severe that they cannot perform their daily activities. If knee pain is ignored, there can be other
problems which you need to face in future. You have a great opportunity to relieve yourself from

vulnerable joint and does show signs of wear and tear. Knee pain is caused due to Osteoarthritis,
Bursitis, muscle strains, Tendonitis, serious injuries to cartilage and ligaments.

The relief from knee pain depends entirely on the stress laid on the reflex points. It also depends

Knee pain can be caused by several reasons and those that are not due to serious
causes can surely be healed with reflexology, but in case it is an advanced case of
osteoporosis then one must seek special medical attention.

I am suffering from;
Radial tear in posterior horn of medial meniscus.
As informed by my doctor, that such tears are not self healing due to no or very limited
blood supply to interior side of the meniscus and partial removal of the teared meniscus
via camera surgery is the only option.
Kindly guide me how Reflexology may help repair heel my damaged Meniscus, so that I
may possibly avoid the surgery.
Thanks.

Reflexology may not work effectively in such extreme cases and and its best to
take help from professionals in such cases.
