Meniscal Injury Rehabilitation
To get back to your peak performance is your goal and our mission is to make you achieve this goal in shortest span of time. Earliest recovery and prime conditioning is our main focus.
Let’s First understand this Injury:--
Meniscal injury or meniscal tears are among the most common knee injuries, particularly the athletes who play contact sports are at a higher risk. However, anyone at any age can tear a meniscus.
The medial meniscus is more prone to injury than the lateral meniscus as it is connected to the medial collateral ligament and the joint capsule and so is less mobile. Hence, any forces impacting from the outer surface of the knee, such as a rugby tackle, can severly damage the medial meniscus.
Causes
- Sudden squatting and twisting the knee may lead to a tear during sports.
- Direct contact, like a tackle is sometimes involved.
- Older people are more likely to have degenerative meniscal tears, due to aged and worn out tissues and weakened cartilages.
- Even an awkward twist while getting up from chair may lead to tear in old age
Symptoms
- You might feel a “pop” when you tear a meniscus.
- Pain on the inner surface of the knee joint.
- Tenderness along the joint line..
- Stiffness and swelling, which over two to three days gradually increases.
- Catching or locking of your knee.
- The sensation of your knee “giving way”.
- You are not able to move your knee through its full range of motion.
- Inability to bear weight on the affected side.
- Without treatment, a piece of meniscus may come loose and lie free in the joint. This can cause your knee to slip, pop or lock.
Examination
- Physical examination: Mc Murray test- the doctor bends your knee, then straighten and rotate it, putting tension on the meniscus. This movement will lead to a clicking sound if you have a torn meniscus.
- Imaging tests- X-ray: Do not show meniscal tear, but other causes of knee pain like osteoarthritis.
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): To view better images of the soft tissues (menisci).

Success Stories
I had begun to feel as if I am 70 at the age of 45 only. I would envy elderly people walking without any pain. Nothing seemed to help. My family was really disturbed on seeing my condition. I was diagnosed to be having early Osteo arthritis and the doctors advised to get the Physiotherapy done, but there was a long waiting period for treatment in U.k. I did not have the patience to bear so much pain so we decided to move to India for the Physical rehabilitation and we got the reference of Dr Sanjay Bakhshi, Physioline from one of our relative who had taken the treatment there. Thanks to Dr Bakhshi and his team who gave me complete pain relief and good recovery.Now I think that I can live without surgery by continuing to do all the prescribed exercises.Jayshree Chaudasama , UK Osteoarthritis, Knee---Physical Rehabilitation
