Easily Restore Knee Flexion After Injury or Surgery

Unreal Results for Physical Therapists and Athletic Trainers

This week on the Unreal Results Podcast, I dive deep into the complexities of restoring knee flexion following an injury or surgery. This is a topic that I know all too well as I spent many days in PT having my knee forced into flexion and well, I still don’t have full knee flexion. In this episode, I talk about some of my favorite techniques that don’t require you to force your patient into tears to help them achieve full knee flexion. You’ll hear me discuss some of my favorite approaches including the “standard” hands-on techniques with the typical biomechanical lens of view. But you know it wouldn’t be an Unreal Results episode if I didn’t talk about the holistic side of things including how specific visceral and neural influences can affect the knee as well as the importance of hydration. This is a can’t miss episode for all of my healthcare providers who want to help their patients with treatment techniques that stick from session to session without endlessly repeating them every session.
