Knee Ligament and Meniscus Injury Rehabilitation in Burlington
Ligament and meniscus injuries need structured rehabilitation to restore stability and confidence, whether or not surgery is involved.
Understanding the condition
About knee ligament & meniscus injuries
The ligaments of the knee, including the ACL and MCL, provide stability, while the menisci act as shock absorbers. Injuries often occur during twisting, pivoting or direct contact in sport. Some injuries are managed without surgery; others require reconstruction or repair. In either case, rehabilitation is essential to rebuild strength, control and confidence before returning to sport.
Common symptoms
- A pop or tearing sensation at the time of injury
- Rapid swelling
- The knee giving way
- Locking or catching
- Difficulty fully straightening or bending the knee
Common causes
- Pivoting or cutting in sport
- Awkward landings from a jump
- Direct blows to the knee
- Deep squatting or twisting under load
- Age-related meniscus degeneration
