Strong Knees, Confident Steps.
Knee pain is a common condition that refers to discomfort, aching, or soreness in or around the knee joint. It can be caused by injuries (like ligament tears or meniscus damage), overuse (such as from repetitive motion or excessive activity), or medical conditions (such as arthritis, bursitis, or infections). The pain can vary in intensity and may affect mobility or stability in the knee.
Symptoms of knee pain can include a persistent ache, sharp pain during movement, or a feeling of instability in the joint. Swelling and stiffness are common, often making it difficult to fully bend or straighten the knee. The area around the knee may feel warm to the touch or appear red, especially if inflammation is present. Some individuals experience a popping or crunching sound when moving the knee, while others may feel as though the joint is locking or giving way. Pain may worsen with physical activity, prolonged standing, or climbing stairs, and in more severe cases, it can interfere with daily activities such as walking or sitting.
