Meniscus Tear - Start With These Rehab Exercises - A meniscus tear typically occurs when standing and twisting on one leg, like during a cutting maneuver in soccer, and often creates a 'popping' sound, pain and swelling in the knee joint. If this has happened to you, this video will show you the initial exercises we would prescribe in physical therapy to reduce pain and swelling, improve mobility and muscle activation and strength.
As always, if you have pain or your knee feels unstable and isn't improving, make sure to see your local physical therapist or your doctor.
