An achy knee is often caused by tightness or weakness in the muscles around the knee. These knee stretches and exercises may help relieve the knee pain. Buy a worksheet with these achy knee relief moves at: https://www.askdoctorjo.com/achy-knee-worksheet

The first exercise to help relieve an achy knee is a quad set. This will not only help strengthen the quad muscle, but it will also help loosen up the knee joint.

Next is a heel slide. This is a great way to get some bending or flexion in the knee. Using a strap can also help get an extra stretch.

The last three stretches are with a strap for some of the muscles that cross the knee joint. A hamstring stretch, IT band (or tensor fasciae lattae) stretch, and a quad stretch should help get rid of some of the achy pain around the knee.

Pure Speed Athletes says:

Hey I’m 17 years old and And am a sprinter and wide receiver for fball. For a long time now my internal rotation has been bad in my legs whereas my external rotation is very good. I have tried to work on internal rotation like the 90/90 stretch but when I do it I feel a sort of tight pain that feels like a string is pulling inside the outside of my knee. So I haven’t been able to do any internal exercises since as it’s too much pain. It’s not like normal knee pain more like a tight pulling. No physio has been able to help me. Do you know what this is?
