Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement, Dr. Saurabh Gupta's Response
Hello, Thanks for your query. Knock knees is a condition in which the knees touch, but the ankles do not touch. The legs turn inward. Candidates with little knock knees can start exercising and yoga to cure this problem, few of the exercise and treatments for knock knees are: Take vitamin D and calcium supplements, vitamin C supplements. Virasana, or hero pose, is effective in treating flat feet and knock knees. Keep a block between thighs and try to move your legs as close as you can, hold it for 3 mins, keep repeating. In a standing position, bring the legs 4 feet apart and stretch the arms out to the side. Turn the right toes to the right and deeply bend the right knee. Activate the arches and keep the right knee touching the wall. Hold for 30 seconds and repeat on the other side. I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
