Strengthening for Meniscus Problems

Season 1 Episode 54 of Running to the Castle Podcast w/ Dr. Ali Marty

In this episode of Running to the Castle I’m talking about what to do and what to avoid when doing strength workouts as a runner with meniscus tears.

When you’re doing strength workouts and you have meniscus tears or problems there are a few things you want to be mindful of doing:

  • deep bending

  • plant and twist movements

  • deep bending during a flare

I discuss exactly what types of exercises include the movements listed above so you can be careful doing them you know which exercises that includes.
