A new study for patients with severe knee OA awaiting surgery has found higher-volume resistance exercises (8–12 sets) triggered a delayed hypoalgesic effect—temporary pain relief despite an initial short-term flare.
👉 Key takeaway: Exercise volume matters. Clinicians should balance short-term discomfort with long-term pain relief, while also addressing psychosocial factors like pain catastrophizing and kinesiophobia.

Here’s a top tip from #RunningRepairs 👇
Sometimes when someone struggles with a single leg squat it’s not due to lack of control, it’s due to lack of range.
A quick and easy test to try is to place a small block/ raise under their heel then retest the movement.

@MennoFranken@GeoffreyVerrall@afranklynmiller Also think tibial load is influenced more by femoral loading force onto tibia and GRF combined with kinematics during loading phase than by Soleus stiffness (as per @Kevinakirby’s work - see image)
