Meniscus injury massage therapy TorontoMeniscus Injuries

When you tear a meniscus, it hurts. This page covers the period around a meniscus injury — whether you end up needing imaging, a repair, or manage it without surgery.

Not a diagnosis — for more information, contact me or another trusted healthcare provider.

The early focus is stabilizing the knee and preventing further damage, adjusting sports and routines to reduce meniscus risk, and strengthening the muscles around the knee for stability in daily tasks. Time off the leg, maybe on crutches, causes tightness all around — massage helps relieve the back and neck discomfort that comes from crutch use.

People with meniscus injuries often feel a little lost in their planning, and I've been there myself. The focus is on what you can control: gentle, non-aggravating strengthening that prepares you for whatever road to recovery comes next.
