Jacques Vallotton – Practical Workshop – September 2023

Dr. Vallotton explains the fundamental role of the meniscus in the biomechanical balance of the knee. He uses clear analogies to show how meniscal tears disrupt joint stability and shock absorption. The video emphasizes the importance of considering morphological and gait factors when analyzing injuries.

""The serve is both the most important and the most unhealthy movement in tennis.""

""Soft strings, soft racket, soft ball – that's the rule to protect your shoulder.""

""The player needs to be relaxed to avoid tensions that cause injuries.""
