Runner’s knee, ACL reconstruction, new knees, knees that click and worry you.
Runner’s knee: an ache around or behind the kneecap on stairs, squats and long runs.
An ache around the kneecap, worse going downstairs, squatting, sitting for a long time with bent knees, or late in a run.
Six to twelve weeks for most people. It can come back if training jumps again, so we plan for that.
Reducing what aggravates it for a while, without stopping altogether, and strengthening the thigh and hip. Runners usually need a change to their training more than to their shoes.
We usually start with running assessment, 75 minutes, €90.
Something to start with at home
3 sets of 8, slowly. Go only as low as is comfortable.
The long road back after a torn anterior cruciate ligament, from the first straight leg to your sport.
In the first weeks: a swollen, stiff knee and a thigh that will not switch on. Later: a knee that feels fine day to day, but not yet ready to trust.
Nine to twelve months to return to sports that involve cutting and turning.
Following your surgeon’s protocol, then a staged programme with clear tests between stages: range, strength, hopping, running, changing direction. We do not use the calendar alone to decide when you are ready.
We usually start with rehabilitation after surgery, 45 minutes, €50.
Something to start with at home
3 sets of 10, as your surgeon’s protocol allows.
Not sure this is you? Most people are not a textbook case. Book a first assessment and we will find out together.
