The Meniscus Protocol Blueprint
the difference between a degenerative and traumatic tear, and why a tear on a scan doesn't always mean a tear is the cause of your pain
HUMAN DYNAMIX · KNEE PROTOCOLS
A meniscus tear is not a reason to stop moving.
Multiple randomised trials have found exercise therapy works as well as arthroscopic surgery for degenerative meniscus tears in most people. This protocol rebuilds the strength and control your knee needs, no operation required as a first step.

YOUR STARTING POINT
active adults, typically over 35 to 40, with gradual-onset joint-line pain from squatting, twisting or kneeling, with or without an MRI-confirmed degenerative tear.
Educational content. Not medical advice. This program does not replace an in-person assessment, and is not for a locked knee or a suspected acute traumatic tear.
ONE SYSTEM. FOUR TOOLS.

four phases from calming the joint to full-depth squats and a return to twisting sport
log pain, swelling and sessions, and know exactly when to progress
the rules for home, the court and the field
A CLEAR PLAN
the same traffic-light pain rule, with specific tests for deep squat tolerance, kneeling and the classic joint-line pivot test.

TWELVE WEEKS. ONE LOGICAL PROGRESSION.
Reduce irritation, restore comfortable range, and temporarily lower deep squatting and twisting.
Bodyweight strength in shallower ranges, and the first single-leg control work.
Progressively deeper squats and lunges, and the first controlled rotation drills.
Cutting, pivoting and agility work, then a full return to your sport.
The schedule provides structure, not a recovery deadline. Your response determines when you progress.
