If your therapy clinic is so booked, can you switch to another clinic? If that’s not an option for you, I have to agree that you need to skip any group sessions.….especially one that promises to be “more aggressive.” You are healing, not strength building. Have your therapist give you exercises to do at home until you can schedule an individual session. And when you schedule, make appointments for at least 3 weeks and keep making them that far in advance so you don’t have problems. If they are that busy, they won’t care if you have to cancel later because you no longer feel you need them.
The important thing is to listen to your body and not feel that you have to do things that cause you more than mild discomfort when doing the exercise or in the 24-48 hours afterwards. Keeping your knee inflamed will slow your recovery and could result in some chronic pain issues. Remember you are in charge of how your therapy is done. You have the right to say “no” to anything.
