Does climbing stairs make your knee pain worse?
Stair climbing puts greater pressure on your knees than walking on flat ground. Pain while climbing stairs may be an early sign of muscle weakness, knee joint problems, cartilage wear, or improper movement patterns.
The good news? With the right physiotherapy assessment, strengthening exercises, and targeted rehabilitation, the pain can often be reduced and your mobility improved.
Don't ignore persistent knee pain. Early treatment can help you stay active and avoid further problems.
