"Hi! My name is Monica and I'm going to start off by taking you through some knee range of motion exercises. Range of motion is just simply bending and straighten the joints as much as you possibly can without any pain. I do want to let you know to that if your knee is popping or cracking or clicking at all during this or any of the other exercises, that is usually fine. Most knees do pop and crack but if you are experiencing any pain while doing this, that is a problem. So what I want you to do is get comfortable. Knees need to be bent. You are going to work on right leg first which you are going to start off with the knee straight on the floor and then I want you to slide a little all the way back as far as you can and then right back out again. You could see that I took my shoe off, it is a little bit easier if you have either just your socks or barefoot so that way your shoes are not trying to drag across the ground. It is just simply bending the knee up, straightening it, bending, straightening. "
