What We Treat — South Surrey, BC

Meniscus Surgery Rehab

Rehab after meniscus surgery — whether a repair or a partial meniscectomy — restores knee strength and control while respecting the healing tissue.

What it is

Understanding meniscus surgery rehab

Rehab after meniscus surgery — whether a repair or a partial meniscectomy — restores knee strength and control while respecting the healing tissue. The two procedures follow quite different timelines.

Common symptoms

  • Post-surgical swelling and stiffness
  • Difficulty fully bending or straightening the knee
  • Quadriceps weakness
  • Discomfort with stairs or squatting
  • Hesitancy returning to sport or activity

Common causes

  • Recent meniscus repair or partial meniscectomy
  • Post-operative weight-bearing restrictions (repairs)
  • Swelling limiting muscle activation
  • The original injury mechanism

How we treat it

Our approach at Mvmt Theory

Meniscectomy rehab progresses quickly through swelling management and strengthening; repairs require a more protective early phase before loading. Either way, we rebuild quadriceps strength, restore full range, and take you through return-to-activity testing before you're cleared for sport.
