OK, what would you do for a client that has been compaining of knee pain. The subject (my father) frequently rides a bike, so I feel that it is caused by an inbalance in strength between his hamstrings and quads. He has never weightlifted before, and has been advised to avoid squatting (??? occupational therepist's advise) A friend of his that is an occupational therepist agrees with me as to the diagnosis. I want to come up with a routine, nothing to major, centered around his recovery and hamstring strength. I was thinking of including band kick backs, leg curls, straight legged deadlifts and one legged SLDL's. Any help would be appreciated.
