meniscus tears in the knee can limit function a lot. many people that get tears or injury to the knee joint look at injections and surgery options that are not necessary to get back to normal function with limited pain. the meniscus sometimes needs surgery but more times than not it doesn't need to be operated on to get back to function without pain. I will discuss of a few of my patients with meniscus tears that were able to conservatively rehab their knees and avoid surgery and other drugs to mask pain. if you have knee pain from a meniscus this is a good podcast to listen to before deciding on surgery options.

Many people that have not exercised in a long time struggle to get back in shape. Many push themselves too hard out of the gate and lead to injuries. others are injured and do not know how to resume exercise again without worsening their pain. this physical suffering can lead to weight gain and general depression on how we look and feel. one of the most important parts about returning to exercise after injury or after prolonged time away from exercise is establishing a proper baseline of exercise resistance and duration. if you do not create a correct strength baseline it becomes very difficult to bet back to exercise and fitness after a injury or after prolonged time away. In todays Podcast I will discuss how to succeed with reestablishing a baseline and how to progress off your baseline to achieve your straight and fitness goals without reinjury risk. Enjoy!
