Torn Meniscus? We can help.

A torn meniscus is one of the most common knee injuries and is often caused by twisting or rotating the knee during sport, or from wear and tear over time.  If  you’ve been diagnosed with a meniscal tear, you might be wondering if surgery is your best option.  The good news is, in most cases, it’s not.

At Castle Hill Physiotherapy & Sports Injuries Centre, we provide evidence-informed physiotherapy approaches to manage meniscal injuries without the need for surgery.  In fact, research increasingly shows that surgical procedures like arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (removal of the torn part of the meniscus) is often not the best option.  Some studies even suggest that this type of surgery can accelerate the development of osteoarthritis in the knee joint, particularly in middle-aged and older adults. 

Why Choose Physiotherapy?

Conservative management of meniscal injuries with physiotherapy has proven to be highly effective in reducing pain, restoring function, and promoting long-term knee health.

Our experienced musculoskeletal physiotherapists have helped many clients successfully recover from meniscal tears.  Using a combination of manual therapy, targeted strengthening exercises, and individualised education, we focus on helping you achieve your personal goals by:

• Reducing knee pain
• Improving joint mobility and strength
• Promoting natural healing and function
• Preventing further injury

With the right rehabilitation plan, you can regain confidence in your knee and return to the activities you enjoy.
