Easily Restore Knee Extension After Injury or Surgery

See this content in the original post

I spent many, many, many days of physical therapy in tears with the PT cranking on my knee, trying to force knee extension and flexion after surgery. It was traumatizing to say the least, and now I know it didn't need to be like that. After rehabbing 3 surgeries in high school and college and forcing the range of motion, by the time I had my 4th surgery as a sports healthcare professional, I knew better and was able to quickly and easily improve my knee extension- no force, no tears, minimal effort.

In this podcast episode, I share my top techniques to quickly restore knee range of motion after injury or surgery that don't require old school forceful techniques but work with the body to restore the joint arthokinematics and osteokineamtics quickly and in a way that sticks from treatment to treatment, so you don't have to endlessly repeat the techniques in every rehab session.

Considering the viscera as a source of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction is a great way to ensure a more true whole body approach to care, however it can be a bit overwhelming on where to start, which is exactly why I created the Visceral Referral Cheat Sheet.
