Program Details

Description

The quads are talked about a lot because of how darn important they are for function! For them to function and keep you moving forward, they must rely on the anchor; the patellar tendon. A deconditioned quad and patellar tendon is the recipe for patellofemoral pain. The good news is that you are here to put the work in to change that. In this 8 week Patellofemoral Prehab Program we work on dynamic mobility exercises, building tolerance to kneeling, knees over toes exercises, and working through deeper ranges of motion with more load to get you back in control of your knee health and more importantly get you back to YOU!

This program is best suited for those with mild to no (0-4/10) knee pain or injury prevention including ANYTHING knee cap related or anyone dealing with anterior knee pain (patellofemoral pain syndrome) that is not meniscus in nature. This program is appropriate for individuals dealing with patellar and quad tendon issues, fat pad irritation, knee bursitis, jumper’s knee,Osgood Schlatter’s disease, and Sinding-Larsen-Johansson syndrome.

Program Schedule

Week 1

Get Ready to stretch and strengthen that lingering or maybe even naggy knee pain away! Step 1: Put the quads, core, and calves to work! All the while, increasing our kneeling tolerance and introducing functional movement patterns.

One of the biggest aggravating factors for anterior knee discomfort or tightness tends to be flexion of the knee – whether it’s bending, kneeling, or squatting. So hard to imagine that the answer to resolving this irritating factor is to do more of it, right?! Well it’s time to get comfortable with the uncomfortable. Building tolerance with low grade discomfort is not only normal but encouraged during this phase of your rehab or prehab. Now that you have permission – let’s get to work shall we?

You are getting comfortable with the uncomfortable – you know that discomfort and low grades of pain don’t mean damage! You feel safe and ready to do more! With that said, let’s tap into those quads and glutes a bit more while keeping your movements fun, changing the planes of motion, and increasing time under tension!

Halfway through your Patellofemoral Prehab Program and crushing it! Go you! Up until now you’ve been favoring hip dominant movements strategies to balance the load in your knee and your hips. But now it’s time to step up the quad gains and put our knees to work…the right way!

Remember in gym class when your PE teacher would tell you that your knees should never go over your toes? Well what if we told you that knees over toes are not only ALLOWED but ENCOURAGED and the best way to maximize your quad gains?? Yeah that’s right! You heard it here first! Remember to listen to your body, trust your knee, and let’s get to work!

You are getting used to the idea of your knees over toes and the benefits that can have not just in your exercise routine but day to day life! Walking down stairs? Knees over toes. Walking downhill? Knees over toes. Let’s keep up the momentum while progressively increasing the complexity of your movements not just to challenge your muscles but your mind too!

This week you are putting it all together! Calves, glutes, quads, hamstrings, core…oh my! Not just in one plane of motion, not two, but all three! Let’s be serious…life doesn’t happen in one plane of motion so neither should your Prehab routine. Ready to work? Let’s get it!

Last week of Patellofemoral Prehab Program! You did it! As you’ve progressed through this 8 week program, the exercises have been challenging – yes – but nothing you can’t handle. Now let’s finish strong and put our single leg stability, strength, and endurance to work to kiss that naggy knee pain goodbye!

I have minimal pain now after beginning the full program

I committed to the year option with prehab and it has been life changing. I am not exaggerating at all. I have minimal pain now after beginning the full program, I can not say thank you enough!

I highly recommend this app for rehab and overall health!

There are so many workout apps out there but this one is so unique! Not only is it user friendly and good looking but it’s very educational and includes injury prevention and rehab. I really enjoyed using this app as PT student because it helps me see the many different exercises available and for certain regions of the body as well as hearing patient education from different providers.

I have finally found something that I can actually benefit from that’s tailored to me, my strengths, and more importantly my weaknesses!

I’ve tried all the training apps from Nike Training apps, influencer apps, etc. I have finally found one I can benefit from. From finding them on social media and following their development as a team has been amazing to see. YOU GUYS HAVE DONE IT AGAIN

This app has everything you need for self-rehab with the guidance of a PT-led and created program.

As a PT, I’m always looking for ways to keep my clients accountable at home. This provides a fool-proof way to continue your fitness and wellness journey on your own at home.

[P]rehab is incredibly accessible and has a number of programs that I used to help rehab various injuries.

I was able to customize my training to focus on my unique issues and almost immediately found results. The [P]rehab team is filled with subject matter experts and the app really reflects their work and approachability. 100% confident I’ll incorporate the app into my daily training regiment

This app will revolutionize the pain process and help thousands who unfortunately until now, had to suffer through it all and just settle.

As an instructor of trainers, I’ve taught over 5,000 aspiring PTs on what it takes to become a successful personal trainer. When it comes to injuries, we refer out to experts like everyone on the Prehab Team. With their newest APP, the process has become so much easier and more effective then ever before. There is now hope for people in pain! Highly recommend for EVERYBODY.
