Meniscus Tear Broward

Experiencing knee pain, stiffness, or a catching sensation when you move? You might be dealing with a meniscus tear—a common injury that occurs when the cartilage in your knee joint is damaged due to twisting, squatting, or sudden movements. At Theracave in Broward, we specialize in non-surgical treatment of meniscus tears through customized physical therapy. Our goal is to reduce inflammation, restore full range of motion, and strengthen the muscles that support your knee to improve stability and function.

The meniscus plays a crucial role in cushioning the knee and distributing weight across the joint. When torn, it can cause discomfort, swelling, and a feeling like your knee is giving out. While some cases require surgery, many tears—especially minor or degenerative ones—respond well to conservative treatment when addressed early. At Theracave, we provide one-on-one care designed to help you recover safely, avoid future injury, and return to your daily activities with confidence.

Q&A

A meniscus tear is a rupture in the cartilage of the knee, usually caused by twisting or pivoting while the foot is planted. It can result from sports injuries, trauma, or wear and tear over time.

Yes. Small or partial tears—especially on the outer edge—can often heal with rest and physical therapy. Larger or complex tears may require surgery, but even post-surgery, physical therapy is crucial for recovery.

For non-surgical cases, recovery may take 6–8 weeks with consistent therapy. Post-surgical rehab can take 3–5 months depending on the procedure and severity of the tear.

Yes. Most people return to their activities after completing rehab. A structured physical therapy plan focuses on strengthening, mobility, and knee control to reduce the risk of reinjury.

Without a doubt this is the best Physical Therapy experience I have ever had (and I have had several). I have worked with Ayoub Zianai (AZ) and Hesham Abdel-Salam and they are both consummate professionals. A very thorough evaluation was done to start and a treatment plan reviewed. So much more extensive than other PT facilities which just take the referring Dr's prescription and assign exercises. Each week we discuss what is happening and modifications are made if necessary. Both practitioners are easy to speak with and very caring. I highly recommend TheraCave!

I can’t recommend Theracave enough! I came in with herniated discs in my neck that were causing arm pain and making it difficult to work out at all. Hesham took a truly one-on-one approach, helping me understand where the pain was coming from and working on strengthening the areas of my back that needed support. He told me he’d get me back in the gym, and after about 18 sessions, I’m slowly getting back to running and lifting weights with so much more confidence. I also worked with Ayoub, who is lovely, attentive and patient. Both made me feel heard and supported throughout the process. The medical massages made a huge difference, with some of my pain going away and never returning, and the dry needling helped loosen things up. What stands out most is their gentle, science-backed and detail-oriented approach. It’s clear they understand the body and take the time to address what’s actually causing your symptoms. If you’re working toward a goal and want truly personalized care, I highly recommend them!
