Exercise is a commonly recommended treatment for osteoarthritis. There have been many studies which have shown the benefits of exercise which include improved pain, function, and quality of life. However, more often times than not, exercise is delivered sub-optimally with health care professionals unclear about how to deliver exercise effectively to people with hip or knee OA. On this week’s episode of Joint Action, we are joined by Melanie Holden to discuss.
Melanie Holden is a Chartered Physiotherapist with 17 years of experience of applied health research based within the School of Medicine at Keele University in the UK. She leads the Osteoarthritis Research Group within the Centre for Musculoskeletal Health Research at Keele. Her research focus is optimising the management of musculoskeletal conditions, including osteoarthritis, through rehabilitation (non-drug, non-surgical treatments).
