Physio for Meniscus Tears in Chelmsford, Essex

At Chelmsford Physio, we help people recover from meniscus tears caused by sport with clear, practical physiotherapy. From our Riverside clinic in Chelmsford, we focus on reducing pain, restoring movement and getting you safely back to training, matches and everyday life.

A meniscus tear is a common knee injury in sport. It often happens during twisting movements in football, rugby, running, gym training or racquet sports. Typical symptoms include knee pain, swelling, stiffness, catching or locking, and reduced confidence in the joint.



Physiotherapy plays a key role in recovery. The right treatment can ease pain, improve strength and stability, and help prevent future injury. We start with a full assessment to understand how your knee moves, where it hurts, and how the injury affects your sport and daily activities.

From there, we build a clear rehab plan. This usually includes hands-on treatment, guided exercises, and advice on activity levels. Our aim is simple: support natural healing, rebuild knee control, and help you return to sport safely. Whether your tear is mild or more complex, structured physiotherapy can make a real difference to your recovery.

We take a practical, step-by-step approach to meniscus tear physiotherapy in Chelmsford. Every programme is tailored to you.

Your care may include:

Pain and swelling management

• Joint mobility work to restore movement

• Strength training for quads, hamstrings and glutes

• Balance and stability exercises

• Sport-specific rehab when you are ready

• Clear guidance on loading, rest and return to play

We focus on building confidence in your knee, not just treating symptoms. Progress is reviewed regularly so your plan evolves as you improve.

Because we treat all types of sports injuries, we understand the demands different activities place on the knee. Our goal is to help you move better, feel stronger, and reduce the risk of re-injury, so you can get back to doing what you enjoy with confidence.

If you are dealing with knee pain or a sports-related meniscus tear, early physiotherapy can speed up recovery and prevent ongoing issues.

We work with active adults and athletes of all levels across Chelmsford and nearby areas. From your first session, we focus on clear goals, simple guidance and steady progress.



If your knee feels unstable, swollen or painful after sport, do not ignore it. Getting the right support now can make all the difference. Start your recovery with us and take the first step towards stronger, more confident movement.
