Episode Synopsis

Is exercise the key to managing osteoarthritis pain? In this episode, we unpack the 2011 review by Bennell and Hinman on the role of exercise in treating hip and knee OA. Discover how aerobic, strengthening, aquatic, and Tai Chi-based exercises can reduce pain, improve function, and enhance quality of life—regardless of OA severity. We explore evidence-based strategies for individualised exercise prescription, discuss why adherence is critical, and explain why exercise doesn’t alter joint structure—but still changes lives. Whether you’re an exercise professional, health practitioner, or someone living with OA, this episode offers practical insights and clear takeaways to help you keep moving safely and confidently.
