Strength Training & Joint Health with Dr. Sullivan
Episode description
Dr. Jonathan Sullivan joins Matt & Scott to discuss what we know about how strength training benefits the joins and how it affects joint health. You can find Sully’s YouTube channel here and his Greysteel’s website here.
Running actually puts more force on the knee joint than squatting below depth, so the idea that squatting below depth is bad for children (whereas people have no opposition to a child running) does not make sense.
He also discusses the idea of arthritis as a “wear & tear” disease not only being wrong but this concept leading to bad, counterproductive, unhealthy recommendations from much of the medical community.
They also discuss different types of joint replacements.
It is always a good time when Sully joins the podcast!
