How it works
Directly reduces peak joint contact forces. Also reduces adipokine-driven systemic inflammation that accelerates cartilage breakdown. Improves quadriceps-to-body-weight ratio.
Even modest weight loss (5–7% body weight) produces clinically significant pain reduction. Combined diet and exercise produces better outcomes than either alone for knee OA.
Getting started
This is a lifestyle-based approach. Start gradually and consult a health professional if you have any concerns about suitability for your situation.
