Description
Degenerative doesn't have to mean inevitable; but there are common misconceptions surrounding DJD / OA. This seminar will look into the common challenges and opportunities for solutions. You’ll be armed with evidence-based clinical insights into specific therapeutic exercises that are well-tolerated by arthritis patients, potentially slowing the progression of knee joint degeneration and postponing the need for surgical intervention. Plus, explore novel studies demonstrating the potential of specific exercises to enhance knee joint arthrokinematics and post-operative outcomes.
