4 Rehab Exercises for a Degenerative Meniscus Tear
Today's video covers rehab exercises for a degenerative meniscus tear, which is the most common type of meniscus tear we see in physical therapy. The meniscus is a C-shaped tissue between your femur (thigh bone) and your tibia (shin bone). Each knee has a medial (inner side) meniscus and a lateral (outer side) meniscus. The meniscus is composed of water, collagen, proteins and other cellular elements.
𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐮𝐬? The meniscus is a shock absorber that helps optimize force transmission across the knee and protects the cartilage on the end of our femur and tibia. The medial meniscus is also a secondary stabilizer to the ACL as it can prevent anterior translation (forward shifting) of the tibia.
𝐃𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐮𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲? Tears in the outer 1/3 of the meniscus have healing potential because there is blood flow to that area. However, tears in the inner 2/3 generally do not heal well as a result of poor circulation.
𝐃𝐨 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐮𝐬 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐲? No. All meniscus tears do not require surgery. Surgery is indicated if you have mechanical symptoms such as locking. Otherwise, you should try conservative management first. This includes NSAIDs (anti-inflammatories), physical therapy, and finally, injections. If you fail conservative therapy and do not have arthritis, you may then be a candidate for surgery.
𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐞𝐱𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐈 𝐝𝐨? Exercises that encourage knee mobility, motor control and strength can help to reduce pain and improve function.

I would recommend trying the exercises in the video below. ua-cam.com/video/IjECCfo3LUw/v-deo.htmlsi=tZ_HrnNGL3GNiBZO
In the gym, is it okay to use the leg extension and lying leg curl machine? I have osteoarthritis in my left knee. Working on strengthening and flexibility moves.
Yes, those machines are usually good options for building strength and offloading the joint.
Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
You're welcome!
I think I do have this - and my rotatory cuff also hurts because of my bicep tendons as you said. I will try these from today and see how I feel. Thank you so much for this informative video
You’re welcome! I hope the exercises help you!
I’m not sure what damage that I have. It feels like a nail being driven into my knee when I run or climb stairs. I can walk for miles but as soon as I begin to jog it flairs up and I need to return to walking. I think the exercises you are demonstrating will be helpful regardless.
I would also recommend the exercises in my patellofemoral joint pain video. The patellofemoral joint is the joint behind the kneecap and is often aggravated with stair climbing and running. Here is a link for that video. ua-cam.com/video/bjHD-sYTFp4/v-deo.htmlsi=pL61L5n8PTaA18Sw My book has a more comprehensive program for this issue in the knee chapter. Here is an Amazon link for my book, if you want to learn more about it. a.co/d/7ioJk5h
It is entertaining! Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for sharing new information
My pleasure!
My knees hurt when i go up the stairs and when I do squats. I do most of these exercises, but I didn't know about the heel slide. I've never had a knee injury or an mri. Is it okay to exercise one leg more than another if you know that leg is weaker? I typically use my right leg to get up off the floor, so now I'm trying to use my left leg more. I think it makes sense. Thanks ❤😊
Those activities are commonly associated with anterior (front) knee pain. You might find the other exercises in my video below to help helpful. Yes, it is OK to put more focus into the weaker leg. ua-cam.com/video/Xi8g08o2Xv4/v-deo.htmlsi=sSjWGDceu_JBlDSk
@@RehabScience yep, you're right! I just watched the video a couple times. Those exercises look hard,, lol,, but i' ll try. I don't own a band or step though. You're a good balancer!
I have pain traveling from my hip to inner thigh and causes pain and weakness in back of my knee. Is that Femoral or sciatic? Regardless I’m trying this- thanks for the video!❤
After one year of seaching, i found this vedio related my pain. Same like this i have pain right side of back while sitting poor posture. It does not rediates down my legs, but front of abdomen rediates. I have MRI report and x-ray report but all are normal.And i have vedio x-ray also normal. No one doctors could not understanding my pain. Doctors just says sciatica. Can you say about it what type of pain i have?
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

How do I know if I have this or referred pain from cervical spinal stenosis C5 C6 issues? Thank you!
It’s definitely important to rule out referral from the neck. We have specific tests we would utilize if you came into physical therapy. Otherwise, you would want to pay attention to whether or not neck movements aggravate your shoulder symptoms. You can also try the exercises in my cervical stenosis video below. If they help improve your shoulder symptoms, then you may be experiencing some referral from the neck. ua-cam.com/video/NUd1BkRxni8/v-deo.htmlsi=Nadopfw5Lyv9y1cD
This was really interesting. I’ve had issues doing overhead press for awhile (to the point that I stopped doing it). I wonder if this is the issue (though I did have an acute injury on either side; Crowdsurfer at a concert landed on me while my arm was overhead on one side and other side my front shoulder/pec area had a small pop and pain doing a 2 hand single dumbbell behind the head press). Love your work btw! You deserve way more views.
Thank you for checking out this episode! I’m glad to hear that you found it to be interesting. Based on what you described, your symptoms definitely could be related to subacromial pain syndrome. Because you felt a pop in one shoulder and the other shoulder experienced a trauma, you would also want to rule out a rotator cuff tear and a labral tear. Both of these would be identified with an MRI. If your symptoms aren’t super severe, then I would just focus on strengthening your rotator cuff and scapular stabilizers. I have a few videos on these areas and my book has more comprehensive programs. You can check my shoulder playlist here on UA-cam. Here is a link for my book, if you want to check it out as well. a.co/d/fSLlVgY
Thank you so much. This has been such a great great great lecture. You are the best. Thank you. :)
You’re welcome! I’m so glad to hear that the lecture was helpful!
Holy shit it's Roger daltrey
My doc said absolutely NO hopping around or jumping
These are not the exercises you would start with. For an acute ankle sprain, the exercises in my video below would be more appropriate. ua-cam.com/video/TQbB6lFva_s/v-deo.htmlsi=Vh1ctXXLqf5C-tH8
My foot drop has strong force down , thus I can stretch my ankle down but not up will I regain strength its sooo shameful walking around like that.
I have alot of swelling on my arm in this point however tlultrasound showed nothing. Could this be from cubital tunnel?
Thank you very much for clear explanations.
You’re welcome!
For chronic pain, I suggest meditation. That helped me a lot.
Yes, I agree. Mediation can be a very powerful strategy when treating chronic pain.
Bro I am 16 hitting the gym and I just got this pain for the first time doing biceps. Please tell me am I gonna be ok or not? Am I gonna feel this pain forever? It’s literally in the same spot, its not the spine. I feel it’s on the right side of the spine but I feel like its not rib but rather something lil deeper than rib.. I am so scared doc pls help!
Okay so... a few extra chapter markers would be great 1:52 Level 1 3:22 Level 2 4:24 Level 3

My leg is paining me now
I have pain from the side of my knee to ankle and can't stand very long. Will these exercises help?
Great video!
Will try this out
Super combinations Dr 👩⚕️ Can we fix all cases? M agree with your grading system- mild, moderate and severe. Impingement means might be because of many cases inside that specific space
Most cases do resolve with rehab. In some resistant cases, a cortisone injection may be helpful. In more severe cases, a rotator cuff repair or subacromial decompression may be necessary.
Thank you. I felt instant relief and the numbness subsided. I felt the circulation in my hands throughout the exercises.
That’s so great to hear!
Thanks so much! I love your podcast - and your book. My daughter (Karly) is your biggest fan. I have had shoulder issues for over a year and will be starting over from page 1 in your book. My biggest pain is the 90°/90° with my right arm to the side and up. I can barely get it to 90/90. I’m secretly hoping I run into you guys when picking up Kara this week!😊 Thanks for all you do to help us all!
You’re so welcome! Please say ‘hi’ to Karly for me! The 90/90 position is often a challenging one for people. You might find the exercises in the videos below to be helpful. The first video has a shoulder external rotation stretch in the 90/90 position. The second video includes strengthening exercises with one being in the 90/90 position. The rotator cuff and frozen shoulder programs in my book also include these exercises. ua-cam.com/video/GaiBcI4BelM/v-deo.htmlsi=mbqrbZCuF1XFp-Mc ua-cam.com/video/jJo1CbgXb_A/v-deo.htmlsi=TUOMcoE7Exx9WTNN
Have you ever tried castor oil as an analgesic? I rub it on myself every night before bed. Just a suggestion!
I haven’t used it myself, but I have had patients that found that oil to be helpful.
Hi Tom and Kirsten! I'm 61 and thankfully have never had any shoulder issues. I listened anyway. I do my exercises and stretches every morning. I get up at 4. I've been using the dumbbells too and I know I'm getting stronger. I have created a David Cassidy Playlist I enjoy!😅❤
Thank you for listening! So glad that you are starting to implement resistance training exercises with your dumbbells. There are so many benefits from resistance training (increased muscle mass, bone density, cardiovascular and brain benefits).
@@RehabScience brain benefits!??
@@kimalonzo3363 Cognitive benefits (improved memory and cognitive function) are associated with exercise, including resistance training. Here is a research article that explains some of these benefits. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10017453/

I'm trying to buy the online rehab consultation but says out of stock ?
Do i need to do each one of these or is it ok if i start with the pushup version since i can do it just fine.
I would pick one and focus on improving with just one movement at first.
I developed it in my right shoulder as I lost weight, no idea why but it's getting better.
Probably just a coincidence that it developed at the same time as the weight loss. I’m glad to hear your symptoms are improving!
@@RehabScience yeah, probably just coincidence, I have the luxury of working with both orthopedic surgeons and PTs and they gave some pointers and tips and now it's far better.
Thank you sir for giving a clear picture about shoulder impingement
You’re welcome! I’m glad the episode was helpful.
74 yr old female here with 2x rotator cuff tears the left being bone on bone and requiring reverse shoulder replacement asap. I have impingement from shoulder and down both arms. Left was only able to be moved to about 90 degrees. 2 days prior to scheduled surgery on 4/24/23, I had a digestive disorder requiring an ecrp with a temp stent placed. During the surgery the nusing staff log rolled me and possibly raised my left arm over my head to keep pressure off my arms when I was first asleep. I did warn them. As I said, my arm cannot be raised w/o severe pain. A day or so after the surgery I began to have more severe pain in my left shoulder and down the left arm. At this writing, I am only able to raise it to about 45 degrees w/o extreme pain even with pain pills. I have to have the temp stent removed in about 2 months before my shoulder replacement and am afraid the surgical nurses will give me another flare up How should they move someone like me to the xray gastro table without causing a flare up??? I think it's a sheet-slide from table to table.
Wow, I hope the nurses are more careful next time moving you! I am sorry you have so much pain.❤😢
Sorry to hear that your shoulder was made worse during this procedure. It can be very challenging to transfer a patient who has a shoulder pain issue going on. With individuals who have pain in overhead positions, we would usually tell them to keep their arm at their side with the elbow bent and hand on their stomach (sling position). However, this may not be ideal for the surgical staff. I would explain the situation to them and see if they can keep your shoulder in a different position.
@@RehabScience Thanks so much for the suggestion. It is their job to keep the patient safe and free from injury during transport and movement.

Shoulder impingement is an older diagnosis that was thought to be due to a pinching or impinging of the rotator cuff (supraspinatus) tendon, biceps tendon or subacromial bursa. Pain would typically occur when lifting the arm away from the body and overhead. Over time, the name of this diagnosis was changed to ‘subacromial pain syndrome’ as it became evident that most people have some degree of impingement and many never develop symptoms. Like numerous other pain disorders, the pathophysiology of this disorder has been found to be more complex and should not be thought of as a simple, mechanical phenomenon.

I get a stiff neck doing a lot of these ,I had neck surgery and wondered if I should do these to repair the supraspinatus tear in both ... I'll be buying your book as don't want more surgery
These can cause some neck stiffness in people when their supraspinatus is injured as it is common to compensate with other shoulder girdle muscles (upper trapezius especially) that connect to the neck and skull.

Can dry needling help with thif
Some people do find dry needling to be helpful. It might be worth trying.
The dips are the most tolerable. The pushdown is painful. I have bursitis as well so I may just need surgery. I've tried every rehab for a year and it's a little better but still extremely painful. Thanks for the advice, I'll keep experimenting with things
Loved this! As an SPT, this was very helpful. Thank you very much 😊 i also know that it is really difficult to distinguish between subacromial impingement vs rotator cuff tendinopathy, and I was wondering if you came across any particular differences in the clinic yourself
So glad you enjoyed the episode! Unfortunately, the special tests for differentiating between those two issues aren't great. Plus, rotator cuff tendinopathy can create positive shoulder impingement signs. I don't worry too much about differentiating between them as the treatment strategy is pretty much the same in either case.
Does this help with inner elbow pain? Or is there a separate video for that one
For pain on the inside of the elbow, you would want to train the muscles on the opposite side of the forearm. Here is a link for a video that shows how to do this. ua-cam.com/video/yTPQEW1aTTI/v-deo.htmlsi=B1P2BYS8TzfJnWUo
