The more clinicians I talk to, the more they confirm that the belief that exercise 'wears down the knee cartilage' exists. Well, it seems it DOES NOT harm knee cartilage. Still a long way to go to debunk this myth! Be part of the change ✅ #arthritis pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2993…

This may come in handy to take an informed decision on whether to undergo surgery or not for MSK conditions 👇
Non-surgical treatments may be as effective as surgery for most musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions. 🆓 Yet, with higher-quality RCTs in the future, this conclusion could potentially change. Help patients to take an informed decision. 🧵
