Can I exercise with a meniscal tear?

Whether or not you can exercise with a meniscal tear depends on the severity and location of the tear and the type of treatment you had. 

Low-impact activities such as swimming, walking, and gentle cycling may be okay, but avoid high-impact exercise like running, jumping, or heavy lifting until your consultant gives you the all-clear. 

Talk to your consultant or physiotherapist about activities you can do and those you should avoid with a meniscus tear.
