Osteoarthritis, Movement Optimism and Dumb Fitness Rules: With Greg Lehman -- Marianne Kane, Equipped with Strength Podcast
Having joint deterioration makes us human. It's as normal as aging itself. Lehman takes us through the nuts and bolts of "wear and tear" arthritis. He espouses what he calls "movement optimism" in the face of a medical model being overly cautious with exercise. Some pain is to be expected, and we are generally a pain-averse society. Lehman unpacks some questions about whether or not weight affects joint pain, sensitivity vs. damage, when biomechanics matter, "dumb" rules people still subscribe to, and what to tell someone who's afraid to get started.
