Over 60? A physical therapist says this is the one mobility habit to add if your knees feel stiff

A woman holding her knee.

If your knees feel stiffer than they used to, you're not alone. It's common to notice more aches, tightness and reduced mobility in this area as we age, whether that's after a long walk, first thing in the morning or after sitting down for a while. But rather than dismissing creaky knees as simply “getting older”, we can build daily mobility habits that will keep our knees moving comfortably, in our 60s and beyond.

And it doesn’t require much of our time, either. Leah Upton, Physical Therapist at Recover Physio, says that one exercise, done consistently, can be enough to reduce aches and pains in our knees.
