The surprising link between weather and joint pain: fact or fiction? With Prof. Manuela Ferreira

Ever wonder if the weather really impacts your joint pain? If you've ever felt like cold, damp days make your knees ache more, you're not alone - many people with osteoarthritis believe there's a strong link between weather and joint pain. But is there really a connection?


In this episode of the Joint Action Podcast, we're joined by Professor Manuela Ferreira, a leading clinician scientist in musculoskeletal health, to dig into this fascinating topic. We explore whether there's any scientific basis for the weather-pain connection, and why you might feel more joint symptoms during certain weather conditions. Professor Ferreira shares insights from her research and provides practical advice on managing joint pain - whether it's a hot, humid day or a freezing winter morning.


Join us as we disentangle the myths from the facts and provide clarity on what you can do to manage your symptoms better. Tune in to find out if the weather really is to blame for your aching joints!
