Meniscus Repair Rehab | Isleworth Pain and Injury

Meniscus Repair or Removal Rehabilitation

Whether you've had a torn meniscus repaired or partially removed, the surgery is only half the story. What truly determines your return to walking, running, or playing sports without pain is your rehabilitation.

At Isleworth Pain and Injury Clinic, we provide targeted, progressive post-operative rehab that helps you regain mobility, reduce pain, and rebuild strength in the knee. With expert guidance and a personalised care plan, we support you from day one of recovery through to full function.

Understanding The Meniscus—And Why Rehab Is Essential

The meniscus is a vital shock-absorbing cartilage in your knee. Injury to it can impact walking, stability, and even standing for long periods. After surgery, your knee joint needs the right mix of rest, guided movement, and strengthening to heal correctly and avoid re-injury.

Without proper rehabilitation:

Scar tissue may limit mobility
Muscle imbalances can lead to pain or limping
The risk of future injury increases significantly

That’s why a structured, hands-on rehab plan is key to your long-term recovery.

Our Meniscus Rehab Approach at Isleworth Pain and Injury Clinic

Your treatment plan is tailored to your surgery type—whether it was a meniscus repair (which usually requires a slower, more protected recovery) or a partial meniscectomy (which typically has a quicker timeline).

Our focus is on:

Pain relief and swelling control in the early stages
Restoring range of motion in the knee without overstressing the healing tissue
Gradual strength training, especially for the quadriceps, hamstrings, and hips
Balance and proprioception work to restore stability
Gait retraining to help you walk correctly and confidently again
Return-to-sport or daily activity guidance once strength and control return

How We Help With Chiropractic Care & Physiotherapy

We take a multidisciplinary approach to rehab at Isleworth Pain and Injury Clinic.

Physiotherapy helps restore strength, flexibility, and functional movement through guided exercises and manual therapy.

Chiropractic care supports joint alignment, reduces compensatory strain on the hips or lower back, and improves overall biomechanics.

Together, these approaches reduce pain, speed up healing, and give you the confidence to return to doing what you love, without worrying about your knee.
