Brief Answer:
Quadriceps strengthening, Hamstring stretching

Detailed Answer:
Hi there

Thanks for the query

It is best to perform Quadriceps strengthening exercises, VMO strengthening, hamstring stretching exercises, and knee ROM exercises.

Avoid squatting, cross leg sitting, climbing stairs and kneeling as much as possible.

Non-loading exercises like swimming, aerobics and static cycling are preferrable to treadmill.

I hope I have answered your query.

I will be available to answer your follow up queries.

Regards,

Dr. Aashish Raghu
