Knee Valgus / Knee Varus

Knee Valgus / Knee Varus


Knee valgus, also known as "knock knees," is a common condition characterized by inward deviation of the knees when standing or walking. This misalignment places increased stress on the knee joint and surrounding structures, leading to pain, instability, and potential injury. Knee valgus can result from various factors, including muscle imbalances, biomechanical issues, injury, or anatomical variations. We provide treatment such as joint mobilization, soft tissue massage, and stretching to improve joint mobility and tissue flexibility. 

Genu varum (bow legs) is improper growth of the tibia in the leg, causing the knees to appear to “bow” out from the body. Varus deformities of the knee cause overloading and cartilage wear in the medial compartment, which could exacerbate degeneration of the knee joint. Severe knee OA is a long-term pathological process that could change the alignment of the entire lower limb and accelerate degeneration of the ankle joint
