This video is designed as an instructional video for treatment of common pathology in the knee joint complex.

We will discuss appropriate intervention and treatment techniques for the knee joint complex including patellofemoral and tibiofemoral joints.

Rehabilitation exercise intervention appropriate for common knee complex problems are discussed.

Specific activation of the most important muscle groups in the knee complex and lower limb kinetic chain are demonstrated to ensure that the muscle dysfunction is effectively and efficiently targeted during rehabilitation.
