Start with the lightest bands then slowly after a couple weeks, increase band strength. Hope that helps, create a great day! Coach T

Great question, it depends mainly on how far the player is through rehab. I would use exercises like clam shells, one legged box squats, and hip bridges. Slowly build the athlete up to more dynamic exercises. Create a great day! -Coach T

Would you recommend this for rehabbing a player recovering from a serious knee injury… or do you think it’s too intense?
