What is the meniscus?
Two C-shaped cartilage pads in each knee that cushion and stabilise the joint. Degenerative tears are common with age and often symptomless.
How we manage it
Modern evidence favours conservative rehab for most degenerative tears. We settle symptoms, restore range, and build quad, hamstring and glute strength. Osteopath Mitcham — hands-on osteopathy at Lifestyle Essentials, 503 Whitehorse Road, Mitcham.
