Knee Extension (Knee Kicks)

How To:

  • Place a towel/blanket roll or pillow under your knee. Raise your foot off the bed by straightening your knee, hold for three seconds then slowly lower the heel back to the bed.
  • Do NOT raise your thigh off the towel/blanket.
  • Do NOT rest with a pillow directly under your knee.
  • Repeat 10 times (each leg) three times a day.
  • After surgery you may need assistance from your coach to get into this position to begin/end exercise.
