The most effective way to correct X-shaped legs

X-shaped legs and O-shaped legs are mainly related to genes, and may be rickets caused by lack of vitamin D. It is recommended that mothers should pay attention to their children's nutritional supplements and correct their children's symptoms of X-shaped legs. The correction method for X-shaped legs is to point the toes inward when walking and keep the center of gravity on the inside of the leg. The correct walking posture can relieve the symptoms.

How to correct X-shaped legs

People with X-shaped legs tend to walk with their feet turned outward, that is, when they walk, their toes point outward. When they walk, their legs exert force outward, and the knee joints are subjected to outward force. Over time, when they stand, the knee joints will not be able to close together, resulting in X-shaped legs. Therefore, you should first adjust your walking posture and learn to put your center of gravity on the inside of your legs. A good walking posture should include standing upright, tucked in stomach and straight back, eyes looking straight ahead, arms relaxed and swinging naturally at both sides of the body, toes slightly pointed outward or extended forward, and even strides.

When you first start adjusting, you may feel awkward, as if you can't walk, but it will become natural over time.

1. Remember to do the clamping action whenever you have time.

Whether you are waiting for the bus, in the office, or watching TV, always remember to straighten your legs and squeeze your knees tightly, 3-5 times a day, each time for about 15 minutes. This not only corrects the shape of your legs, but also helps to slim your legs over time, especially your thighs.

2. Bandage correction method

If your knees are rotated outwards in an X-shaped pattern (you tend to walk with your feet turned outwards), the degree of bending is severe. Therefore, in addition to doing clamping exercises, it is best to use more binding correction methods.

Prepare an elastic rubber band or a long cloth band and wrap it evenly around your legs to help you clamp them together.

1) Sit on a chair and put your legs together. Tie the elastic band evenly from below the knees to above the heels.

2) If the binding material used is not an elastic rubber band. Before tying, place a towel on the inside of your heel and knee to avoid pain. When you first tie it, don't over tighten it.

3) After being tied up, stand up and remember to keep your body straight, head up and chest out. Stand for about 15 minutes. If your feet feel painful or numb when you stand, it means they are tied too tightly and you need to untie them and tie them again. It is best to tie it twice a day.

4) You can also squat down while holding the railing or chair back with both hands. Repeat the movement standing up for about 15 minutes each time.

Place your feet shoulder-width apart, with your feet slightly inward and your knees bent inward as you squat and stand up. You don't need to squat completely. Do 20 times in a set, 2 to 4 sets a day. Stick to it for a month and you will see the results.
