- Keep joint motion daily after surgery by actively bending and straightening the joint to prevent scar tissue build-up.
- Use quad activations and blood-flow-restriction training to maintain muscle mass and speed recovery.
Activate Quads To Minimize Muscle Loss
- When recovering from surgery, do brief quad activations (30–60s holds) to preserve strength immediately post-op.
- Try blood-flow-restriction protocols to limit muscle loss while reducing load on the joint.
