STOP! Before you make a decision ☝🏽

So many people are led to believe surgery is the only way to find relief from knee osteoarthritis 😞

Of course, surgery does have a time and a place, especially if after a strong effort, conservative measures like exercise don’t bring relief.

BUT- surgery should not be the first line of treatment ‼️

Instead, research suggests exercise, education and weight management can be incredibly powerful 💥

Now you know the facts. I have tons of exercise ideas here on this profile. Advocate for yourself next time you see a surgeon and ask about other options like physical therapy ✅

You can do this.
