How can you treat patients who experience knee pain and swelling during and after running? If you suspect their symptoms are caused by a meniscal injury, how can you rehab and return these patients to running without surgery?
In this Physio Edge: Running repairs podcast with Tom Goom, you’ll explore meniscal injuries in runners, recent research on runners with meniscal tears, and how to provide effective non-surgical management. You’ll discover:
- Initial steps for managing pain and swelling in affected runners.
- Techniques to restore and maintain range of movement.
- Strategies for rebuilding strength in key muscle groups.
- Approaches to improve impact control and tolerance, preparing runners for a gradual return to their sport.
- When to manage these patients non-surgically, and when to refer for a surgical opinion.
Tom explores the physical aspects of recovery, along with the impact of general health, weight management, and gait retraining on knee health. With a realistic timeline for recovery and a focus on individualised treatment plans, this podcast is a must-listen for therapists who treat runners.
