Osteoarthritis

I’ve written a blog post on the topic of osteoarthritis (OA), movement, and yoga.

“There are many misconceptions about OA. We need to focus on what matters most and stop sharing inaccurate information that is causing a cascade of issues (e.g. fear of movement and avoidance behavior). We know that motion is lotion for our joints, it’s OK to have pain while you exercise, and lifestyle changes can reduce pain, increase function, and improve quality of life.”

In the article I debunk the most common myths about OA. I also cover what you as a yoga practitioner or yoga teacher can implement in practice with regard to OA.

I’m very thankful that Jenni Rawlings invited me back as a contributor on her amazing blog. (I’ve written two articles before)

If you find this article to be of value, please share it far and wide with your networks. We need to spread up-to-date, evidence-based information about OA – and especially the relationship between OA and movement!
