What are meniscus injuries?
A meniscus injury is a tear in the cartilage of the knee. The meniscus is a C-shaped piece of cartilage that acts as a shock absorber between the thighbone (femur) and the shinbone (tibia). Meniscus injuries are common in athletes and people who participate in activities that put stress on the knee, such as running, jumping, and twisting.
FLEX Physical Therapy has experienced physical therapists who can help you recover from your meniscus injury. We will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that meets your specific needs and goals.
What is Meniscus Tear Physical Therapy?
Meniscus tear physical therapy focuses on reducing pain, improving knee function, and restoring mobility. Our treatment plans typically include:
- Thorough Evaluation: Identifying the type and severity of your meniscus tear through a comprehensive assessment.
- Pain Management: Utilizing modalities such as ice, heat, and ultrasound to reduce pain and inflammation.
- Manual Therapy: Hands-on techniques to improve joint mobility and reduce stiffness.
- Strengthening Exercises: Building the muscles around the knee to support the joint and prevent re-injury.
- Flexibility Training: Improving the range of motion in your knee and surrounding joints.
- Education and Prevention: Teaching you about meniscus tears, how to manage your condition, and how to prevent future injuries.
