Knee feels stiff and tight

I have a right knee which feels stiff sometimes. Even though there is no pain but sometimes the knee feels stiff or weak. I have flat feet and I feel that the pronation of the feet might be the cause of it. Can I get rid of the stiffness with exercises or should I need to visit a physio? I do dance and exercise regularly
