Question : Hi Doc,

Do muscle strengthening exercises.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for your query.

Frequent spraining of knee could occur due to weak muscle and ligament around the knee. You need muscle strengthening exercises to strengthen the knee . If it persists then you need a MRI to know the cause of laxity.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.

Take care
