Osteoarthritis Health:
OA is the most common lifestyle disease in individuals 65 years of age and older, but can also affect individuals as young as 30 years of age. Current national and international clinical guidelines recommend patient education, exercise and weight loss as first line of treatment for Osteoarthritis. In Australia, treatment usually focuses on surgery however, an appropriately prescribed resistance-based exercise program has been shown to be a better and safer alternative as the first step. Exercises provided can be applied to everyday activities and by strengthening and correcting daily movement patterns, participants will train their bodies to move properly, prevent symptom progression and reduce pain. Open to all individuals who experience any hip and/or knee osteoarthritis symptoms, regardless of severity. |
