Thank you to @ProfDavidHunter, @vickyduong and team for the kind invitation to share about the work that we are doing in #psychosocial factors in #osteoarthritis and #musculoskeletal health. An under-appreciated but rapidly growing and evolving field of research!
A person’s experience with knee #osteoarthritis can be influenced by many psychosocial factors that impact the experience of pain. Learn more about this topic on this week’s episode of @jointactionorg with @BryantanOrtho.
