In the rehab programs, RM will be used meaning Repetition Max (RM) which is weight load terminology. 10RM is the weight you can lift 10 times and only 10 times. If you can lift a weight maximum 20 times, it’s your 20RM. It is also possible to work with a weight that is your 20RM, but only choose to take 10 repetitions.

The program contains stretching, stability and strength training for your injury and should be done regularly for the years ahead. How much load the injury can withstand depends on the individual case, so you should complete the program 4-6 times per week, depending on how the injury reacts. As pain dissipates you can decrease training to do the program 2-4 times a week. In addition to the program, you should begin walking, bicycling or running on a soft surface (forest) 2-4 times a week.
