My client felt pain severe knee pain when we were marching in place during a dynamic warm-up. She sat down awhile and said she felt fine so we continued the workout but took out all leg work and focused on a upper body band workout. We've been working out a month, she is 272 pounds after losing 6 pounds since starting workouts. She had been sedentary for years and has osteoarthritis in her knees. The doctor recommendation was no step or stairs before said injury. She went to the clinic the next day and was diagnosed with a MCL second degree tear. He felt it was caused from the lateral band walks from the previous workout.(2 days before). He said she should rest it for a few days. Everything I am reading on line indicates a much longer rest period with rehab with a Physical therapist. Should I proceed training her with isometric quad. strengthening or just work upper body?
