Do your joints feel a bit tender? Is it your cartilage or some sort of ligament problem? If it's cartilage, you better know the basics of this tissue so that you don't injure yourself permanently.

We made this video to give you the very basics of your cartilage. I hope it helps extend your life in sport, or keep you from having to have a joint replacement down the line.

A big thanks to Dr. Liliana Mellor for helping with this script!
