I have a client that tore her lateral meniscus. It was not a really
bad tear though, because she does not need surgery. She just wants to
make it stronger.
Lateral Meniscus is cartilage in the semicircular ring that that
acts as a shock absorber for the bones. You can make it stronger when
it is time to do so. The best way to make it stronger is to build up
the muscles around it. I'm gonna put together a basic program for
someone that wanted to make their knee a bit stronger. There are a few
exercises that work great for strengthing the knees.
Leg extension
Squats with light weights/ done partially don't go all the way down
Lunges with light weights/ done partially don't go all the way down
The bridge, laying down on back pushing up torso
Calve raises, building up the calve muscle helps keep knee in alignment
Leg curls, building up surrounding muscles will give the knee more balance
Proper stretching will help the knee also, hold stretches for at least a 10-20 count
Ham stretch, put one leg in front of the other and bend to touch toes, legs to should right ankle to left ankle
Quad stretch, pull leg backwards so your knee is bent
