Stability and Strength in the Knee: Maritato discusses the importance of recognizing and respecting your body's signals, especially on days when your knee feels unstable due to the meniscus tear.
Swelling and Pain Management: He elaborates on how to manage knee swelling and pain, emphasizing the variability of symptoms and the importance of nutrition and possible supplements to support joint health.
Long-term Considerations: The focus shifts to understanding the long-term impact of running with a meniscus tear. He highlights the importance of listening to your body to avoid aggravating the injury, and adjusting your exercise routine accordingly.
Impact of Running vs Other Exercises: Maritato compares running with other low-impact exercises that can maintain cardiovascular fitness without stressing the knee. He shares his personal preference for running, balanced with the need to avoid further injury.
Throughout the video, Maritato, a 49-year-old avid runner who personally experiences a meniscus tear, combines his professional expertise with personal anecdotes. This provides a unique blend of scientific knowledge and real-world experience, making the video an invaluable resource for runners facing similar challenges.

Hello Dr I am suffering from grade 1 anterior root of lateral meniscus tear . It's been a year now but my meniscus is not healed . It has very little swelling and stiffness. I can run pain free but stiffness is not going. Should I continue my running?

[@totaltherapysolutions]

I can’t give direct advice but when my knee allows me to run well then swells afterwards I need to better manage my recovery. I either take a couple extra days between runs or I shorten each run to avoid the after run swelling.
