Signs we often see
- Giving-way, locking or a feeling of instability
- Swelling after activity or a twisting injury
- Pain at the front of the knee with stairs or squatting
- Difficulty trusting the knee in sport
Our staged approach
- Protect the joint and settle swelling and pain in the early stage
- Restore full range of movement and quadriceps control
- Progressively rebuild strength, power and single-leg control
- Objective hop and strength testing before any return to sport
