Introduction

Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis. It affects more than 500 million people worldwide and is a leading cause of physical disability. Osteoarthritis of the knee can cause stiffness, pain, swelling, difficulties with functional mobility and gait, and increase a person's fall risk. Integrative Lifestyle Medicine offers alternative approaches to management strategies to offer hope to those patients affected by the symptoms of knee osteoarthritis. This webinar provides practical recommendations for patient-centred care, which can be applied immediately into clinical practice.

Featured reviews
It was an excellent presentation on the conservative management of knee osteoarthritis. The speaker gave a clear and concise approach to the assessment and management of patients with osteoarthritis of the knee. The question and answer section at the end was excellent.
