Your Meniscus is a vital structure within the knee and acts to help absorb shock. It is therefore vitally important that any injury to this structure is treated with the upmost importance as failure to address this area can result in long term problems later down the line.  Not only does the meniscus provide shock absorbing properties, it is also has a major function in the proprioception of the knee.  If this is altered or damaged then it can lead to instability of the knee and this instability can result in a faster deterioration of the meniscus structure themselves, leading to things such as Osteoarthritis or Total Knee Replacements.

Meniscus Tear Rehabilitation Specialists North London

Most surgical intervention now involves treatment around meniscus repair as opposed to meniscus removal. After surgery it is vital to have a robust and structured plan in place. Here at Bodylogics we help guide you through the whole process with expert clinicians who follow strict protocols.

As a general rule we follow our own internal protocol which is supported with evidence and gives you a clear, open set of guidelines that you should expect to see over the weeks and months. Our protocols are shared with you from the very start, before you even book, so that you can see for yourself what you can expect and know where your expected outcomes should be.

Contrary to popular belief, most meniscal injuries heal very well with conservative care.  The only time surgery is usually required is when true mechanical locking occurs.  This is when the knee actually locks in place and cannot be moved.  It is important to not confuse this with clicking noises (which can be a common sign and symptom of meniscal injury).  The final decision will lie with you though on your choice.  Your surgeon and our team of specialists can help provide you with the answers to questions you may have but ultimately it is a choice made by you as the patient after the advice and information is given.

We say it all the time, honesty is everything.  You can be confident that we are on your side and we want what is best for you.  Our advice and guidance is based on experience and evidence based research.  Anything we ask of you will always be supported by research and any questions or concerns you may have will always be discussed in a mutual team environment.  By working with us, you are in control.  We are the support team, alongside your surgeon, who work to get you back to your best.

We know this is a hard choice and one of great importance but we are so confident that you are in the right hands that we show our cards from the start.  Our meniscus tear rehabilitation protocol is shared from the start and made public for the exact reason that you can see, before you even visit us, what you can expect. We pride ourselves on being open and honest in everything that we do and we want you to be sure and confident when selecting your chosen partner on your journey that you have made the right decision.

We are on hand for first or second opinion help with your final decision.  Our links with various orthopaedic clinics in and around central London mean we work very closely with a large number of these and we regularly meet with future patients to discuss the expected outcomes and to discuss any concerns they may have about their recovery.  We are also renowned for sitting down and meeting with surgeons to ask any questions that you may have missed, with us by your side, to make sure that you have all the answers you need to make the decision which is best for you.  If you wished to book a consultation or to meet speak with a specialist member of our team than please feel free to contact us directly or complete our enquiry form on this page.

We look forward to working with you in the near future.
