Knee Surgery vs Physical Therapy for Active Adults | Overcoming Meniscus Injuries
Meniscus tears and overcoming knee injuries does not necessarily mean surgery.
In this episode of the Past Your Prime Podcast, physical therapist Craig Smith and pro volleyball player Alex debunk the myth that a "degenerative meniscus tear" on an MRI exam is a career-ender for athletes and active adults.
Discover why imaging findings often don't match your actual pain, how force absorption and landing mechanics matter more than what the radiologist reports, and the rehab-first framework that keeps active adults competing... not sidelined.
