Dunsborough Physio
SPRIG Program
Strengthen the quadriceps: try squats, lunges, step-ups, straight leg raise, and VMO exercises.
Strengthen gluteus medius and minimus muscle groups to improve pelvic stability and lessen deviation at the knee which can lead to overloding of quad / achilles tendons.
|
Strengthen the calves: try heel raises on a flat surface / on the edge of a step. Do these exercises with both straight and bent knees.
Strengthen deep abdominals to improve the ability of global muscle groups (such as the quads / calves) to function more efficiently - this lessens load on tendon attachments. Check out our Core Strengthening Exercises (Floor-Based / Fitball): click / tap here.
