@americanptstuttgart: When you’re stuck in bed after a tibial plateau fracture, the TFL and IT band area become extremely weak. And when this muscle shuts down, your lower back will absolutely pay the price. If you don’t have back pain yet, trust me, it’s coming. This exercise is one of the simplest and most effective ways to wake that muscle back up. It helps stabilize your hip, reduces the pressure on your fracture site, and decreases irritation around your screws, plates, or pins. If you want a full plan, check out my Tibial Plateau Fracture Membership. You get weekly coaching calls, a community where you can ask questions daily, and the exact step-by-step system I used to fix my own knee from my bed. I was walking and back to salsa dancing in five and a half weeks. It is possible—you just need the right plan and the right support so you’re not doing this alone.
