Knee pain can undoubtedly cause challenges to your daily life, certainly if your livelihood is centred around standing on your feet for long periods of time.

While everyone can develop knee pain, those at greater risk are individuals over the age of 50, arthritis or osteoarthritis sufferers, and athletes. Therefore, even if you are not yet suffering, it is important to take precautions early on so you can preserve your knees for your future self.

Though it may sound counterintuitive, walking is actually a great way to help prevent knee pain. Regular exercise maintains and builds muscle to help support your knees and maintain the function of the joints. So, to ensure you can continue leading an active lifestyle, here are our top tips to effectively reduce knee pain while walking.

TIPS TO REDUCE KNEE PAIN WHILE WALKING
Do Warm Up Exercises

Do Warm Up Exercises

Warming up ahead of your walk is a crucial step in reducing your knee pain. By generating heat in your body, you increase the blood flow around the knees and allow more oxygen to reach your muscles, which helps reduce pain. Exercises such as leg swings, ankle rotations and arm circles are simple yet effective warm-up movements. 

Here’s why warm-up exercises can reduce knee pain while walking:

  • Less impact on your knees and joints when walking
  • Improved range of motion and movement
  • Increases blood circulation
  • Muscles feel primed, stretched and less stiff

Start Slow and Build Up Gradually

Starting slow and building up your step count weekly is the best way to ensure your knee pain does not worsen, whilst you work to strengthen the muscles. A study conducted by the National Library of Medicine showed that aiming for just 6000 steps a day can greatly decrease your knee pain over time. However, everybody is unique, so if you find that 6000 steps is too vigorous, simply decrease your step goal to a number you feel comfortable with and build up at your own pace.

Here’s how starting slow can help reduce knee pain while walking:

  • Improved longevity and durability
  • It will ease the pain around the knee joints and muscles
  • Injury prevention

Choose Softer Surfaces

Choose Softer Surfaces

As it also applies to running, it is important to understand that your walking surface matters and can greatly affect your knee pain and foot health. Concrete surfaces can often exacerbate the pain, while soft tracks made from rubber, grass, dirt, pea gravel and even treadmills are more absorbing and gentle on the knees and joints.

Here’s why softer surfaces can help reduce knee pain while walking:

  • Injury prevention
  • Less force is being applied to the knees
  • Improved longevity and durability
