Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) Knee Exercises and Rehab | Doctor and Physio led

In this video Dr O'Donovan (medical doctor) and Ella Boys (physiotherapist) guide you through exercises to help with knee medical collateral ligament (MCL) rehab. In this video, you'll learn simple and effective rehab exercises to support your MCL recovery—helping to reduce pain, improve knee stability, and build strength in the muscles that protect the inside of your knee. 👉 What is the MCL and how does it get injured? The Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) runs along the inner side of your knee and helps keep it stable—especially during side-to-side movements. It can be sprained or torn from a blow to the outside of the knee or from twisting injuries, often during sports or sudden directional changes. 👉 What are the symptoms of an MCL injury? Common symptoms include pain on the inner side of the knee, swelling, a feeling of instability, or a sensation that the knee might give way—especially when pivoting or bearing weight. 👉 What does MCL rehab involve? Rehabilitation focuses first on reducing pain and swelling, then progresses to strengthening the muscles that support the knee—particularly the inner thigh (adductors), quads, and glutes. Bracing, taping, or modifying activity may also support healing in the early phases. 🦵 In this video, we’ll guide you through step-by-step exercises designed to activate and strengthen the muscles that support your inner knee. Whether you're recovering from an MCL sprain or post-surgery, these exercises are a key part of your recovery journey.
