Can you step down without your knee caving in? Try the self-test right now, slow, off a low step.
ㅤ
If the knee drifts inward, that's often weak hip control, not a structural problem.
ㅤ
1. Test it → step down slow, watch the knee track
2. Drifts in? → that's usually your gluteus medius (side of the hip) not doing its job
3. Its job → stop the knee from collapsing inward when you load one leg
4. The fix → banded lateral walks, tension held the whole way, no relaxing between steps
ㅤ
Your stiffness is a compensation problem, and compensation can be retrained. Stronger control here and that step-down stops feeling alarming.
