Rehabilitation for Kneecap (Patella) Problems

Whatever your goals, your doctor may recommend that you see a physical therapist to help you reach them. Whenever possible, the goal of your 3-stage rehab program is to get you back to your normal activities. This is done by helping you knee heal and by exercising your knee and its supporting muscles.

Stage 1

Starting to Heal

Stage 2

Improving Your Knee's Function

Practicing Everyday Moves
