Do you need that total knee replacement for #OA if 20% do not get pain relief? Important to try structured supervised exercise program first. After 1 year, 74% no need for surgery, 2 years -2/3 no need for surgery. Important we share this info with patients #ASICSSMA19 @ewa_roos

When it comes to ‘tight calves’ I’ve found that answer is nearly always found in strengthening below the knee (gastroc + soleus) & meeting substantial plantar flexor force requirements #running #strength #physio
