Abstract
SYNOPSIS: In parts 1 and 2 of this series, we highlighted the dominant impairment way of talking about osteoarthritis: talking that frames osteoarthritis as a disease of cartilage worsened by physical activity that can only be "cured" by replacing the joint. An alternative understanding that counters common misconceptions about osteoarthritis, and links physical activity and healthy lifestyles to improvements in symptoms is likely a prerequisite for sustainable behavior change. It is insufficient to tell people with osteoarthritis that regular physical activity is important; people need to understand and experience how physical activity can help. Here, we offer suggestions for how clinicians can shift from focusing on what people cannot do because of osteoarthritis, toward focusing on what people can do to improve their health and maintain "active bodies."
