Bipasha Basu reveals osteoarthritis diagnosis, advocates weight training

Bipasha Basu has shared that she was diagnosed with osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint condition that causes pain and stiffness. The actor revealed the news in a social media post, opening up about her health journey and the measures she is taking to manage the disease.

NDTV reports that Basu has incorporated weight training into her fitness routine to help manage osteoarthritis symptoms. Experts cited in the report note that strength training can reduce joint pain, improve function, and slow the progression of the condition by building muscle support around the affected joints.

The actor did not specify when she was diagnosed. Doctors advise that anyone experiencing persistent joint pain, swelling, or stiffness lasting more than two weeks should consult a specialist for evaluation and a personalised treatment plan.
