MCL Recovery at Sridevi Physiotherapist
The Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) is a crucial ligament located on the inner side of the knee that provides stability and support during movement. MCL injuries are common, especially among athletes participating in contact sports, and can significantly impact your mobility and daily activities. At Sridevi Physiotherapist, I specialize in the recovery and rehabilitation of MCL injuries to help you regain strength, stability, and function. With over 20 years of experience, I am dedicated to providing personalized care tailored to your specific recovery needs.
Understanding MCL Injuries
MCL injuries can occur due to various reasons, including:
Sports Injuries
Activities that involve sudden stops, changes in direction, or direct impacts to the knee, such as football, basketball, and skiing, can lead to MCL tears.
Falls or Accidents
A fall that causes the knee to bend awkwardly or a direct blow to the outer knee can result in an MCL injury.
Overstretching
Excessive lateral movement or twisting of the knee can strain or tear the MCL.
Signs and Symptoms of MCL Injury
Pain on the inner side of the knee
Swelling and tenderness around the knee joint
Stiffness and reduced range of motion
A feeling of instability or the knee "giving way" during activities
Bruising or discolouration around the injured area
