This introductory session builds a strong foundation by answering the most common questions about Osteoarthritis. Participants will learn what Osteoarthritis is, how it develops, and who is at risk. Alan will discuss typical signs and symptoms, how Osteoarthritis may feel in different joints, and whether posture and body mechanics can influence pain and stiffness.
