Thinking Matters Symposium Archive

The purpose of this review is to produce a nonsurgical treatment plan for meniscus injuries using therapeutic exercise, to eventually prepare the athlete for return to play after the sustained injury.

The treatment plan was designed for a soccer player who had a partially torn meniscus.
