Meniscus Tear (Torn Meniscus)

Scott Meyer

I've been working with Dr. Pearle and Emma Jane Smith, Nurse Practitioner, since I tore my medial meniscus in 2018. I've been working with Max Castrogaleas for one-on-one training for two years, with help from Chelsea Long. As a group, they have kept me in the game playing lacrosse and soccer and staying in one piece. Dr. Positano helped me to bounce back from a torn plantar fascia in 2022 as well.

I got the opportunity to play in an over-50 lacrosse tournament in June 2023. Max helped me to step up my cardio and strength training to be ready. At the tournament, I got smacked around, knocked down several times. But I got right back up. Through it all, my conditioning and core strength was the difference.

Thanks to the team at HSS!
