Show Notes
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading cause of pain and disability. OA is also seems to be associated with several myths and misconceptions about how it is caused and how it might be managed. To cut through some of this mythology, I invited Professor David Hunter on the show for a 'no holds barred' conversation. David is the number 1 ranked expert in the world on OA, so it should come as no surprise he is a wealth of knowledge and a clear communicator on the complexities of osteoarthritis. I hope you enjoy.
Key papers:
The START trial for knee OA
The IDEA trial
David's Lancet paper on OA

A peanut isn't dangerous until it meets someone who can't tolerate it. Same with the upright row exercise. This episode scrutinises the "worst exercise for your shoulder" claim by tracing it back to a theory that's already dead, then shows what determines outcome: the person lifting. Shock. Horror.
