For years, cartilage was thought to be like tooth enamel—incapable of repair. New research proves otherwise: cartilage is living tissue that can be strengthened with the right kind of training.
Short, low-impact sessions of 10–15 minutes—on a bike, elliptical, rower, or leg press—stimulate chondrocytes to rebuild matrix and collagen. The key is moderation: too much or too hard flips the response from anabolic to degenerative.
A phased plan introduces bone adaptation before reintroducing impact, while supplements like glucosamine, undenatured collagen, and AKBA can further support recovery. With patience, cartilage health and pain-free movement are within reach again.
