While extension is very important when rehabbing an ACL, knee flexion is also important. Use this easy flexion stretch with a towel to distract the knee joint to help with mobility.

The medial collateral ligament is commonly sprained in sports. Keeping the knee from losing mobility is critical in the healing process. Try this simple range of motion exercise to help improve mobility.

Following most knee surgeries the quadriceps (thigh) muscle loses muscle mass in a matter of days. The stronger you are prior to surgery, the stronger you will be after surgery. This simple straight leg exercise can be done pre and post-operatively.

The Frozen shoulder is a very painful and long process. Trying to gently improve mobility can help reduce pain and increase range of motion.

Try these foam roller exercises to help alleviate plantar fasciitis pain.

The hip flexors are a powerful muscle group that commonly becomes tight. When the hip flexors become tight they can alter the biomechanics in athletes, especially runners. The tight hip flexor can shorten stride length which can create achilles, knee and back problems. By using the foam roller, then performing a stretch the hip flexor can lengthen and loosen.

The Piriformis, which is a hip rotator, can become very tight in athletes. When this muscle gets tight it can cause low back pain, hip pain and knee pain. Try this foam roller technique to help lengthen the muscle.

Dynamic warm- up is an excellent way to warm up prior to any exercise. Taking the body through multiple movements helps to prepare the body for athletic activity.

This simple yet effective exercise is best done after running. The latest research is showing that a mild warm-up and dynamic flexibility should be performed prior to activity. For muslce lengthening, the static stretch should be held for at least 30 seconds after exercise.

By far the best stretch for runners. The Iiliotibial (IT) band is a trouble spot for many runners. This band can become very tight in runners creating anterior knee pain. By keeping this band loose, runners can prevent knee pain.
