Knock Knees

What is Advance pain managment

Understanding, Managing & Treating Knock Knees with Physiotherapy Knock Knees, medically known as Genu Valgum, is a condition where the knees angle in and touch one another when the legs are straightened. This can affect a person’s gait, posture, and, over time, may lead to joint discomfort or pain in the knees, hips, or ankles.

Common Causes

  • Normal Developmental Phase (common in children aged 2–5)
  • Vitamin D or Calcium Deficiency (Rickets)
  • Obesity
  • Post-Traumatic Bone Injuries
  • Genetic or Neuromuscular Conditions




    Signs & Symptoms

    • Knees touch while ankles remain apart when standing
    • Waddling or awkward walking pattern
    • Knee, hip, or ankle pain (especially in teens/adults)
    • Difficulty in running or physical activities
    • Uneven shoe wear

    When Should You Be Concerned?

    • If knock knees persist beyond age 7–8
    • If it appears suddenly or worsens rapidly
