Knee Meniscus Tear Tests and Exercises for Full Recovery

Рет қаралды 2,235,590

Күн бұрын

Find out if that pain in your knee is a meniscus tear with these three different tests. Then, address the root cause of the knee pain with the four demonstrated exercises.
Coach E demonstrates the three meniscus tear tests that will differentiate between muscular strain and a connective tissue injury. The tests also look at what type of meniscus tear you may have: medial, lateral, or a bucket handle tear.
The exercises focus on a general approach to mobility and strengthening the connective tissues. They’ll help everyone from athletes to bookworms keep their knees healthy by correcting muscular imbalances and poor posture habits.
They should only take 5 minutes to complete once you get the hang of them. Taking a few minutes to go through the routine every day will help speed along the recovery process. They’ll also help increase strength and stability, as well as improve mobility.
Even if you don’t have a torn meniscus, these exercises can help improve you knee health. Limited range of motion in your knee increases the risk of injury. Particularly in tibial rotation (exercise #4), improving your ROM will help keep you active and pain free long term.
Please ensure that you’re taking your time with the 4th exercise in the sequence. Keep it slow, controlled, and don’t use any momentum.

Thank You so much for this video! I injured my right knee while playing football last year. Turns out it was a torn meniscus. I didn't go for a surgery but did physiotherapy. I used to do all the suggested exercises for 4 months and I felt like running again. I tried sprinting and realised that I hurt myself again. I was able to find some relief by doing some air-cycling kicks every day. Cut to a few months later (March 2020) - I tried to go back to running. I realised that I can't sprint and kick a football without feeling any pain. Then I found this video. I did all the exercises that you have suggested here. I used to do it 2 times a day in the first few weeks. Now, I don't do these exercises every day. I do it just two or three times a week. And I feel awesome. I can feel tremendous improvements in regards to my right knee mobility and strength. I can do squats, lunges and burpees very easily. I can do 30 minutes of Jump Rope training! I haven't tried to do all-out sprints yet, but a few days back I tried kicking a football and turns out that it doesn't cause pain anymore. I want to thank you for posting this video and I would suggest anyone in a similar situation follow these exercises!

My meniscus tore during football after an awkward twist. Took 2 months to start walking normally. Took an MRI to confirm. Several instances of sudden reactivation after decent recovery, after sudden shock. Many times my knee locked out and would stretch it back to place. About 8 months later i rarely experience it. I can fully squat, no pain, but i can feel the limit of my rotation, but back to football. Dont stay disheartened guys, with enough recovery and good physio, youll be good sooner than u knew it.

They really are, I have a ton of experience with this type of injury, hell I'm 40 and already need a full replacement. For one the biggest reason as to why you need surgery, for a tear is because the meniscus has such poor blood supply,always worse when torn. It's been a little over a year since my last surgery, and doing any of the movements he described, will make me scream in pain and cause my knee to lock terribly and pop ,bad tearing away even more bone!!!! Ya I don't recommend torquing the knee in any of the ways described, not even a healthy joint!!! I mean the knee is simply not designed to move in those ways. The advice I'm sorry to say is wrong and actually pretty dangerous!!!! I urge everybody who saw the video not try those methods, speak to your Orthopedic, trust me he will not approve of those methods!!!

If you really did tear, your meniscus, my guess is gonna be that you did not heal with the advice given. The meniscus naturally has very poor blood supply, not amount of exercise is gonna increase it. And the movements described can cause alot more pain, un natural range of motion. See an Orthopedic please.

Gilbert Garza thanks for your input. I did go to an orthopedic guy. He’s great. He referred me to phys. Therapy 3x/wk for 6 weeks, then surgery if it came to that. I was lazy and never went. Instead I went to a holistic chiropractor who does PEMF = Pulsed Electro Magnetic Field Therapy. After the first session i had full range of motion and reduction in pain and swelling. I have no limp, no pain I’ve probably gone 8x. That first visit with immediate results blew me away. I feel the results were quicker and more effective than physical therapy would have been and I certainly would never want surgery on my knees. I’m very grateful and super happy with the results. There are youtube videos regarding PEMF. I encourage you to check into it. Approved by the FDA. I wish I could refer you to one, but I’m not that tech savvy.

Thank you so much, I'm for sure going to do it all, and hope this is will strengthen my knee so my injury will not come back. Have a medial meniscus injury and it seems it was recovered, but it came back when I was starting to do my full training again.

These exercises and the thinking behind them are certainly a good place to start. Since doing this video I've released a meniscus course with Dr. Erin Boynton, who was the orthopaedic surgeon for the Toronto Blue Jays (major league baseball team) for 10 years that you can find here (if you can I highly recommend it): www.precisionmovement.coach/meniscus/

I had a knee surgery 15 years ago with ACL restoration and meniscus tear. Yesterday I my knee “bent the wrong way”, to the side, while I was trying to save an over-pulled wheelie. That of course didn’t end well. I instantly knew that I hurt my meniscus. I was still able to bike home, but my leg started to feel shaky, uncertain. Today I will start these exercises and pay a visit to the Emergency Room to get that checked and sorted and tested for further ligament damage. Let’s see what the doctor will say! I am saving this video in my playlist and, if I won’t forget it, I will return to give you updates about my recovery by doing these exercises! I think biking will still remain as one of my recovery-exercises, though no crazy mtb trails for a while.

@antonioarcano7989 4 жыл бұрын

Try stem cells firts. not all people are the same and it depends on the procedure if some can be sutured that's good, while other need to remove the tear, and that bad because you lose the ability to heal and most likely would require a knee replacement down the road.
