Knee Meniscus Recovery Program: https://www.epmanualphysicaltherapy.com/meniscus-recovery/ What if everything you’ve been told about healing a torn meniscus is actually making it worse? In this video, I’m sharing the hard truth about what really helps a meniscus heal and what might be setting you up for long-term damage. Most people are told to strengthen their quads or start cycling right away, but that advice can backfire fast if you’re not careful. I’ll also explain why your MRI might be misleading, why pain relief treatments don’t get to the root of the problem, and what you need to understand about how the meniscus actually heals. If you’re serious about avoiding surgery and getting lasting relief, you need to know what’s really going on inside your knee.
