Could Your Knee Pain Be a Meniscus Injury?

A meniscus problem can make you lose confidence in movements you previously didn’t think twice about.

Common symptoms include:
  • Pain when twisting or changing direction
  • Pain during squatting or deep bending
  • Swelling or stiffness
  • Difficulty fully bending or straightening the knee
  • Clicking or catching
  • Pain running or playing sport
  • Reduced confidence loading the leg

Some people already have an MRI confirming a meniscus tear. Others simply know their knee doesn’t feel right.

Either way, the first step is understanding what’s actually happening.

How We Treat Meniscus Injuries

Our goal isn’t simply to reduce your knee pain. We want to restore the strength and function required for everyday life, training or sport.

Diagnose

We assess your knee movement, strength, stability and symptoms to determine whether your problem is consistent with a meniscus injury.

Treat

We work on reducing pain, improving movement and helping your knee tolerate everyday activity more comfortably.

Correct

We progressively rebuild strength and control around the knee, hip and lower leg.

Enhance

We prepare your knee for walking, running, lifting, changing direction or returning to sport.

Recovery doesn’t finish when the knee hurts less. It finishes when your knee can confidently do what you need it to do.

Your First Appointment

Your first appointment is 60 minutes and designed to give you answers from day one.

We’ll discuss how your symptoms started, assess your knee and relevant movements and explain what we think is causing the problem.

You will receive:
  • Comprehensive knee assessment
  • Clinical testing of relevant knee structures
  • Clear explanation of the likely diagnosis
  • Treatment where appropriate
  • Structured rehabilitation plan
  • Guidance on what you should and shouldn't currently be doing

If further investigation or medical assessment is appropriate, we’ll explain why.

You won’t leave simply being told to rest. You’ll leave understanding the problem and what happens next.

What Is a Meniscus Tear?

The menisci are two C-shaped pieces of fibrocartilage inside the knee that help distribute load through the joint.

Meniscus problems can develop through a sudden twisting injury or gradually over time.

Symptoms commonly include pain, swelling, stiffness and discomfort during twisting, squatting or deep bending.

But a meniscus tear on a scan doesn’t automatically tell us how much of your pain is coming from it or what treatment you need.

That’s why we assess the person and the knee, not simply the scan.

Does a Meniscus Tear Need Surgery?

Not always.

Many meniscus problems can be managed without surgery.

The appropriate pathway depends on how the injury happened, your symptoms, knee function, the type of tear and what you’re trying to return to.

Where appropriate, rehabilitation may include:
  • Managing pain and swelling
  • Restoring knee movement
  • Progressive leg strengthening
  • Balance and control work
  • Gradual progression of squatting and loading
  • Running rehabilitation
  • Change-of-direction and sport-specific work

If we think imaging or further medical assessment is required, we’ll tell you.

Our job isn’t to keep you away from activity. It’s to progressively rebuild what your knee can tolerate.

Meniscus Tear FAQs

Can a meniscus tear heal without surgery?
Many meniscus problems can be successfully managed without surgery, although some require further medical or surgical assessment. Your symptoms, function and type of injury determine the best next steps.
Yes, Physiotherapy can play an important role in many meniscus injuries by restoring movement, strength and control and progressively increasing what the knee can tolerate.
Pain, swelling, stiffness, clicking and pain with twisting can occur with meniscus injuries but aren’t unique to them. A clinical assessment can help determine what is causing your knee pain and if it is a meniscus injury.
Recovery depends on the type of injury, symptoms, treatment pathway and what you’re returning to. We’ll give you a clearer idea of your recovery plan following assessment.
No. Knees can click for several reasons. Clicking accompanied by pain, swelling, locking or reduced function can be signs of a meniscus tear.
