Osteoarthritis of the Knee: Keep Running!- Part 1


Listen Later

Knee osteoarthritis is a common condition that affects millions of people around the world.  It's a degenerative joint condition that causes the cartilage  to break down over time which can lead to pain, stiffness and reduced mobility

While the exact causes of knee arthritis aren't fully understood there are several factors that are known to increase the risk of developing this condition:
- Age
- Genetics
- Obesity
- Activity

Recently completed my first marathon last year and am planning to run again in the 2023 New York City Marathon.

Study after study reveals that there is no conclusive evidence that running causes osteoarthritis of the knee!

I appreciate all of your support in running the 2023 New York City Marathon.
