Exercise...

[Churchill]

Tai Chi is really good at strengthening the legs especially the ligaments around the knees.

But find a proper teacher not some hippy-dippy type who doesn't recognise it is a martial art

Martial Art? Yeah for ******' sloths!

(Yeah, I know, only kidding)

I would go with what the doctor suggests along with recommended stretches, strengthening exercises etc.

WHS

Unfortunately you just have to suffer the boredom otherwise you will delay getting back to full fitness.

I need a knee reconstruction sometime soon and can't do anything high impact, I used to run alot. Has anyone been in this situation? What exercise have you done? Dr suggested swimming, but I don't really enjoy it very much

Cycling is good for the knees, the bike with the handle by you butt is best for strengthening knees if u use high resistance, seated quad machine and the squat machine where u lay on your back are all low impact on the knees. If your gym has it, there is a squat machine where u push the weight up from your seated position below which is also a good 1. You gym attendants should be able to show u what u need to do.

The advice depends on what you have broken/damaged.

Generally I'd go with the advice of the professional.

Can't agree more.

And you probably get better advice of a physio than a doctor.
