The #1 Shoe Mistake Seniors Make at Home (Knee Pain Trigger) | Dr. Mandell

Описание: "If you’re over 60 and your knees ache after walking, standing, or even cooking at home… the problem may not be “just age.” One of the biggest hidden triggers can be what’s on your feet every day—even the pair that feels the most “comfortable.”

In this video, we break down 3 common shoes that quietly sabotage knee alignment and increase joint stress, especially if you have stiffness, arthritis, or pain going down stairs. You’ll learn what to toss, why it hurts your knees, and what to wear instead so you can walk with less pain, better balance, and more confidence.

In this video you’ll discover:

Why worn-out sneakers can lose cushioning and become uneven, forcing your knee into subtle twisting over thousands of steps

Why heels (even “small” ones) can shift pressure into the front of the knee and change knee loading mechanics

Why backless slippers / slides / flip-flops can cause toe-gripping, shorter steps, reduced stability, and higher fall risk

Simple “better shoe” checklist (knee-friendly):

✅ Stable heel (firm heel counter)
✅ Supportive sole (not paper-thin, not overly squishy)
✅ Roomy toe box (toes can spread naturally)
