    Diagnosed with mild-moderate knee osteoarthritis (OA). I want to stay active but everything seems to hurt. 😣

    Knee osteoarthritis exercise

    Low-impact options my physio suggested

    Exercise Why it works Tip
    Swimming / water walking Zero impact, full range 🏊 Great for warm-up
    Stationary cycling Builds quad strength Seat high, low resistance
    Straight-leg raises Isolated quad activation Do lying down
    Wall sits Isometric knee strength Start 15 seconds

    What to avoid 🚫

    • Deep squats and lunges
    • Running on hard surfaces
    • High-impact jumping

    Questions

    • Has anyone tried knee braces or taping?
    • Does glucosamine actually help? 🤔
    • What is your favourite pain-free exercise?

    Thanks for sharing! 💪
