Does running cause knee arthritis? | Runner's World

It’s commonly thought, especially among non-runners, that running will damage your knees over time. That would make staying on the sofa seem eminently sensible.

But it’s more likely that regular exercise conditions your knees to become more resilient, improving the condition of the cartilage in your joints through regular use.

If you do develop arthritis in your knees, however, it is a long-term condition without a cure. But the symptoms can be managed, and your condition can improve with the right treatment.
