  • Knee stiffness going down the stairs...your knee may not be solely to blame...
    Instead, focusing on this joint can help you unlock stiffness and go down the stairs with ease. This particular joint is chronically tight in those with knee osteoarthritis and often ignored...
    The one secret to fixing stiff knees when going down the stairs is...focusing on the ANKLES. Improving ankle mobility can help to make going down the stairs much easier and allow you to go down one after the other.

    In this video you'll learn three of the best exercises to help improve your ankle mobility from Dr. Alyssa Kuhn, PT and osteoarthritis specialist and Kristin, who is an Adventurer for Life and has a bone on bone knee.
    When asking what was her biggest takeaway from working together and what helped her the most in her journey to finding relief from knee osteoarthritis, she said the ankles were a big eye-opener. She thought the stiffness she had on the stairs was totally attributed to the knee.
    This video can be helpful for you to test your ankle mobility as well as find ways to improve it.

    Thankyou. I'm 53 & my left knee started giving out on my 3yrs ago. I was told its arthritis, but a knee replacement is not necessary yet. Some days are ok, but most days are brutal. Your vidoes are what get me through the day. I used to walk 2-3hrs a day, but now I'm happy if I can walk 45mins. You inspire me not to give up.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

    I would have liked to see her actually go down stairs after these exercises and remark on any differences she experienced.
    ***
    Maybe a video for those who do have knee joint issues.
    For instance, I walk up stairs normally, but lead with the same leg whilst descending, because of intermittent sharp pain of the patellar ligament when it bends more than 90 degrees (necessary for regular locomotion down the stairs). I do a lot of range of motion exercises in the pool with no problem, but it’s weight bearing during bending that exacerbates the issue.
    I also have calcific tendinitis from long-term hypothyroidism.
