MCL – Medial Collateral Ligament

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

My Approach to MCL Recovery

At Sridevi Physiotherapist, I follow a comprehensive approach to MCL recovery, which includes:

Initial Assessment

A detailed evaluation is conducted to determine the extent of the injury and develop a personalized rehabilitation plan.

Pain Management

I utilize various modalities, such as ice therapy, ultrasound, and electrical stimulation, to reduce pain and swelling in the initial recovery phase.

Rehabilitation Exercises

o Phase 1 (Acute Phase): Focus on gentle range-of-motion exercises and isometric strengthening to promote healing while minimizing stress on the knee.
o Phase 2 (Strengthening Phase): Gradual introduction of strengthening exercises for the quadriceps, hamstrings, and surrounding muscles to restore stability.
o Phase 3 (Functional Training): Incorporation of balance and sport-specific drills to prepare for a return to sports and everyday activities.

Education and Guidance

I provide education on knee biomechanics, proper techniques for physical activities, and strategies to prevent future injuries.
