Exercise to prevent and recover from a meniscus tear

Are your knees caving inward during squats, lunges, or everyday movement? This banded step-over exercise addresses the ROOT cause of knee collapse, not just the symptom.

🦵 WHO THIS IS FOR
✅ History of meniscus tears
✅ MCL irritation or strain
✅ Knees that collapse inward during activity
✅ Foot pronation or pelvic instability

🔬 WHY KNEES COLLAPSE
When your knee falls inward, it increases pressure on the inner compartment, grinding the meniscus and overstretching the MCL. Knee collapse is usually caused by foot weakness and pelvic instability, not just a weak knee.

✅ YOU SHOULD FEEL
A burn in your foot arch and outer hip. No strain in the knee. If you feel knee strain, you are pushing with the knee instead of using your foot and pelvis.
