How to fix knock knees

Knock knees is a condition in which the knees touch together. This is not only painful but also can affect your balance, gait and posture making it hard to walk. It may be caused by knee injuries or abnormalities in your leg bones such as short femurs or abnormally shaped tibias. The problem may also be congenital (you were born with it) but this is rare.

Get a proper diagnosis

You should get a proper diagnosis. That means one from a doctor, physical therapist, podiatrist, chiropractor or orthopedist. They can help you decide what is causing your knock knees and how they can be treated. You shouldn't try to fix it yourself by stretching your leg muscles or wearing supportive shoes; these things won't work in the long term because they're addressing only part of the problem rather than all of it.

Use insoles for your shoes

You can also use insoles for your shoes, which are designed to correct the alignment of your feet. The right insole will help make sure that your feet are positioned in their natural position and not sliding outward, so that you aren't putting extra pressure on the outside of each knee that causes knock knees.

Some people find it helpful to wear an insole with a heel lift to bring their heels up slightly higher than normal. This helps keep their ankles aligned properly, which can prevent knock knees from happening as well as other problems like plantar fasciitis (pain in the bottom of your foot). You should talk to a doctor if this sounds like something you would consider trying because he or she will be able to tell you whether wearing an additional heel lift is safe for you and which type might work best for your situation.

You can buy insoles at most pharmacies or shoe stores and have them custom fit by an expert employee there who can measure both feet accurately so they fit properly inside each shoe without pinching any part of them together tightly enough where they overlap on top but not too loose either so they slip off easily when walking across flat surfaces like hallways/rooms etcetera."

Try to lose some weight

• Start a weight loss program. There are many ways you can lose weight, but the best way is to see a doctor and get their advice before starting any type of program.
• Make sure that you're eating healthy foods when you're on a diet. Get rid of any junk food in your house so that it's not easy to eat unhealthy food while trying to lose weight.
• Examples of healthy foods include vegetables like broccoli or spinach, fruits like strawberries and apples, whole grain products such as bread or pasta (as long as they don't contain too much fat), lean meats like chicken breast and fish fillets

Wear wider shoes

To fix knock knees, you'll want to wear shoes that have a bit of extra space in them. This will help improve your posture and balance, which can also be helpful for anyone with knock knees.

Wider shoes can also help with alignment issues and gait problems, so if you're not sure if those are issues for you, it's best to talk with a doctor first before trying wider shoes out.

Exercise regularly

Exercise is a great way to improve your overall health and well-being. It improves balance, strength, flexibility and decreases the risk of falls. Exercise can also help you lose weight and improve your sleep quality.

Exercise can also make you feel better about yourself because it helps you build confidence in your body - allowing you to enjoy exercise more than ever before!

If you treat you knock knees early it can prevent problems later in life.

Knock knees are a common affliction that can cause pain and discomfort. While they're easy to fix, it's best to treat them before they get too severe.

Here's how:

• Stretch your quads, calves, and hamstrings regularly. These muscles are prone to tightness if you sit for long periods of time or engage in activities that don't require much movement of your legs. Stretching these muscles will help keep them flexible and prevent stress on your knee joints.
• Switch things up at the gym! Cardio is great for burning calories, but when it's all you do at the gym (or worse—all you do in life), it can lead to muscle imbalances along with more aches and pains than anyone wants during their workouts or otherwise."

Conclusion

So go ahead and try these tips for yourself! Hopefully, with a little patience and effort, you'll soon be on your way to correcting your knock knees.
