Healthy knees are important for walking, climbing stairs, exercising, and performing everyday activities. Regular low-impact exercise can help strengthen the muscles around the knee, improve flexibility, and support better joint movement.
Some of the best exercises for healthy knees include straight leg raises, hamstring stretches, calf raises, gentle squats, step-ups, walking, and cycling. These exercises can help improve muscle strength and knee stability while reducing stiffness.
However, exercise should be performed correctly and according to your physical condition. Avoid sudden high-impact activities if you already have knee pain or an injury.
According to Dr. Susheel Sharma, Joint Replacement & Orthopedic Surgeon, maintaining a healthy weight, staying active, and strengthening the muscles supporting the knee can help protect joint health and maintain mobility.
If you experience persistent knee pain, swelling, stiffness, or difficulty walking, consult Dr. Susheel Sharma for proper evaluation and personalized orthopedic care.
