Knock knees, medically known as Genu Valgum, is a condition where the knees touch but the ankles remain apart while standing straight. Itβs commonly seen in children and may correct itself with age, but in some individualsβespecially adolescents or adultsβit may persist or worsen, leading to pain, poor posture, walking difficulties, and early joint degeneration.
Physiotherapy, under the guidance of Dr. Deepika Bansal, plays a key role in managing knock knees conservatively, especially when surgery isnβt needed. At our clinics in Balewadi, Wakad, Aundh, and Pimple Saudagar, therapy focuses on:
πΉ Strengthening weak muscles β especially the hip abductors, glutes, and quadriceps (VMO)
πΉ Stretching tight structures β such as the iliotibial band and adductors
πΉ Postural correction and gait training to reduce abnormal stress on the knees
πΉ Balance and proprioception training to improve joint stability
πΉ Use of orthotics or footwear modification if flat feet or alignment issues contribute to knock knees
πΉ Corrective exercises like side-lying leg raises, clamshells, resistance band walks, and step-ups
Early physiotherapy can prevent long-term issues like arthritis, instability, and altered gait. Book your assessment with Dr. Deepika Bansal to start a customized knock knee correction program.
