Osteoarthritis is often blamed on “wear and tear,” but the truth is far more empowering. In this episode, orthopedic surgeon Dr. Howard Luks joins us to break down what’s really happening inside your joints — and why movement, not rest, is the key to healing and longevity.
We talk about:
•Why osteoarthritis isn’t caused by using your joints too much
•The link between metabolic health, inflammation, and joint pain
•When surgery or treatments actually make sense
•How strength, mobility, and motor control protect your joints for life
Dr. Luks’ insights bridge the gap between medical science and practical movement training. Whether you’re dealing with arthritis yourself or helping others move better, this conversation will change the way you think about pain, aging, and physical autonomy.
