Understanding Medial/Lateral Meniscus Tear/Post-Arthroscopic Rehab
Meniscal tears can cause pain, swelling, and limited knee motion, sometimes requiring surgery. Reliefic Physiotherapy evaluates knee range of motion, muscle strength, and gait patterns. Treatment focuses on restoring mobility, strengthening surrounding muscles, improving movement control, and post-surgical rehabilitation exercises to optimize recovery.

- Pain & Swelling ManagementUse ice, compression, and elevation to control knee swelling and manage pain during the acute or early post-surgical phase.
- Early Range of Motion & MobilityRestore full knee flexion and extension through progressive mobility exercises within weight-bearing and range precautions.
