I recently had the pleasure of joining Hilary Topper on her podcast, Hilary Topper on Air, to discuss two of the most common knee injuries I treat: ACL and meniscus tears. Whether you are training for a marathon or simply want to enjoy a walk around the city, understanding these injuries is the first step toward a successful recovery.
In this episode, we dive into the anatomy of the knee, how to choose between surgical and non-surgical treatments, and the mental dedication needed to get back to your active lifestyle. I also share specific prevention tips and patient exercises designed to help you strengthen your joints and reduce the risk of future injury.
