🚶♂️ Knee Arthritis? Don’t Stop Walking — Just Walk Smarter.
Walking is one of the simplest ways to stay active when you have knee osteoarthritis. But the right pace is not the same for everyone.
👉 A moderate pace of around 2–3 mph (3.2–4.8 km/h) can be a practical target for many people.
But remember: comfort comes first.
✅ Start slowly and build up gradually
✅ Choose a comfortable, level walking surface
✅ Wear supportive, comfortable footwear
✅ Combine walking with appropriate strengthening exercises
⚠️ Slow down or seek professional advice if you develop increasing pain, significant swelling, limping, or instability.
Your best walking speed is the one you can sustain comfortably and consistently.
Move regularly. Progress gradually. Listen to your knees. 🦵
