Arthritis Webinar, June 2025 [RECORDING]

This webinar took place on 4 June 2025

What does a joint remember? What choices – nutritional, emotional, biomechanical – leave their imprint over decades? How might we ease aching joints and return vitality to the body’s structure?

Webinar 1 introduced the exquisite living ecology of cartilage, water, bone and the proteome, now, webinar 2 turns toward the lived human story. We follow osteoarthritis not as an abstract pathology, but as it unfolds through the tissues, life choices, and physiological patterns of our patients.

In this second installment of the OA series, we moved from theory into clinical practice bringing the map of joint degeneration to life through a detailed case study.

Together we explored:

• A patient with bilateral hip replacement. Their history, imaging, symptom progression, and systemic context.
• The case history as narrative and diagnostic map. What patterns were revealed through timing, presentation, long-term stress load, injuries, metabolic status and hormonal shifts?
• X-rays and relevant clinical data. Interpreting structural clues: joint spacing, osteophytes, subchondral sclerosis, load-bearing patterns, and compensatory adaptations.
• The unique constellation of drivers. How mechanical load, hormone dynamics, mineral homeostasis, inflammation, fascial tension, nutritional gaps and structured water all play a part.
• Treatment priorities: where leverage truly lies. Identifying the ‘big levers’ that can shift joint inflammation, metabolism, cartilage maintenance and repair.
• Possible interventions. Nutritional, botanical, lifestyle, somatic, metabolic and hydration-based strategies that align with the patient’s presentation.

This webinar helps practitioners translate joint physiology into meaningful, actionable clinical reasoning – honouring both the complexity and the profound malleability of the musculoskeletal system.
