Yet, many people don’t realize how much their knees contribute to balance until that sense of security is compromised. A knee that feels wobbly or unstable can make everyday movements like walking on uneven surfaces, climbing stairs, or even standing...

Knee pain is something many of us have experienced at some point in our lives. It can be a fleeting discomfort after a long run, a dull ache after climbing stairs, or a sudden sharp pain when moving in a certain way.
