Dr. Caleb Burgess

Physical Therapist and Trainer

The "Knee Recovery Program" is an 8-week program designed to help you overcome nagging or new knee pain/injuries and get you back to your daily activities, workouts, or sport(s).

This program incorporates progressive, intelligent strengthening of the lower body with respect to a sensitized/painful knee, beginning with exercises that minimally stress the knee joint structures and progressing to exercises that gradually stress/strengthen the knee over time to help decrease knee sensitivity and promote knee resilience.

As it was designed, each workout is to be performed  every other day, 3x/week (for example, Monday-Wednesday-Friday) for 2 weeks before moving on to the next 2-week block, BUT some people will find that staying on a certain workout for several weeks may be more appropriate for them if they find benefit from it or need more time until they move on to the next phase.

And that's okay! Take as long as you need on each routine...there is NO RUSH!

As always, if you find that certain exercises seem to be too challenging or even uncomfortable, please don't hesitate to reach out to me via direct message (see the 3 dots at the top right corner of the app) so that I can give you a modification or alternative.

P.S. If you find that you're really struggling and need something more customized/tailored to you and your individual body and situation, send me a message to set up a 1-on-1 virtual consultation, where I'll put you through a detailed movement exam and then put together your own customized program!

Don't forget to leave a comment and/or review, letting me know how you like the workout!
