The program contains stretching, stability and strength training for your injury and should be done until there is no longer any pain or tiredness in the knee. How much load the injury can withstand depends on the individual case, so you should complete the program 1-2 times per day, depending on how the injury reacts.

And remember, you can train to, but not over the pain limit.
