Not a goalie, I actually come from surfing, but I did a grade 2 on my MCL and found your video. Thank you! This is one of the better approaches I've come across. Cheers!
Glad to help Keith - hope you can get back out on the board soon!
@@goalietraining well, went surfing after 4 months of rehab and rest. Not even a flinch!
Strapped on a snowboard yesterday and first fall (super mellow fall) I did it in. Probably a grade 1. Hoping it’s not a sign of things to come.
Thank you so much, this is probably the best video I’ve seen regarding MCL recovery
Thanks! So glad it was helpful!
Thanks for sharing these remarkably helpful therapies! With this video, you are providing a great public service!
My pleasure Rick - happy to help!
There's a very good reason why this video is amongst the rarest of phenomena- having 0 dislikes!!
awe shucks!! Thank you very much Derek!
Appreciate the info and it was easy to understand. Much appreciated
You are most welcome - happy to help out.
Mixed martial artist, this really helped me out!
I got pinned with my back to the ice in a butterfly and then someone else got hooked my skate and pulled my foot outward. One of my worst recurring injuries since then, tweak it every couple of months. Thanks for this.
Yeah, that is exactly how it usually happens, something kind of awkward like that where your leg gets pinned.
Hope you are feeling better and better over time.
Couldn't have come at a better time. Tore my MCL early February just before everything shutdown because of COVID. Resulting in grade 2 sprain and now have to wear a brace. Going to be incorporating these movements/exercises along with my physio exercises. Thanks, this video was helpful.
Glad to help - just go slow and check with your physio first
Coming back from mcl injury any other exercises or videos I bought your program years ago and helped big time Maria
This video is a good progression, but you should work with a sport physiotherapist who can help guide you based on your specific circumstances to get the best outcome.
The best video ever as far as i researched about mcl, very useful, thank you so much 👌💪🏻
Glad to help out 🙌. Nice job going into space 🤣😂
Excellent content. Much appreciated!
Thanks Ryno - appreciate it!
This is the best video for MCLs I’ve seen. But unfortunately no video covers MCL Grade 3 :/
I’m on week 12 and I’m finally regaining some knee stability. I’ll be back to comment at week 24
Glad you like the video. Yeah, a Grade 3 is a complete tear and the best thing is to get busy working with a good sport physio. Your timeline seems appropriate - good luck with it! As you regain more stability, these drills will become more appropriate.
Wow this couldn't have come at a better time. Ended our Winter season with an MCL strain/tear, tore it several years ago had it scoped and keep aggravating it (skiing/hockey/work etc), especially since I switched to goalie a year ago. I was supposed to go in and have it scoped again before we were forced to stay home. Over two months now of no goalie/hockey, but I still feel like one goalie move and it will strain again.
That is good timing - just make sure you start really slowly AND check with your physio to make sure you are ready for them. Hope you are back on the ice soon!
Very useful.. thank you so much mam😍😍😍😍
You are very welcome!
I injured my knee in a bike accident awhile ago. (stupid foot slipped off the pedal and went between the frame behind the front tire) When I went to the ER (called an ambulance cause I heard a snap) they were like "oh it's not broken you'll be fine". Tried applying for the Army long after healing. He told me to squat down and walk towards him and he said "oh it was an MCL injury." Would have been much more useful to know before cause it was at least a grade 2. Trying to getting into goaltending now, and while the injury is years old, it's still unstable so I'm hoping that these exercises can help some.
Oh wow - that was a bad crash; these might help, but the BEST think you can do is work with a physiotherapist who has experience working with athletes - - even after years, it will be your best way to safely progress.
Wow. What timing. Played for First time in 10 years yesterday and tweaked my LCL. Both don't feel good but it hurts going down and getting up from butterfly. Not sure if its cause I'm just back on ice or being heavier
Your LCL or your MCL? It would be odd to hurt your LCL going into the butterfly - if you are feeling discomfort on the outside of your knee is it more likely an irritation of your tib-fib joint or lateral meniscus.
@@goalietraining if your looking at front of left knee it's more 4-6 o'clock position around knee.
Tnq miss I need this exersise ❤️❤️
Glad to help - hope you feel better soon!
Are u got Valgus test with ur MCL?
Are its Loose and sway??
If you have a Grade 2-3 tear of your MCL, there will be instability detected on manual assessment.
is it permanent or can it be cured with exercise and physiotherapy?
Sister I had grade 2 MCL injury 3 months before.but properly rested my knee just a month ago and I can feel the difference now I am doing the basic quad strengthening exercises so after how many days I can go to gym?will going to gym increase the pain or not
It depends what exactly you do in the gym - that's what will dictate whether you are sore or not. I would ask your physical therapist about that, they should be guiding your initial rehab and return to the gym.
Are treatment methods which aim to increase blood flow (ultrasound, laser, electrotherapy, manual therapy, etc) generally also employed for ligament sprains? At least for muscle injuries, I’ve always had poor recovery results with PT that didn’t include ultrasound & manual therapy. Was wondering if same will apply to my MCL sprain…
Manual therapy can be helpful for sure - but without the right PT, your muscles won't recover to support your MCL as it heals. You can use modalities to help with symptom relief, US is thought to promote blood flow or help break up scar tissue - I am not sure any of that is clinically proven - - it could be, I just haven't spent a lot of time looking into the research on it. But manual therapy, Estim (especially early on) will help support the retraining you should be getting as part of the PT.
How much time it take to fully recover from mcl injury ??? And can i do these exercise for how much days!!
This is a tricky answer because it depends on the Grade of sprain - grade 1, 2 or 3. It can be a few weeks to several months. The exercises are for when you are looking to get back to skating and hockey, so again it will depend when you use them and for how long you use them. Once you are back on the ice playing, you don't need to do them.
Can you do any physical activities (ie. go public skating) while you have a grade 1 sprain? I went for a bit of shinny on the pond yesterday and it felt a bit sore today when I woke up.
It depends a little bit on whether it’s a mild grade one or a severe grade one, and how long it’s been since the initial injury. I would say if you’re in the first few weeks after injury, I probably would avoid it and just try to let it heal. If you’re at a stage where the knee is essentially pain-free and all your activities of daily living and you really are just going for a gentle public skate, with no butterflies or hard stops or starts, then I think it should be OK as long as you aren’t having any pain during and you’re not having any significant pain afterwards. But the best way to know 100%, is to have a physiotherapist assess it for you and give you their thoughts. I hope that helps.
@@goalietraining It happened back in November and I'm pain free in daily living. I wouldn't say we did hard stops but definitely some medium stops. It's a very dull pain the morning but it's usually gone by the time I get up and moving about...although I still can't put any torque on the knee (ie. RVH or leaning my torso towards the knee while in butterfly, or even in sitting position). Good advice on the physio thing, thanks :)
@@xs8002 yeah - I think you are probably okay to do the gentle skating, but if you are still having trouble in those movements at this stage, best thing is to get it checked.
Do you have any sort of recommended nutrition? I’m a teenager
I think the www.precisionnutrition.com/blog is the best resource for nutrition info. I also have a few nutrition videos on this channel from a few years back that you can check out.
Awesome video, I got an MCL sprain grade 1 in February skateboarding and rested and did physical therapy and was doing great just with minor pain when really squatting down, but yesterday I went surfing and landed in a weird position and got immediate pain, been icing it since yesterday, now I have pain when bending my knee again, feel like I regressed about a month, do you think I could have re-injured it? or is it common to go back to your normal activity and have some days where the pain might come back? thanks!
You could have re-injured it unfortunately, but you could have also just disrupted some of the scar tissue from the initial injury. If you bounce back really quick - like in a few days, then it is probably just tearing some scar tissue adhesions. Fingers crossed for you.
@@goalietraining Thanks! I am bouncing back after a couple days which gives me high hopes it was just a minor scar tissue tear.
@@mattcarballo935 That sounds really promising Matt.
Do you have any videos or info on the ACL? I have a ruptured baker's cyst, strained patella and pain on the ACL of my left knee. MRI didn't show any tears really
Did you have a mechanism of injury? How did you injure your knee?
I'm not sure what caused it other than maybe yoga mat surfing and falling and then not taking the time to rest before getting back on the ice. There were also a few times were players got knocked into me after I made the save and covered it up.
This all happened around the end of October and beginning of November. I would baby my leg during the week in between my Thursday night games. I did this off and on till the end of January
What could be done to straighten the knee with a 1st grade mcl injury
If you have a grade 1 MCL strain, straightening your knee should not be much of a problem. If you are getting a sharp pain when you try to straighten your knee, then I am immediately thinking you might have an injury to one of your menisci.
How long does it take to heal a grade 3 tear ?
A grade 3 tear is a complete rupture, so you should be following up with your sport physiotherapist, sport med doc or orthopaedic doctor to decide on the next course of action.
I accidenatally Forced my mcl into grade two sprain when I was younger 5 years ago when I do sports or excercise the pain on the inside on the knee still comes and goes is this normal that I still have those kinds issues after all this time
No, I wouldn't say that is normal for a grade 2 MCL - - could be somewhat normal if you had a meniscal irritation, I would get it checked out by a good sport physio just to see what's going on.
When u talk about the knee I get nervous cuz I had surgery
No one likes to have surgery, but some injuries require that and when it helps you get back to your regular activity, it's lucky that we have that as an option. Hope you are doing well.
How long do you usually do physical therapy for a grade 2 MCL sprain?
Your physiotherapist will be able to give you the best timeline. Grade 2 is a little funny because it covers anything from a small full thickness tear to a big tear just shy of a complete tear. but 6-12 weeks is a decent guideline. Just keep in mind it could be more or less.
