A member asked:
Does swimming exacerbate meniscus tear pain in the knee?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually: Swimming can often be a fantastatic exercise for patients with knee injuries and patients suffering from arthritis. The water reduces the amount of pressure placed across the joint with activity. Aqua therapy is often a useful adjunct to a successful injury recovery program.
