In this video I will show you eight of the best home exercises that you can do to treat your knee pain caused by a meniscus tear.

WHAT IS A MENISCUS?

Your meniscus is a pad of cartilage that sits on top of your tibia and cushions your femur. Basically it serves as padding between the top and bottom surfaces of your knee joint.

The menisci (you’ve got two in each knee) also add conformity and stability to the knee joint.

WHAT IS A MENISCUS TEAR?

As the name implies, damage to your meniscus can result in a “tear” in the cartilage. This often results in pain in your knee as well as feelings of “catching“ or “instability“. If you are experiencing these symptoms in your knee, the cause could potentially be a damaged meniscus.

BEST STRETCHES AND EXERCISES FOR A TORN MENISCUS

Fortunately, there is a lot that the right stretches and exercises can do to promote healing in your meniscus and help your knee to feel better.

Your primary focus should be maintaining your full range of motion at your knee and improving the stability in this joint. Knee stability is achieved by strengthening the muscles that act on the knee (quadriceps and hamstring) as well as increasing strength of the muscles at the hip joint.

My go-to exercises for meniscus knee pain are:
0:00 Introduction
2:20 Seated Calf and Hamstring Stretch
3:17 Quad Set (Quad Activation)
4:11 Heel Slide
5:14 Straight Leg Raise
6:20 Hip Abduction
7:26 Hip Adduction
8:10 Isometric Hamstring Curl - Glute Bridge
9:27 Mini Squats (60 degrees)

I hope these meniscus exercises help you out of some of the pain or discomfort that you may be experiencing in your knee.
