“I have knee pain… it’s just arthritis.”
So they stop squatting.
Take the elevator.
Give up skiing, riding, pickleball.
Little by little, their world gets smaller.
Here’s what most people don’t realize:
“Osteoarthritis” or even “bone on bone” does not automatically mean your knee is fragile or beyond help.
In many cases, the knee isn’t broken — it’s underprepared.
Pain is often a safety signal, not a stop sign.
With the right progressive plan, many people get back to the activities they thought were off limits — not by resting… but by rebuilding. 💪
