Meniscus Tear Rehab at Premier Care Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation

A meniscus tear is a common knee injury in sports involving twisting, squatting, or quick direction changes. The meniscus is the cartilage that cushions the knee joint, and when it’s torn, it can cause pain, swelling, and locking or clicking of the knee. At Premier Care, we offer expert rehab plans to help athletes recover fully and safely.

What Is a Meniscus Tear?

Meniscus tears often occur during athletic movements—like pivoting, jumping, or contact with another player. You might feel a sharp pain, swelling, or a catching sensation in the knee. Some cases require surgery, while others improve with guided physical therapy.
