Rehabilitation protocols for both non-operative meniscal tears and post-surgical repairs, focusing on restoring knee extension and building powerful muscle support.
Immediate Swelling and Pain Management – Techniques focused on reducing effusion and protecting the meniscus during the initial healing phase
Restoration of Full Knee Extension – Specific hands-on and exercise work to regain the full straightening ability of the knee, which is crucial for long-term joint health.
Quadriceps and Hamstring Power Development – Progressive loading to build the strength necessary to stabilize the knee during walking and running.
Agility and Plyometric Conditioning – Sport-specific drills to prepare the knee for twisting, turning, and jumping demands (post-surgical or non-operative).
The goal is long-term joint stability.
