What it concludes

• Arthritis shown on X-rays has no correlation to symptoms, meaning severe joint damage can exist without pain.
• Knee meniscus surgery has been demonstrated to be no better than placebo surgery.
• Atrophy-induced immobility of the hip flexors and surrounding muscles leads to pain and dysfunction.
• Strengthening hip flexors and hamstrings through progressive overload and proper hinging can restore pain-free range of motion.
