If Standing Up Hurts More Than It Should, This Is Why
Do your knees feel tight, achy, or weak every time you stand up after sitting for a while? You’re not alone — and it’s not just aging. Joint fluid circulation and muscle tightness are major culprits
- Lack of synovial fluid movement: Sitting too long causes joint fluid to stagnate
- Tight hip flexors + weak glutes: These muscles protect your knees.
- Low collagen + hyaluronic acid levels: Support tissue repair and cushioning.
