10 Best Stiff Knee Pain Relief Exercises
Exercising a stiff knee can help loosen up the joint and the muscles around the joint. These exercises should help relieve a stiff knee. Buy a worksheet with these knee exercises: https://www.askdoctorjo.com/stiff-knee-exercises-worksheet
Starting off with isometric exercises is a great way to activate the muscles, but not make big movements that might be difficult or painful to do.
Once they start to loosen up, bridges seated hip flexion, and seated knee extension (LAQ) will start to progress the movements going through the full range.
Finally, standing exercises will make it a little more challenging, and they will help get rid of the stiffness. Standing hamstring curls, standing hip flexion/extension, standing hip abduction/adduction, and squats with a chair will help get the knee moving.

Thank you 🙂
i have a problem to bend my legs and i find when i bend my strength is lost and it hurts a lot if training to bend my legs can know the way there is to not feel pain when training to bend my legs
I sprained my MCL last June and completed 4 months of PT. I took a break from my daily exercises, continued walking and hoped my sprain would just heal with time. Well, I was wrong and now have a stiff, weak knee that still won’t fully bend. So, I recently began easing myself back into the exercises and am wondering if consistently working my knee will eventually heal my poor MCL. Thanks for your help!
I can't keep my left knee locked and straight without it being bend. Doesn't matter if I sit, stand or walk. What can I do about it?
