Stiff knees and lack of flexibility...... My knees have stiffened up greatly this past month. I ride a stationary bike (walk with a cane) for exercise. Any specific exercises and/or stretches to deal with stiff knees?

Yes I agree aqua therapy in warm water is the best! If you can do it warm salt water for the buoyancy is even better
