Episode description
Story at-a-glance
- Knee pain affects one in four U.S. adults and often stems from osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint condition that causes stiffness, swelling, and pain — especially when you’re inactive or avoid movement
- Falling into inactivity worsens the problem, as muscle weakness adds stress to the knee joint, making everyday movements like walking or standing more painful over time
- A March 2024 NIH-backed study found strength training throughout life cuts knee arthritis risk, with up to 23% lower odds of knee pain or degeneration — even among light or occasional lifters
- The right combination of strengthening and stretching exercises is beneficial for your knees, as it eases pain by helping to improve the way the joint moves and functions
- The sooner you start smart strength training, the better, since it builds resilience, restores mobility, and reduces pain without requiring intense workouts, fancy equipment, or a gym membership
