Essential Exercises for Strengthening Your LCL
Post-Treatment

After receiving treatment for an LCL injury, incorporating specific exercises into your routine is crucial for strengthening the ligament and preventing future injuries. Here's a guide to some effective exercises:

• Quad Sets: Sit with your leg straight and tighten the muscle on the top of your thigh. Hold for 5 seconds, then relax.
• Straight Leg Raises: Lie on your back, keep one leg bent, and raise the other leg straight up, keeping the knee locked. Hold for a few seconds, then lower slowly.
• Hamstring Curls: Stand facing a wall for balance, bend your knee, and bring your heel towards your buttocks. Hold for a few seconds, then lower slowly.

Incorporating these exercises into your recovery plan can help strengthen the muscles around your knee, providing better support for your LCL and reducing the risk of future injuries.
