Hey Shirl! You're welcome! Here's the video you were waiting for: "How to Fix Knock Knees With 3 Simple Exercises" th-cam.com/video/dtEBzENa79A/w-d-xo.html&lc=Ugz6vf2Cx61czROH3el4AaABAg
Thank you for this!!! It’s 100% genetic in my family. Everyone on my moms side has it, I have it, my son has it. Do you recommend any type of leg lifts? I think I have a mid to severe knock knee. I currently do deadlifts and squats, but have difficulty going past 90 degrees for my squats and develop back pain easily when deadlifting. Id say I have proper form, is this something that’s common?
Hey Karima, that's a tough situation to be in :-( That means that you've got either severe weakness or severe losses of motion in your legs/back or both! You've got to start fixing those problems so that you don't get worse. The weaker and stiffer you are, the more arthritis will progress and leave you debilitated in later years of your life. It really makes for a poor quality of life. Please get stronger and more mobile Karima!!!
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy Do you have any tips or suggestions to help me get better with this situation because it even hurt when I walk and I’m just 49ers. Of age
Hi! I have the opposite.....I have osteoarthritis in both knees, but my legs are extremely bowed. I also have osteoporosis in my spine, and osteopenia in my hip. What gives with my legs? Than you! Lana
Hey Lana! Sorry to hear about your osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, osteopenia and your bowed legs :-( There's a similar reason that the legs bow out instead of coming in as we talk about in this video. We'll be doing another video for that sometime. Its usually a genetic factor on top of muscle imbalances. Keep strong in the right muscles! usually the glutes are the culprit.
I got knock knees for being , overweighted and lack of vit/calcium 3 years ago , and i have pretty strong legs like i can leg press 250kg for 12 reps , and since then when i was weak i have knee cracking when i sit alongside ankle and hip , and i think i got a flat foot too , can i fix it if i strengthen my foot and hip muscles? And how long would it take
Hi EH, Thank you so much for your feedback! Dr. David does not have resources for bowlegs as of yet but we appreciate you mentioning it. We will forward your comment to Dr. David so that he may consider it for future content. 🧡
I also would appreciate advice for a bowed leg. I have been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease and apparently not a good candidate for surgery, so I am vey interested in any advice that would help relieve the pain.
Sir is there any possibility that I can send my entire leg picture to you so that I can get assured about my issue....since I don't find any kind of pain when I lift heavy deadlifts squats leg press....but even if I walk for long my knees hurt ....I think its genetics but still not sure....can I reach you via any media to share it ? Looking forward for the response thank you :)

So are you saying that by me strengthening my glutes are making my bowed legs worse? I was trying to make my glutes stronger, and walking the way you suggested. Please advise. Thank you.
Hey Lana Michalski!!! Glute strengthening may or may not make bowed legs worse...it's a bit complicated. If you've always had bowed legs, then it may be genetic and/or vitamin/mineral deficient as a child. For 9 out of 10 people with knee problems, glute strengthening is a GREAT thing for them to be doing to help the knee problem. In fact it may be the main thing to focus on. The only reason to look to stop glute strengthening in your case is if you feel worse in your knees from glute exercises and/or if you've noticed your knees are becoming more bowed. If you've been feeling better in your knees, then keep going!!!
It's such a relief for me to find that my knock knees are aquired and that I can fix it. Thank you! I'm going to work hard!
Hey Lani! We truly hope we can assist you in fixing some of these muscle imbalances!
What if you’re 50 years old, and you’ve had it your whole life and now everything hurts… can I still correct this without surgery?

Also, obese people tend to have acquired knocked knees due to the weight being too much for the hips/knees.
So are you saying that by me strengthening my glutes are making my bowed legs worse? I was trying to make my glutes stronger, and walking the way you suggested. Please advise.
