Knee Post Stem Cell Treatment: Rehabilitation Program Week 6-8
This week you will progress into functional movements beginning with emphasis on the lunge and the squat
A few important points
It is very important to remain in a painfree range as you transition to weight bearing exercises
Your goal is to feel fatigue in muscle with the least amount of pressure or discomfort around the knee
You will see in the strength circuits, they will incorporate a standing, more threatening movement following by something non-weight bearing and less threatening
Beyond this program, I encourage you to organize your workouts in that way
Example: After a set of squat or lunge, do something seated or lying to break up weight bearing on the knee
If you do an overhead press and your shoulder is sore, follow it with something where you arm is down at your side like a tricep extension
Pair together movements that work opposing muscle groups like a knee extension with a hamstring curl
Strength Circuit: 10-20 reps first set, if you are getting to 20 reps and the movement does not feel incredibly challenging, attempt to progress to the next version below and start with your reps lower at 8-10
