Meniscus Tear Prevention

Treating meniscus injuries properly is important but preventing the injury in the first place and/or preventing re-injury should be your priority. There are a number of things you can do to keep your knees and menisci healthy and prevent further damage.

---

Maintain Strength and Flexibility in the Knee to Reduce Risk

To stabilize your knee joint and increase your range of motion, maintain and build the strength and flexibility of your quadriceps, hamstrings, calf muscles and hip flexors. Strengthening and stretching exercises will help to keep your knee strong and supple to reduce the risk of injury.

In addition, balancing exercises will help retrain your position or "joint sense". A regular exercise program that focuses on total body fitness and includes low-impact aerobic activity such as walking, swimming or biking will also strengthen your knee and keep you healthy overall.

Always Warm Up

Your body is less prone to injury during exercise when your heart, muscles and joints are gently warmed ahead of time. To protect your knees, warm up and cool down your leg muscles before and after working them, and learn the proper techniques for your activity. You can use the TShellz Wrap^® to help warm up the area prior to an activity.

Use Proper Equipment

Invest in footwear that fits properly and is suitable for your activities or sports. Cushioning in the shoes will help to keep your knees stable during activity and reduce some of the impact. If your knee is weak or unstable, a knee brace, strapping or taping can provide extra support. When kneeling, wear knee pads to protect your joint from damage.

Avoid Activities That Cause Pain

If you are experiencing knee pain during any activity, stop and see a doctor to find out why. Listen to your body and decrease, modify and/or avoid any activities or motions that cause pain and irritation (twisting, squatting, kneeling, jumping, heavy lifting, climbing and running, walking on uneven terrain). If you are required to perform these motions at work or play and cannot avoid them, make sure you take frequent breaks and rest your knees to prevent fatigue.

Avoid Doing too Much too Soon

Following a knee injury, give your body an opportunity to build up its endurance. Progress through exercises gradually and work slowly when increasing the load or intensity. Allow your body adequate time to recover after exercise to repair any soft tissue damage that may have occurred. You can use a TShellz Wrap^® for faster repair of the underlying tissue.

Meniscus Tear and Knee Pain Treatments

It is the blood in your body that heals and repairs damage to your tissue. By transporting oxygen and nutrients to the area and flushing away dead tissue, your blood helps your body to heal itself. Unfortunately, when a meniscus injury occurs and you have knee pain you need to prevent further injury and rest the area to allow it to heal. By resting, you actually limit the flow of blood and slow the healing process. The trick is to slow tissue damage, reduce scar tissue, and generate blood flow to speed healing and prevent further damage.
