended (as extended as it can be at the moment..and it's not fully extended) I have a feeling it's very unstable. It feels like the knee is going to give and sometimes it feels like it goes unconrtolably backwards. If I try the same exercise with the knee a bit bent it's OK. Should I keep doing it with a bit bent knee or should I push and try with the leg extended as much as I can extend it? Thank you a lot.. your videos are really helpfull!

Hi! Question, thanks for these exercises. It does help. I had an MCL sprain from football. For 8:26 onwards, when you have your legs stretched out, are you extending as much as you could and locking your knee? Or is it just straight enough but your knee is still bent even just a bit? I got my first MCL sprain from a hyperextended knee when my legs got tired, knee locked straight (not like the medical "locked knee") and I was thrown forward. Ever since I'm fearful of that position and trying to be cautious and prevent myself full straightening it.

Hi Dr. Jo. , I had a grade 2 sprain on my ACL and MCL with an avulsion fracture on my left knee. I did not move my leg for almost a month and now I’m into rehab. It’s been 7 weeks since injury still i don’t have active range of motion. When exercising i can get to 90 but, after some time, the ROM gets almost 10-20 degrees.

Thanks for the video. Would you think that my ireleiv EMS unit could help speed up recovery for my medial colaterel ligament?

You're welcome. Unfortunately, I don't know that answer since I can't evaluate you. Everyone is different. In general, TENS/EMS when used correctly can help improve circulation, decrease pain, and retrain muscles as long as you are cleared by your doctor to use it.

Hi Jo, I live in the UK and find it impossible to see a doctor here, about 6 weeks ago I was walking the dog and he pulled me on a his lead to one side and I felt a excruciating pain on the medial side of my knee going down towards my calf...I self diagnosed it as a MCL anyway everything has been looking good up till a few days ago when the pain came back after I got out of bed any ideas on diagnosis and what I can do to be rid of this pain...is it a good idea to carry on exercising?

I had a bone spur on my inner femur of my right leg. It happened to be right where my MCL is and I had constant pain there for over 3 months so I went to the doctor got a x ray and it was a quarter sized bone spur. And I ended up having surgery 1 month after that. So I couldn’t walk normally with out pain for 4 months which caused my MCL muscle and inner thigh area to atrophy. It’s been 2 weeks since my surgery to get if the bone spur and now I’m here.

I currently have an MCL injury on my left knee and it's been 4 weeks. I applied heat every morning once but, no ice. Should I start using ice on my knee? Is it late? Cus, I have some swelling over the area. Been using knee caps and no braces for the last couple of weeks. Applied Diclofenac too twice a day and no medications.When will it be possible to do these exercises?

Hello Dr. Jo!! I am studying physiotherapy too just have a question if you could answer. If the patient has Mcl strain, 2/5 MMT and has -20 extension (pain 3/10 with movements) what strengthening exercises works best for them.

Thanks so much Dr. Jo. I got to ride on the hood of a car in February and found you. I still have trouble down(and up?)stairs though @61 years old. It's started acting up again with pain. Any advice anyone?

Dear dr Jo, thank you for all of your knee videos, especially ACL ones. But what about LCL? I hope one day you will record some excercises for LCL... :)
