Understanding Meniscus Injuries

A meniscus tear affects the cartilage in the knee responsible for shock absorption and joint stability. Injuries often occur from twisting, sudden pivoting, or degenerative changes associated with aging. Common symptoms may include swelling, clicking, stiffness, or trouble fully bending or straightening the knee. Without proper rehabilitation, these symptoms may worsen or lead to secondary issues affecting muscle strength and mobility.
How Physical Therapy Helps You Recover
Physical therapy plays a vital role in reducing pain, restoring function, and preventing long-term complications after a meniscus injury. Our programs at Breakthru Physical Therapy are designed to improve joint mobility, strengthen supporting muscles, and retrain movement patterns to help protect the knee.
- Strength training for quadriceps, hamstrings, and hip stabilizers
- Manual techniques and mobility work to reduce stiffness
- Balance and proprioceptive exercises for improved joint awareness
- Functional progression to support safe return to activity
