Osteoarthritis Myths, Movement & Management (with Ben Steele-Turner)


Listen Later

This week, Chloe is joined by Ben Steele-Turner — a musculoskeletal physiotherapist with an MSc in Human Nutrition and a PhD underway on weight management for knee osteoarthritis. With experience in private practice, rugby, and athletics, Ben brings a well-rounded perspective to joint health.

We dive into the common myths around osteoarthritis — like whether it's just an inevitable part of ageing — and how lifestyle, exercise, and nutrition can make a huge difference in managing symptoms.

Topics we cover:

  • Why we need to rethink the way we talk about osteoarthritis
  • How to help clients move with pain, not fear it
  • Strength training strategies that support joint health
  • The role of weight management and anti-inflammatory nutrition
  • Practical tips for coaches and clinicians supporting people with OA
  • If you work with clients who have joint pain — or want to feel more confident supporting them — this episode is packed with insight and takeaways.
