Contrary to popular belief, practicing sports with osteoarthritis<\/a> does not worsen the disease. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adapted physical activity, on the contrary, is beneficial: it strengthens muscles, maintains joint mobility, improves joint lubrication and slows the progression of the pathology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Coulin encourages his patients to remain active, taking into account the level of pain and the location of the osteoarthritis (hip, knee<\/a>, column, hands) and each person's objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few simple precautions \u2014 good warm-up, appropriate equipment, listening to pain signals \u2014 often allow you to continue a sporting activity in good conditions, even with established osteoarthritis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before resuming or adapting a sporting activity, a medical opinion helps to identify the movements to favor and those to avoid depending on the condition of the joint concerned.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
