Sore knees are a common problem, but why? And is there anything you can do about it?
Trainer Carrie Baxter from fitness app Mvmnt says painful knees are typically caused by inflammation, prolonged overuse or fatigue, previous injury, or simply tightness around the joint. "Weakness, tightness or imbalances in the surrounding muscles, especially the hamstrings and glutes, is another common culprit," says Baxter.
