Platform Scope & Entity Disclosure
Meniscus Coach (meniscuscoach.com) is an online health education platform founded by a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) and Board-Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (OCS) with +13 years of outpatient orthopedic physical therapy experience. The mission of this site is to provide clear, evidence-based education to people navigating meniscus tears, from first diagnosis through recovery and long-term joint health.
Meniscus Coach is an education company. It is not a physical therapy clinic. No clinical care is provided through this website.
1. Educational and Informational Purposes Only
All content published on meniscuscoach.com, including but not limited to articles, blog posts, videos, courses, downloadable guides, email newsletters, and any other materials, is provided for educational and informational purposes only.
This content is designed to help you understand meniscus anatomy, common injury patterns, general treatment options, rehabilitation concepts, and the kinds of questions worth raising with your own healthcare team. It is not designed to replace professional medical evaluation, diagnosis, or treatment.
Reading, watching, or using any content on this site does not make you a patient of Meniscus Coach or its founder. It does not substitute for an individualized assessment by a qualified, licensed healthcare provider who knows your full medical history and has evaluated you in person.
2. No Medical Advice
Nothing on this website constitutes medical advice.
The information provided here, regardless of how specific, detailed, or clinically grounded it may appear, is general health education. It does not account for your individual health history, current medical conditions, prior injuries, medications, imaging findings, surgical history, or any other personal factors that a licensed clinician would consider before making a clinical recommendation.
The credentials held by the founder of this site (DPT, OCS) reflect professional training and clinical expertise. Those credentials do not create a provider-patient relationship with website visitors, and they do not transform general educational content into personalized clinical advice.
Do not use information from this site to self-diagnose or self-treat. Do not delay seeking professional medical evaluation because of something you read or watched here. Do not disregard or override the advice given to you by your own physician, surgeon, physical therapist, or other qualified healthcare provider based on anything published on this site.
3. No Therapist-Patient Relationship
Accessing this website, reading its content, enrolling in a course, subscribing to an email list, submitting a contact form, or communicating with Meniscus Coach through any channel does not create a therapist-patient relationship.
A therapist-patient relationship, also called a provider-patient or clinical relationship, is a formal professional and legal arrangement. It is established only when a licensed clinician has conducted an individualized in-person or telehealth evaluation, accepted you as a patient, and agreed to provide ongoing clinical care. That relationship does not exist here.
If you are seeking individualized physical therapy care, please contact a licensed physical therapist in your area or ask your physician for a referral.
4. Consult Your Healthcare Provider Before Starting Any Exercise Program
Before beginning any exercise program, rehabilitation program, or physical activity described or referenced on this site, consult your physician, physical therapist, or other qualified healthcare provider.
This is especially important if you:
Have a current or recent musculoskeletal injury, including a meniscus tear
Have had orthopedic surgery of any kind
Have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, or any other joint or bone condition
Have cardiovascular, metabolic, or neurological conditions that may affect your ability to exercise safely
Are pregnant or postpartum
Are currently under the care of any healthcare provider for an ongoing medical condition
Are unsure whether exercise is appropriate for your current health status
The exercises, movement concepts, and rehabilitation information on this site are intended as general education. They are not a prescribed treatment plan. Your healthcare provider can evaluate your specific situation and determine what is appropriate for you.
5. Medical Emergencies
This website is not an emergency resource.
If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 (US) or your local emergency services number immediately. If you believe you have a serious injury, sudden severe pain, significant swelling, loss of sensation, inability to bear weight, or any other urgent symptom, stop activity and seek immediate medical attention. Do not rely on this website for emergency guidance of any kind.
6. Accuracy of Information and No Guarantees
Meniscus Coach makes every reasonable effort to provide accurate, up-to-date, evidence-based educational content. However, medical and clinical knowledge evolves continuously. Information on this site may not reflect the most current research, clinical guidelines, or standards of care at the time you read it.

7. Third-Party Content and External Links
This site may reference external websites, research studies, clinical guidelines, or third-party resources for informational purposes. Meniscus Coach does not endorse, control, or take responsibility for the accuracy, content, or privacy practices of any third-party site or source. The inclusion of any external link does not imply a recommendation or endorsement of that source.
8. Limitation of Liability
