Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that occurs when the cartilage that cushions the ends of bones breaks down over time. Symptoms include pain, swelling, stiffness, and decreased joint mobility. The condition can make everyday activities like walking, climbing stairs, or standing for long periods difficult and painful.

Strengthened muscles can also take some of the load off the joint cartilage, which…
