If you have arthritis — moving more isn't just good advice. It's now official EULAR guidance.
Movement is standard care. Sitting less matters too.

Varus ("bow-leg") malalignment + elevated BMI don't just add risk — they multiply it. Together, they accelerate medial compartment cartilage loss and raise the risk of knee replacement. Both factors must be assessed together.

Grand plié can put approximately 7 times your body weight directly into your knee joint😳(You may want to avoid performing grand plié at the barre when your knee is hurting👍🏻) #ballet #dance #science #biomechanics
The risk of having a total knee replacement may be reduced with weight loss of 7.5 % of your body weight. Weight gain may be associated with increased risk of hip and knee replacement #osteoarthritis #rehabilitation #weightloss
