Episode 12 - Dealing with knee injury - Alex’s Story

Today we talk to Alex. She had a knee injury and mensical tear after a workout. We eventually decided that it was best to send her for surgery. Fortunately she has recovered well and is now back to full fitness and exercise.

She tells us how her knee pain started, how it is was initially misdiagnosed as a hamstring injury and how we were able to get her the correct treatment.

This episode covers:

- The different causes of knee pain and the importance of getting the diagnosis correct.

- Meniscal tears and how they happen

- When meniscal tears require intervention or surgery

- How to recover and rehabilitate from a mensical tear

- The impact of knee injury on exercise
