You probably have knees that collapse (a situation often known as knee valgus) then you’ll wish to watch this video. Whether or not your knock knees are current solely in the course of the backside portion of a squat or are there on a regular basis, you’ll wish to repair them since leaving them alone goes to ultimately wreak havoc in your physique.

The situation often known as knee valgus refers back to the inward pointing of the knees. This creates stress on the within of the knee joint within the type of tensile gapping of the medial collateral ligament, and compression forces and stress on the skin of the joint. Due to the altered place of the knee joint, your motion is affected and the repercussions are sometimes felt increased or decrease within the physique; particularly within the ankles, hips or again.

You will need to perceive that the knee joint itself is a consequential joint. Meaning, that it’s merely a hinge joint that’s on the mercy of what’s going on on the ankle under and the hip above. If the mobility or power of the ankle is altered then the knee goes to be affected by the influence these modifications have on the tibia (the decrease half of the knee joint). If the hips are too tight or missing the power required to stabilize the femur (the higher half of the knee joint) then you’ll have issues on the knee as properly.

On this video, I present you tips on how to confirm whether or not you’ve points within the ankle that you just wish to tackle. As you will note, the ankle can be affected by what occurs on the foot. When you’ve flat toes or over pronated toes, the joints above are dramatically affected. You will need to perceive the causes and the consequences of flat toes so as to have the ability to intervene and do one thing about it so the traditional knee movement and mechanics may be restored.

More often than not, flat toes will trigger the ankle to cave inward and this drags the tibia together with it. The stress is straight away transmitted as much as the knees within the type of a valgus. The peroneal muscle tissues on the skin of the decrease leg get adaptively shortened and tight from being on this place too lengthy. They aren’t the reason for the pronation nevertheless. Their tightness is solely the results of the pronation so that you wish to ensure you strengthen these muscle tissues as properly.

The muscle tissues of the ankle that act as a stirrup that helps the joint are the peroneals and the posterior tibialis muscle. Each of those may be strengthened with the exercises in your ankle proven right here with only a single band. In fact, it would be best to stretch the peroneals as properly and tackle the mushy tissue modifications which have precipitated tightness as proven with the 2 drills within the video.

As for the hip, weak spot of the exterior rotators and abductors is nearly all the time the reason for troubles on the knee. Why is that this? As a result of irrespective of what number of squats we do, we’re merely not addressing the rotation on the hip with out listening to a few of the smaller exercises that always get missed. That is crucial. Right here I present you an train to strengthen each the abductors of the hip with none gear and an train in your hip rotators that requires only a band.

Both of those may be finished just some occasions per week and you will note a dramatic enchancment within the situation of your knee valgus. If you mix the drills for each the ankle and the hip collectively, watch as your knee positioning corrects itself and also you begin shifting higher than you ever have earlier than. Your power ought to enhance as properly since your physique will lastly be working out of its desired alignment.

  1. This is an excellent video- I have this problem on my right side and have started doing your exercises. I also have arthritis and have lost some range of motion bending and strengthening my legs- if you could show some things for that problem it would really help

  2. 3:40 severe knock knees caused by:

    Flat feet which results in the pronation of the foot.

    Hip internal rotation causes femur to drive down and in. So you need to strengthen the externally rotation of hips

  3. Respect and thanks, all I have for you. and I am so so so thankful for you sharing in detail, top to bottom, without dumbing it down or treating us as dumb either. Thank u!

  4. Does anyone feel discouraged by how many problems weightlifting causes? It makes me just want to become super lean and forget muscle growth. Muscles put so much pressure on your body 🙁

  5. Is it actually possible to straighten your knee iver time by strengthening your foot and leg muscles to help with the rotation and so forth. Is will it just be stronger but still crooked knee lol curious

  6. i have flat feet, knock knees, and pronation on my right foot, I'm an older adult, i wear orthotics, and other stabilizing foot, ankle, and knee gear to help stabilize me.

  7. Damn I thought it was genetic thing for me. I have flat feet and knock knees but not as bad since I lost weight but I’ll add this to my regimen

  8. does this really FIX the problem? does it realign the legs/feet in their correct position or does this just relieve pain & prevent further deformities?
    coz i went to an orthopedist yesterday after having an X-ray and he said i have mild osteoarthiritis due to age (38, but it started at least 4 years ago) and genetics (even though i told him nobody in my family has this problem) and he wouldn't give me a scientific explanation for his "diagnosis".
    i was convinced that the problem started coz a) i have flat feet, b) since i emigrated i've been stuck wearing crappy, cheap & flat shoes & flip-flops all summer long coz it's so hot! c) working in jobs where im constantly standing the entire time…this really causes the pain & swelling in my entire leg, backside & even stomach bloating! (however during corona when i was out of work the swelling & bloating disappeared after 2 months & only returned months later when i was able to work again).
    he's only prescribing me orthopaedic insoles & told me nothing will fix my knees that are slightly turning inwards (like the guy in this video) and the insoles will only relieve the pain.

  9. Knee valgus happen bcs of flat feet(in my experience) and u can only fix flat feet by wearing special shoes and unless i do that the problem will just come back to bite me in the ass xD

  10. I just saw this video, and I'm gonna start today and try out this. If really makes the trick, I'm gonna literally make you a statue (I'm a 3d artist)
