Meniscus Tear

Knee Locking? Clicking? Don’t Ignore It — Heal Your Meniscus the Right Way

A sudden twist of the knee while playing football… a deep squat gone wrong at the gym… or even gradual wear over years — all can result in one thing: a meniscus tear. This is one of the most common knee injuries that can cause pain, swelling, stiffness, and mechanical symptoms like locking or catching in the joint.

At Physio Ace Physiotherapy & Sports Rehab Clinic, we offer a comprehensive, non-surgical rehab approach for meniscus injuries — designed to reduce pain, improve function, and help you return to your activities stronger and smarter. Whether your tear is traumatic or degenerative, our physiotherapy protocol addresses not just the knee — but your entire movement pattern.

What is the Meniscus?

Your knee joint has two C-shaped discs of cartilage called the menisci — the medial meniscus (inner side) and the lateral meniscus (outer side). These act as shock absorbers, stabilizers, and lubricators within the knee joint. They distribute body weight across the joint and help it move smoothly.

A meniscus tear occurs when this cartilage is damaged, split, or torn, leading to pain and functional limitations. It can be the result of:
  • A traumatic injury (common in athletes)
  • Age-related degeneration (wear-and-tear)
  • Improper movement or load
  • Squatting or twisting under load
