Learn how "Motion is Lotion"
Osteoarthritis is not a "wear and tear" disease
Osteoarthritis is an imbalance of cartilage regeneration and degeneration
Cartilage needs movement for nourishment and regeneration

Cartilage covers the ends of the bones in our synovial joints
The hip and knee joint are synovial joints with cartilage on both bones

What is the function of cartilage?
​- shock absorption
- smooth surfaces for smooth gliding
- lubrication

How common is osteoarthritis?
5% of people age 35-51
30% of people age 50-70
13.6% of Canadians age 20+ live with diagnosed osteoarthritis
