💭 Does strength training actually help osteoarthritis?

A recent meta-analysis suggests it has limited impact on pain and only moderate improvements in function…

But when you take a closer look at the studies, there’s a bigger question:

👉 Were they actually doing real strength training?

In this episode, we break down:

What the research says

Where it may fall short

Why underloading could be the real issue

And what effective strength training should actually look like

Because not all “strength programs” are created equal and dosage matters.
