Meniscus Tear

Causes and Risk Factors:

• Rotational stress during sports involving cutting or turning
• Forceful squatting or kneeling under load
• Gradual cartilage wear from repetitive use
• Muscle imbalances or limited flexibility
• History of trauma or previous knee injury
• Inadequate warm-up or poor movement mechanics

What Happens If Left Untreated?

Without proper rehabilitation, a torn meniscus may result in joint inflammation, persistent discomfort, reduced knee function, and a higher likelihood of degenerative damage to surrounding structures.

How Premier Care Can Help:

• Manual Therapy: Restores normal joint mechanics and reduces restrictions
• Targeted Strengthening: Improves muscular support and joint control
• Mobility Training: Enhances movement efficiency and prevents stiffness
• Rehabilitation After Surgery: Promotes healing and gradual return to sport-specific activity
• Progressive Recovery Planning: Focused on restoring athletic function and preventing recurrence
