Season 1 Episode 54 of Running to the Castle Podcast w/ Dr. Ali Marty

In this episode of Running to the Castle I’m talking about what to do and what to avoid when doing strength workouts as a runner with meniscus tears.

When you’re doing strength workouts and you have meniscus tears or problems there are a few things you want to be mindful of doing:

  • deep bending

  • plant and twist movements

  • deep bending during a flare

I discuss exactly what types of exercises include the movements listed above so you can be careful doing them you know which exercises that includes.

I worked in the typical outpatient clinic with active men and women with orthopedic injuries (shin splints, Achilles tendonitis, muscle and ligament tears, knee pain, IT Band pain, plantar fasciitis, and hip and knee arthritis until 2018 at which point I started Mobile Physical Therapy in Las Vegas, Nevada.
