Great question! Tight rotations can put a rotational stress on the knees, but the compression is fairly small. This definitely isn’t an exercise that I would blindly recommend for anyone with knee pain/injuries to perform, but this player had performed the exercise before and was ahead of the curve regarding his rehabilitation time. I was also very sure to monitor his knee movement during the exercise to make sure he was relatively still from the waist down.

How did his knee respond to the tight rotations?
