Warm up and do the selected supporting stretches first, then work through your strengthening exercises from the handout.

Separate · temporary · once daily

Interim Program

A gentle, low-load routine for the period before imaging or clinician guidance. Keep it separate from the handout-based Strength plan.

Assumption you requested: this temporary routine assumes there is no bone injury; imaging has not confirmed that. Do one gentle round once daily and stay within a comfortable range. Stop for sharp or increasing pain, or if swelling increases afterward. Do not force deeper bending.
01

Ankle pumps

While seated or lying down, slowly point your foot away, then draw your toes back toward you. Keep the movement easy.

15–20 repetitions
02

Thigh tightening (quad sets)

With your leg supported and knee comfortable, gently tighten the front of your thigh. Hold, then relax fully.

8–10 repetitions · hold 3–5 seconds
03

Comfortable-range heel slides

Lying down, slowly slide your heel toward you and then straighten the leg again. Stop before discomfort; do not push for a deeper bend.

8–10 repetitions
04 · Optional

Straight-leg raise

Only try this if you can keep the affected knee straight and the movement is pain-free. Tighten your thigh, lift the leg a few inches, then lower it slowly.

Start with 5 repetitions · skip if painful or knee bends
For now, skip: squats, leg presses, ankle weights, skating, and kneeling. Get prompt medical assessment for a hot or red knee, sudden worsening swelling, locking, giving way, or inability to bear weight.

Your exercise schedule

A repeating weekly pattern begins tomorrow.

Week 1

Strength days center exercises 4–12. The schedule keeps exercises 1–3 as supporting stretches; heel-cord stretches and calf raises follow the more frequent days listed in your handout. Confirm the plan with your clinician.

The handout describes a general program, usually for 4–6 weeks, and says it should be done under a doctor’s supervision. This calendar is a convenient transcription of its frequency guidance, not an individualized prescription. Move or skip a session if your clinician advises it.

Knee strengthening exercises

These nine strengthening movements are exercises 4–12 from your handout. The first three stretches remain available as supporting prep and cooldown.

Progress log

Keep a simple record of sessions and how your knee felt.

How did it feel?

Record the session and any changes you noticed. This is a personal note, not a medical assessment.
