Knee degeneration doesn’t only happen to the elderly.
Many adults in KL & Bukit Jalil experience:

• Knee pain when walking or climbing stairs

• Stiffness after waking up

• Pain after sitting for long hours

• Swelling after activity

• Grinding or cracking sound (crepitus)

• Weak knees or unstable joints

• Heaviness or dull pain when it rains

• Difficulty squatting or standing up

From a TCM perspective, this condition indicates Liver–Kidney deficiency, poor circulation, dampness accumulation or Qi–Blood stagnation.
