## Resource

Welcome to Interdisciplinary Case Miles, a podcast where real runner stories meet clinical expertise. In Episode 10, Dr. Kate Mihevc Edwards (PT), Dr. Sara Raiser (MD), and sports dietitian Kelsey Pontius address a very common question: Can you keep running with knee osteoarthritis? Using the case of a 60-year-old male runner with knee OA, the team walks through how clinicians evaluate pain, imaging, goals, and functional limitations to help runners make informed decisions about continuing to train. The discussion covers activity modification, gait retraining, strength and mobility work, physical therapy, injections, regenerative medicine options, and when knee replacement may become part of the conversation. The episode also highlights the role of nutrition, hydration, inflammation management, and consistency in supporting joint health and long-term running longevity especially for master’s athletes. As always, rather than offering black-and-white answers, the hosts emphasize individualized care, realistic expectations, and meeting runners where they are. This episode reinforces a core message of Interdisciplinary Case Miles: staying active with OA is often possible, but it requires an individualized, interdisciplinary approach. In this episode, you’ll learn: How knee osteoarthritis is evaluated in runners When running may still be appropriate and how to modify it The role of physical therapy, gait retraining, and strength work Injection and regenerative medicine options for knee OA Nutrition strategies to support joint health and recovery How to think about longevity, pain management, and performance 00:00 – 02:30 | What this podcast is about An interdisciplinary approach to keeping runners healthy and active. 02:30 – 05:00 | The case: 60-year-old runner with knee OA…
