Place your affected knee on top of a rolled up towel.
Gently start to straighten your knee in order to activate the quadriceps (don’t hyperextend the knee).
You should feel the muscles on the front of the thigh working.
Slowly start to increase the intensity of the contraction from 25-50-75-100% maximal contraction but make sure that it remains pain-free.
Hold for 20-40 seconds.
Rest for 10 seconds.
Repeat 4x.
Complete 2x/day.
