According to Inserm, 10 million French people suffer from this degenerative joint disease, which leads to the destruction of cartilage. When faced with this chronic pathology, it is possible to restore or replace the cartilage and follow the treatment protocol.

Move at your own pace
Running a marathon or playing a high-impact sport like tennis is out of the question. You need gentleness and regularity in activities such as swimming, cycling, elliptical machines, hiking, tai chi, qigong, yoga or Nordic walking. It is important to combat a sedentary lifestyle and never start a workout without warming up. Before you start, it’s best to talk to your doctor to find the activity that’s best for you, reconnect with exercise, and regain mobility.
