Find out if that pain in your knee is a meniscus tear with these three different tests. Then, address the root cause of the knee pain with the four demonstrated exercises.

Coach E demonstrates the three meniscus tear tests that will differentiate between muscular strain and a connective tissue injury. The tests also look at what type of meniscus tear you may have: medial, lateral, or a bucket handle tear.

The exercises focus on a general approach to mobility and strengthening the connective tissues. They’ll help everyone from athletes to bookworms keep their knees healthy by correcting muscular imbalances and poor posture habits.

They should only take 5 minutes to complete once you get the hang of them. Taking a few minutes to go through the routine every day will help speed along the recovery process. They’ll also help increase strength and stability, as well as improve mobility.

Even if you don’t have a torn meniscus, these exercises can help improve you knee health. Limited range of motion in your knee increases the risk of injury. Particularly in tibial rotation (exercise #4), improving your ROM will help keep you active and pain free long term.

Please ensure that you’re taking your time with the 4th exercise in the sequence. Keep it slow, controlled, and don’t use any momentum.
