Knee Ligament Injuries: Looped Band Bridges

This exercise helps to strengthen and rehab the knee when you have a sprained ligament that is causing weakness and a decrease in use and function.

Wrap a looped resistance band around your thighs just above your knees. Engage the core muscles below the belly button by pulling them inwards while you keep breathing. Ensure your knees are aligned with your ankles and your hips while you take up the slack in the looped band.

Push through your heels with the feet flat on the ground and bridge the butt up keeping both sides of the pelvis level with each other. Hold this for 10 seconds, and then lower your butt back down. Repeat this for 10 repetitions doing 3 sets daily.
