- Phase 3: Progress into Single Leg Stance and Functional Loading
- This phase set up a daily sequence that should focus on muscle activation and mobility along with a progression into single leg strengthening required for functional activities
- Each strength circuit with provide various levels of difficulty that should only be progressed to if the previous movement is no longer challenging
- It is once again imperative that you feel no pain or pressure in the previously painful site
- If you do feel any pain, try to move very slowly to that point in the range and then quickly move out of that position
- Emphasis on reps being slow and controlled to maintain control and tension in the correct areas with each rep taking 3-5 seconds IN EACH DIRECTION…that is really slow
- If you do feel any increase in pain, you may be able to decrease it by focusing on the position of the pelvis and abdominal control
- It is recommended to go through the circuit on the strength days 1x initially, but progress to a second set for the following week with 1/2 as many reps for the second set. Your goal is still 5-20 reps for set one and then the second time through the circuit can be 1/2 the reps for each exercise
- Ice is recommended after each session 10-20 minutes
- 5-20 reps for each movement
- Goals:
- Minimize Irritation using ice as needed
- Progressive loading into more of a stretch position
- Incorporate single leg stance required for walking and stair negotiation
- Establish a light sequence to be done daily to focus on mobility and muscle activation
