Is Running Bad for Your Knees

3 Things I Like About This Study

1. It proves that running isn’t “bad for your knees”.  No exercise is bad.  The problem is usually…

2. Moderation.  It proves my most annoying thing I say to patients, “the difference between medicine and poison, is dosage”

3. Being sedentary is extremely dangerous.  There’s a HUGE difference between acquiring OA from exercise and acquiring OA from a sedentary lifestyle.  At both a local and systemic level.

1 Thing I Don’t Like

1. It makes OA seem like a negative.  Osteoarthritis is just like wrinkles on the inside of the body.  It’s not a big deal.  There are thousands of studies proving this philosophy that imaging does not correlate with our function and longevity.

So keep running.
