IS IT OKAY TO RUN AFTER A MENISCUS TEAR?
Â
The meniscus is one of the most common knee structures to be injured. Damage to the meniscus can result from trauma, either from sports or recreational activities that involve high impact twisting motions and running.
In the older adult, the tear could be from age-related degradation of the meniscus.
Depending on the level and severity of your meniscus pain, you can often continue running. Many runners end up back on the road after meniscus tears. If in doubt, consult a medical professional.
A good knee brace for an advanced meniscus tear and pain is the GenuTrain S, which is a hinged knee support that provides extra stability.
Our Sports Compression Socks Run & Walk, worn by ultra runner Hilary (@thehilaryann) have helped elite athletes recover faster after their runs to prevent potential knee and leg injuries.Â
