Training after knee injury - 03 November 2009 07:09 ( #1 )
I ruptured my Anterior cruciate ligament,tore cartilage and tore my medial ligament about 3 months ago playing football. I'm now at the stage where i am trying to start to build up my leg again as it resembles that of a chicken lol.
I have been told to pay particular attention to my hamstrtings so what i'm looking for is some advice regarding different exercises for these and also maybe some tips on stabilisation exercises for my knee.
Thanks in advance.

If you want a very good investment which will help you understand the biomechanics of the knee, and provide programs to help, then I highly recommend "Bulletproof Knees" by Mike Robertson.

http://www.bulletproofknees.com/

Okay, its $100 (~£60). But the info you'll learn will really help you. Its has progressive programs as things improve.

But yes, the glutes and the hamstrings are very important, along with all the other muscles around the hips.
You'll want to make sure you can get near full range of movement through work with a physio.

Hope that helps

Similar situation myself mate and My physio gave me a few exercises to increase muscle strength so i would check with your physio which exercises he/she recomends for your rehab.

However i find that single leg barbel squats and single leg ham curls are good. Good mornings always get my hams going as well as glute ham raises.
