The Rethink OA Program

Did you know 1 in 2 adults will develop symptomatic knee osteoarthritis? Yet most people are not provided with enough information to truly understand it.

Rethink OA is a step-by-step online program to help you understand your pain, move with confidence, and take control of your osteoarthritis journey.

Start Understanding Your Pain Today

If you’re feeling stuck, uncertain, or limited by pain…

You’re not alone. Many people with osteoarthritis:

  • Feel unsure what movements are safe
  • Avoid activity out of fear of making it worse
  • Feel like surgery is the only option

This program gives you a different starting point—one grounded in science and designed to help you take action.

 

What You'll Get

A structured, self-paced program you can start today:

  • 4 guided modules you can complete at your own pace
  • Short, engaging video lessons featuring Stanford experts and real individuals with osteoarthritis
  • Reflection questions and exercises to help you apply what you learn to your own life
  • Unlimited access—revisit the program anytime you need a reminder or reset

The entire program can be completed in approximately 2 hours.

You can progress through it at your own pace, and you’ll start feeling a positive change right away.

Module 1: Understanding Osteoarthritis

Start by breaking down common misconceptions and learning what osteoarthritis actually means for your body—so you can move forward with clarity instead of fear.

Module 2: Move to Improve

 

 Discover how movement can become one of your most powerful tools. Rather than something to avoid, you’ll learn how the right kind of movement supports your joints, builds resilience, and helps your body adapt over time.

Module 3: Enjoying Exercise

Shift your experience of exercise from something you have to do to something you want to do—because it reconnects you to the active, capable life you may feel like you’ve lost.

Module 4: Mindsets Matter

Bring everything together by understanding how your mindset shapes your experience of pain, movement, and possibility—and how small shifts can change the way you live your life long-term.

 A Different Approach

Most osteoarthritis advice focuses only on your joints. 

That’s why so many people feel stuck, even when they’re trying to do everything “right.

But pain isn’t just about your joints.

If you’ve been told to “just keep moving” but it still feels confusing or unsafe, the problem isn’t you—it’s that you’re missing a key piece.

Rethink OA helps you understand how pain, movement, and mindset work together.

Because when you understand what your pain actually means,
you stop guessing what’s safe and start moving with confidence again.
