Why Your Knees Hurt As You Age and How to Fix It:
- Every step you take puts massive pressure on your knees, approximately one and a half times your weight.
- Knee pain can result from an overuse hurt in which you damage a muscle, ligament, or tendon or a sudden accident.

Muscles provide power, allowing us to move and keep our knees and other joints. Muscle strength rises around 25 and plateaus in our 30-40s. After that, it begins to drop and can do so rapidly without a daily exercise routine. By age 65, our muscles can make roughly 73 percent of peak force. These truths about muscle aging are essential when considering how knees age because muscle weakness causes excess stress on the knee joints. Over time, we can accelerate how our knees age if we let our bodies weaken without exercise.
The large muscles of the leg (the quadriceps, calves, hamstrings, and even glutes) all help the knee. Symmetric and good strength in these groups provides our knees sufficient support as we walk, move, and climb. Exercising as we age is vital in supporting our knees to be healthy and strong. Here are a few things to lessen the effects of aging on the knee.
Get appropriate exercise
You've heard the phrase "Use it or lose it." That could be applied to your joints. Training is necessary to stay healthy and mobile until you age. But as you age, you'll likely need to modify your training regimen. Your joints are not as powerful as they were when you were 30. Save them from overuse injuries. Adjust your workout to your changing ability.
It's time to give up your deep squats when you were a 25-year-old weightlifter. If you were a runner, you might require a change to rowing or cycling. Isn't that a better option than wearing out your knees by the time you're 65? If you love the water, swimming is an excellent non-weight-bearing activity. Gentle and senior yoga help keep your range of motion and flexibility.
Lose weight
If your BMI exceeds 25, you'll do your knees a favor by slimming down. You may assume that 20 pounds overweight isn't that outsized, but each extra pound adds four more pounds of pressure on your knees, so you have 80 pounds of excess pressure on your knee joints. Over time, it quickens cartilage impairment and deterioration.
Choose appropriate footwear
Standing on concrete or another hard surface can hurt your knees for extended periods. Utilize cushioned inserts, or, if your condition warrants get prescription orthotics that supply extra support. It's simple to lose your balance on stiletto heels; pick a lower heel and go for comfort.
Whether it's from arthritis or an overuse injury, your knee pain can be mitigated when an Urgently Ortho physician presents the most helpful treatment for your situation. If it's a minor injury, you may require the RICE strategy: rest, ice or heat, compression, and elevation of your leg, along with a brief brace. If your range of motion is affected, your physician may prescribe physical therapy to help you regain it. Injections can deliver significant pain relief if your pain is severe; they give you time to think about longer-term methods like platelet-rich plasma treatment or if required, surgery.
Strengthen your upper and lower leg muscles. Perform exercises that focus on your hamstrings, quadriceps, gluteus muscles, hip flexors, and psoas.
Stretch those leg muscles to support your entire range of motion. Try including yoga into your stretching routine.
Keep a suggested weight. Excess pounds add significant pressure to the knees. Even a 10-pound weight loss can make a huge difference.
Select low-impact activities to protect the cartilage in your knees. Cardiovascular exercises such as cycling (on a properly fitted bike) and swimming can help maintain healthy knee cartilage and contain future damage.
