    Great video giving options besides surgery. No we can’t heal it, but it can heal itself. New research is changing our understanding of how quickly collagen re-synthesis can occur. Spoiler alert, given the right dietary supplementation and adaption stimulus, it can be accelerated beyond what was previously thought.
    I am an ultra runner who suffered a minor meniscus tear a few years ago (54 years of age at the time). The doctor recommended surgery and was ready to book it. I declined and managed my training effort and it healed itself.
    Remember the only thing that can heal the body is the body itself, all we can do is change the context of that healing.

    A friend used your videos for "prehab" as she calls it before knee replacement surgery. She recommended them to me when I told her my doctor suspected I tore my meniscus. I am a big believer in exercise and physical therapy over surgery and loved that you are too. Your exercises are clear and understandable and I can do some of them at work over my lunch break too. Thank you for making this accessible.

I am getting help from a physical therapist and I trust your videos since she is prescribing many exercises that you demonstrate. Your videos help me to stay motivated and also remind me how to do the exercises properly.

    So helpful! As Jessica says in the video, my meniscus injury "acts up" and makes my knee unstable every couple of years when it folds or shifts. So frustrating but I'm glad there are exercises like this so that I don't have to have surgery. Not a fan of getting cut open over small things I could overcome with self-help. Thanks for the video! 🙂

    I have a complex meniscus tear. Did these exercises between my first ortho appointment and my MRI follow up. By the time my follow up came around, I was in no pain. So no surgery necessary. I just did something to it again, so here I am, back for more! Hopefully I can avoid the ortho altogether this time.

    After a MT experience, I was recommended surgery two years ago. But I was looking for an alternative. I just stopped my gym and started walk. Four months ago I fell accidentally and had severe pain. My PT suggested few exercises. First two you suggested I am doing already. Will include last one in my routine. I do these twice a day, morning and night. I feel so much better thanks God. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise.

    I had an injury six months ago-well, a simple fall/trip/turn and instantly knew something was wrong. But the pain got better and I avoided going to the doctor. I guess I stupidly thought I could get through the injury. Finally saw my doc and was referred to orthopedic and PT. I found this and did all of your exercises, I hope this helps and I can walk normally again. I need to lose weight as well as this has been a major wake up call for me. I’ll update in a few weeks!!! But your video was great and easy to follow!

    @davidburkholder7360 Рік тому +2

    My knee locked on me a couple days ago and the pain was so severe that I immediately went to the ground and broke out in a cold sweat. For two days I have not been able to bend it back or even straighten it out (always have had some trouble bending it back as well as my right knee as I did have arthroscopic surgery on my left knee in my 20's) and to not be able to straighten it out was wierd. Anyway scheduling an appointment tmrw with Ortho One in Columbus BUT I tried your simple three exercises and my knee realigned, is straight now and totally back to normal. This correction was so startling that I would nearly call it a miracle. Wow, you know your stuff. Thank you!!!

    Absolutely superb video! I have watched few over the last few day since injuring my left knee. My General Practitioner thinks it is a meniscal tear (and refreshingly didn't want to refer me to surgery but suggested it would get better with time and the RICE approach) but it could also be an MCL strain/tear. I just knew from the moment I started watching it that I felt I could trust your expertise and you have obviously taken the time to record the video in such a way that makes it easy to follow. I am going to incorporate these three exercises in my daily stretches for knee arthritis that I have. Thank you so much Jessica. Mike 🙂

    Hi there, I am 16 years old and have been injuring my knee for about 4 years now. About once every two months I feel pain in my right knee but have been able to walk it off. However the other day while playing basketball with my brothers I felt excruciating pain in my knee again, I couldn't walk it off this time, and I couldn't even stand on it. long story short I went to the hospital and they told me it was a torn meniscus!! I didn't even know what that was. And all I could think about was not being able to walk properly again. I had to leave the hospital with crutches. however after watching your video and doing these exercises for a couple days now, I feel much better. I plan to still take it easy and continue these exercises, thank you so much for the help!

    Jessica, thank you for this post. I am a repeat meniscus tear offender. I have been able to regain full strength and motion in left knee and resume running and triathlon but now have a recurring right knee medial tear. I appreciate that you are giving simple exercises and the appropriate number of reps per day. I am swimming only until this heals but then plan to cycle and then run. I will not have surgery and have read some hopeful information by several Dr.s on cartilage growing .

    Thank you for this. I have been in physical therapy for a few weeks. Getting an MRI soon to check things. I'm all for physical therapy. I will add you exercises to what I am doing now. I have been doing a lot of low impact exercise on the stationary bike too. Seems like that helps more than anything. I am making progress. I like your 6 month minimum for therapy. I know many studies have been done that favor therapy over surgery saying that the results are just as good if not better.

    I am 72 and have ran 55+ marathons and over 30 half and one high mountain ultra. Always had issue with left knee and had meniscus surgery years ago. Knee pain has returned. These exercises plus Jessica’s full knee exercises have already eased the pain. Straight tracking is the key. Be patient in recovery. Swim a month or so bike a month or so. Do these knee exercises every day before you train. Then go to a marathon training program with extensive cross training. I recommend Don Fink’s Bare Bones marathon training plan and Jessica’s knee stretching routine. See you on the road and trails again. George Harris Montana
