Knee pain isn’t always inevitable with age. At Wake Forest University, Dr. Steve Messier has spent more than three decades researching osteoarthritis and how lifestyle changes can reduce pain and improve quality of life. His work shows that exercise combined with weight loss can significantly reduce pain, inflammation and stress on the knee joint. Now his international TOPS study is exploring whether diet and exercise can help prevent osteoarthritis before it starts. #WFUExpert #WFUResearch #ProHumanitate
