Osteoarthritis occurs when the cartilage that cushions the ends of bones in your joints gradually deteriorates. It's more common in older people, but through wear and tear due to high workload, it can appear at any age. What happens when a dancer gets diagnosed with early-onset osteoarthritis? Your career, your whole life depends on your body working as it should- what happens when it doesn't?
Joanne has been diagnosed with osteoarthritis in 2015 and she's here today to share her experience.
