S2E4 - Aquatic Exercise for Osteoarthritis Screening and Evidence

Welcome to Season 2 of AMC Clinical Deep Dive!

Osteoarthritis (OA) counselling is a high-yield AMC station where exercise is the core treatment regardless of age or pain level. This episode equips IMGs to discuss aquatic exercise/hydrotherapy—an excellent, low-impact option when pain or obesity limits land-based activity. We break down the Level 1 evidence showing it delivers small but meaningful short-term improvements in pain and function over about 3 months. Master the crucial counselling framework to emphasise staying active in a supportive, warm environment. Crucially, learn how to safely screen for and avoid critical errors like suggesting hydrotherapy without checking for contraindications (e.g., open wounds, unstable heart disease). Ace this station by providing a safe, patient-centred option.
