Knee osteoarthritis is a common presentation in many athletes and active individuals, and although running with osteoarthritis is likely to be okay it is important to consider the biomechanical, running schedule and gym based exercises to support optimal outcomes.

We are proud to welcome him at the upcoming International Clinician Symposium, Better Evidence, Better Care for Osteoarthritis: Including Managing Early OA In Athletes, August 7-8th, Bundoora, Melbourne, and online.
