If I had a torn meniscus I would probably work with a good PT that has experience there, and maybe work through the exercises in this book with that PT at least a couple times to see what works and what doesn't, and what may be most beneficial. Good luck!

I have a torn meniscus and have decided to not have surgery, at least not yet. thanks I just came across this book, and I am wondering if it gives helpful exercises for dealing with known conditions as well.
