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.

Hi Dr Jo, It seems the exercise that causes the most pain is the hip extension in the prone position. Any ideas why? Thanks!

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.

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.

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 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..

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.

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.

@AskDoctorJo 4 жыл бұрын

You're welcome! Even if you have a lot of exercises to do, you don't have to do all of them at one time. Each one has its own importance. I tell my patients to break them up to 3-4 stretches/exercises, and then do a round in the morning, and a different round at night. This not only makes it shorter and more doable (10 minutes at the most), but it also then changes up the routine, so you are not doing the same thing every time where your body gets use to it and plateaus.

@bformslag 4 жыл бұрын

I hope your knee is feeling better! The job of the MCL is to prevent your knee from buckling in toward midline (imagine a "knock-kneed" position). That buckling in is a position called Genu-Valgus (Genu means knee). A large amount of knee-control actually comes from hip musculature because those muscles control the thigh/femur, which is a major part of the knee joint. With that being said, I would prioritize the muscles that *prevent* you from going into that Valgus position, namely the Gluteus Medius. If your muscles can keep you out of valgus, then your MCL doesn't have to work so hard to do the same job. Dr. Jo's clamshells and the 2nd of the "4 way hip" are going to target that muscle. Almost *everybody* has weak glute meds, and that tends to cause a lot of problems, so even if your MCL is better now, those 2 exercises in particular may still be helpful.

Hi Dr Jo, thanks for this. My specialist diagnosed me as grade 2 MCL, I wonder when can I start these treatments in your video? Can I start rightaway or should I wait a while until the knee gets more rest?

You're welcome. You can start them right away as long as they don't increase the pain and your specialist cleared you to start.
