Cartilage Science Explained

Do your joints feel a bit tender? Is it your cartilage or some sort of ligament problem? If it's cartilage, you better know the basics of this tissue so that you don't injure yourself permanently.

We made this video to give you the very basics of your cartilage. I hope it helps extend your life in sport, or keep you from having to have a joint replacement down the line.

A big thanks to Dr. Liliana Mellor for helping with this script!

8 months ago my right knee started to hurt after intensive badminton playing. MRI and stuff didn't show much, just some fluid collection behind the patella. My diagnosis was something called soft cartilage. My doctor never told me any of what your video talked about. I donno what to make of it, but at least I sort lf understand why I may not have healed yet. Thanks for your video, I hope other people find it before making stupid mistakes like I did. Take care of your joints folks!

I do not know how YouTube, knowing full well that I watch workout videos, has not recommended this channel earlier. This is pure gold.

I can truly say I know a lot more about cartilage than I did before I watched this video.

The Cartilage is gone. Stage 1 : denial, it's much like teeth in a way

I ruptured an acl a couple years ago, and had a reconstruction, somehow fortunately the meniscus and articular cartilage were unharmed

Great video! I have a couple questions... I am beginning a sport called parkour, which involves a lot of jumping/landing.
The most common piece of advice I can get from anyone, is to start slow. So you don't injure your knees from all the impact. But I can't find anything/anyone to tell me how to increase my ability to absorb impact. Some people say it's a matter of just 'bending your knees' when you hit the ground, and some other people say your muscles will absorb the shock, so just build them.
Obviously I don't want any injuries, especially to my knee cartilage, which you can't feel right away.

J’pense c’est la meilleure video que j’ai vu pour apprendre le slow mu

J’ai débloqué le slow mu ya un mois et c’est exactement le meme parcours pas forcément les memes exos mais le principe est le meme. carrement le dernier exo pour la transition j’vais le rajouter

C’est puissant de fou !
