1. Dave Philpot is a Senior Physiotherapist at Ascend Physiotherapy. Dave has been working with active patients for over 20 years and has consistently seen how exercise and good overall health can effect the pain of osteoarthritis. Dave will be discussing how you can approach working out and exercising while managing the painful condition of osteoarthritis.

Choosing the right activity and managing your exercise loads can be very beneficial in treating the pain of osteoarthritis.”
