Condition
Meniscus Injury
Loading-based rehab for meniscal tears with or without surgery.
Signs & symptoms
What it usually looks like
- Twisting mechanism
- Joint line pain
- Catching or locking
- Pain on deep squatting
Symptoms overlap between injuries, which is why assessment starts with mechanism and load history rather than a scan. Treatment is then matched to the tissue that actually failed.
