Runners & endurance athletes often ask me about about steroid injections, PRP, braces and other things to help their OA pain to allow them to keep active.

These things often don’t help, can be expensive and effects can be very short term.

Knee osteoarthritis pain isn’t just about cartilage or “wear and tear, bodyweight plays a surprisingly powerful role — and the evidence is incredibly consistent.

A 5-10% reduction in body weight can lead to up to a 25-50% improvement in pain and symptoms.

Modest, realistic weight change can create big shifts in not only exercise, but day-to-day comfort, mobility, and function.

This isn’t about aesthetics. It’s about load, inflammation, weight bearing.

What these trials show is simple:

Combining weight management with strengthening, activity modification, and smart training often gives the best outcomes.

You don’t need huge or rapid changes — small, sustainable improvements matter.
