@thinus.physio: Did you just twist your knee? You’re not alone — medial collateral ligament (MCL) sprains are one of the most common knee injuries in sports and everyday life. The MCL is a ligament on the inside of your knee that helps stabilize the joint. It’s usually injured when the knee is forced inward — like during a fall, tackle, or awkward landing. In fact, MCL sprains account for up to 40% of all knee ligament injuries, especially in contact sports like rugby, football, and judo — but they’re also common in skiing, soccer, and even during sudden direction changes. In this series, I’ll break down: 1️⃣ What exactly an MCL sprain is 2️⃣ How to tell if it’s serious 3️⃣ What to do to recover properly (and avoid long-term instability) If your knee feels sore, stiff, or unstable after twisting — this is for you.
