244 Dr. Caitlin Casella: Progressive Exercise for Osteoarthritis
Manage episode 405470545 series 1566484
In this episode Dr. Caitlin Casella and Kathryn talk about what osteoarthritis is, and how you can use progressive exercise to help manage pain, inflammation, and feel more robust in daily life. Most of what we have been taught about osteoarthritis relates to "wear and tear" but as you will learn in this interview, there's so much more to the story.
Main points you will learn about...
- Pain science as it relates to structural changes in joints
- Knee joints specifically
- Beginning exercise even when pain is present
- How gentle aerobic exercise can be a great place to begin, before heading into strength training
- More on systemic inflammation and it's role in osteoarthritis
- The low impact craze and why it's essential to gradually progress impact training
