Program content & structure
The program consists of 4 phases:
Phase 1
Phase 1 begins as soon as possible following injury. The aim of phase 1 is to reduce pain and inflammation.
Phase 2
The aim of phase 2 is to gradually increase the load through your knee. As you improve you should increase the speed of the downwards phase of knee exercises.
Phase 3
The aim of phase 3 is to further increase the load through the patella tendon and begin to introduce plyometric exercises.
Phase 4
This is the eccentric loading phase where you can begin to really strengthen your knee and start to return to normal training.
