Ep 232: Exercise therapy "wears down" my joint - myth or fact? With Dr Alessio Bricca
Manage episode 496982167 series 2830659
No doubt you've come across people using the analogy of a broken down machine to describe an osteoarthritic joint. Or perhaps that too much loading on the joint is responsible for wearing it out - assuming that each joint has a finite number of movements in its lifetime.
You've probably also heard from patients who are concerned that the exercise therapy you prescribe might do more harm to their already worn-out joint. But is that true?
Today, Dr Alessio Bricca (Centre for Muscle and Joint Health, University of Southern Denmark) explores the evidence and refutes these beliefs.
