Week Four Program: Your main issues at this point appear to be your quadricep tendon, plantarfascitis, adductor tendon
- Emphasis is to continue to build on the movements in your current program
- The program will set up a progression sequence for the five movements that we have established thus far
- Only progress to the next movement in the list when you feel you can complete 20 reps without pain or significant fatigue
- You should continue to do the tennis ball daily, especially as a warm up to the activities we cover in week one
- This fourth phase will continue to evolve into more challenging activities to improve functional strength
- This phase will continue to emphasize specific progressions that should only be progressed to when the previous movement is no longer challenging
- The structure will be spelled out below to minimize the risk of significant irritation
- Continue to utilize the tennis ball everyday or the post option below
- Self Myofascial Release Options
- Other Light Movement Options that can be done throughout the day
- The strength sequences below should only be done 3 days in the week with lighter movements above done everyday
- Each movement with include a progression
- You will do phase 1 for a movement 10-20 reps, if you are able to do 20 reps, you will the complete phase 2 10-20reps, if you achieve 20 reps then try phase 3. If you get to phase 2 and you can only do 10 or it starts to cause some discomfort, you stop there and do not progress to phase 3. You then progress to the same progression for the next movement sequence
