I don't have a meniscus problem but I wear the brace to my job. I work as a nursing assistant so I have a lot of getting up and down and lifting patients and find the brace is very supportive

ASK Your Doctor. My guess is NO. I have seen inversion 'chairs' that tip you back in a more sitting position with bent knees that may be acceptable to you doctor.

I have Osteoarthritis in my left knee. I have checked the reviews and their pretty damn good. I'm interested in purchasing this unit. I would like to know if this will help my left knee especially since its bone on bone. Kindly advise.

My mother has knee problems. I would not recommend this for you because it only has two steps, i believe the second step would be too high for you. Pick something with 3 or 4 small steps instead of 2 big steps. If you are like my mom the 2nd step is too high a step, you will have to bend your knee too much.

I have just needed this for your very question as I torn my meniscus in my knee and am going to be having surgery. I have now been using this pillow every night just for this purpose for over a week now. It is firm yet soft it has been perfect for me. I hope that answers your question and that it will work for you.

It has a setting for joints, the knee is a joint.. I have fibromyalgia and found this to be a great relief from some of the pain. I am buy my mother in-law one for her back.

I really believe it depends on how far your knee has deteriorated. If it is to the point of surgery, nothing will help. If you're looking for a cure. forget it. If it's average pain relief, then it may help. It sure doesn't hinder.

This is a lite support for the knee. I would advise you to seek your Orthopedist's views on the proper knee support.

I bought this specifically for knee pain (suspect a torn meniscus) and it worked better than I anticipated. 5 star review

There is a short-two minutes, maybe?-'thigh dancing' segment where you are sitting on your heels and using your thighs to lift you into the moves; knees remain on the floor but it's the thighs that bear the brunt of the stress. Throughout both the thigh and some of the butt segments, you stand on tip toes with your heels touching and your toes separated into a three or so inch 'v' for many of the exercises. This position helps to target the thighs and will stress your knees if they are succeptible to that type of downward strain. However, I have problems with my left knee and if I'm careful, I can do all of the exercises with no problems. There is no direct knee to floor contact unless you need to do push-ups or tricep push-ups on your knees (even these are not direct knee to floor positions, they're 'off-set). I lift weights and do HIIT cardio on a regular basis, and have done MANY different workout programs, but no workout has 'fine-toned' and lifted my body like Physique 57 does. If your knees are such that you can do this workout if you're conscientous about your knee, I strongly recommend it; if your knees are injured or really succeptible to injury, try one of the workouts online for $5 and see if it works for you. (The online option at physique.com is awesome for traveling as well). Hope this helps!

It will probably help take some of the stress off of it but it is meant for groin and inner thigh injuries. If you decide to buy it and give it a try let me know how it works for you. I had a really bad groin injury and this help me be able to walk and jog a little bit. Good luck

It stabilizes lateral movement of the knee, which occurs when I walk on uneven surfaces or shifts weight from one leg to the other. If you are overweight, it will not eliminate the knee pain from excess weight on the knee. My doctor tells me to lose some weight.

A friend of ours used one of these when he had his knee surgery and swears it's the reason for his good results. Good luck!

I would think so although I have never used it for my knee, it helps a great deal with my shoulder, hip and back.

i have used instaflex for the last 2 years. before that i was considering a knee replacement. have not considered it since. it works for me.

It will build leg muscle endurance, not strength. You might want to check out the specific quad strengthening exercises in "Treat Your Own Knee Arthritis" - you can do them at your desk too. Hope this helps!

Based on my limited (so far) experience with it, I would say that Tendlite is moderately helpful in relieving knee pain due to degenerative arthritis.
