Meniscus Surgery Rehabilitation
The right rehab after meniscus surgery restores your knee's strength and movement while protecting the repair. Because recovery differs significantly depending on whether your meniscus was trimmed or repaired, your programme needs to match your specific operation — which is exactly how we plan it.

Meniscectomy vs meniscus repair
These two operations have very different timelines:
- After a meniscectomy (trimming), recovery is usually quicker and weight-bearing progresses sooner
- After a meniscus repair (stitching), the repair needs more protection and progresses more gradually
We adapt your rehab to your exact procedure and your surgeon’s guidance, and give you a realistic timeline at your assessment.
What rehab involves
- Restoring full, pain-free range of movement
- Rebuilding quadriceps and hamstring strength
- Improving balance and control
- Returning you to work, exercise and sport safely
