Going down the stairs can become difficult if you don't have the adequate muscle control to support your knee joint(s). Not only do you need lower leg strength but you have to be able to control your bodyweight going down the stairs.
If you don't have the adequate control it can lead to pain, tightness, fear and lack of confidence in your leg(s). Good news though...you can regain the control! You just need the right movements to help! It is possible to go down the stairs with ease again.
Dr. Alyssa Kuhn, physical therapist and osteoarthritis specialist explains two of her favorite exercises to help rebuild the strength to support the knee joints, especially with arthritic knees! Even with knee osteoarthritis, it's possible to make your knees feel good again.

I’ve been doing these exercises for about two weeks now and I’m amazed that I’m able to go down the stairs on alternate feet without holding on! I used to go down one foot then bring the other foot on the same stairs holding on! These exercises work! Thank you Dr. Kuhn!
One thing you forgot to mention is that there is a crutch next to you on almost all staircases. The handrail. When you are hanging on to it you are not putting all of the weight on the one knee. You are distributing some of the weight to the arm and handrail. It also helps with balance. Do the exercises and follow her advice but use the handrail!! ❤
My feet , ankles and toes are swollen and painful in the morning and I have 16 stairs to go down every morning. I will work on these exercises ( I am 60, life long arthritis sufferer)
I walk backwards going down stairs, the same way you would walk down a ladder, it’s for me the safest way!! And hold on to the banners!!
I'm from India. 66 years. Going down the stairs is difficult for me. I'm going down sideways for the past 1year. Unfortunately i happened to see your video today. I'll try to follow your method. 🎉🎉
Please do a video on easy exercises for improving balance for seniors with arthritis
This lady is the best!!!
What about going backwards? That is what I do for many years
I’m experiencing pain going down the stairs.Thanks a lot!🫶
I have issues going up the steps. I can walk downstairs better than up.
Your exercises are great and very helpful, thank you so much Alyssa.🙏🙏👏👏👏👌👌💐
Love your videos. You are so informative and kind.
Yes Dr Alyssa you are the best.
Excellent just came at the right time I’m doing your sit stand, 5 reps 4 times a day, was wondering how to strengthen my dodgy leg thanks for providing the next step!
Thank you for the demonstration to improve my staircase abilities either up or down especially going down stairs. I did surgery on my knees more than twenty years after after an accident while moving furnitures. After the surgery and physiotherapy I went to every day activities with no problem, but as I got older pain starts to set in cause by bone and bone
Oh this is something i need so badly! Thank you.
Great and perfect timing. Been having trouble with my left knee. Appreciate you❤️
Absolutely excellent information!
Very helpful video. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you SO MUCH for this! I'm a young person, but I was very rough on my knees as a kid playing soccer, karate, etc. My knee pain got worse and now I'm not as active and it's really been a detriment to my health. Thank you so much for giving me hope and a plan to improve my knee strength and health! Thank you!!!
