  • If you have knees that cave in (a condition known as knee valgus) then you are going to want to watch this video. Whether your knock knees are present only during the bottom portion of a squat or are there all the time, you are going to want to fix them since leaving them alone is going to eventually wreak havoc on your body.

    The condition known as knee valgus refers to the inward pointing of the knees. This creates stress on the inside of the knee joint in the form of tensile gapping of the medial collateral ligament, and compression forces and stress on the outside of the joint. Because of the altered position of the knee joint, your movement is affected and the repercussions are often felt higher or lower in the body; namely in the ankles, hips or back.
    It is important to understand that the knee joint itself is a consequential joint. That means, that it is simply a hinge joint that is at the mercy of what is going on at the ankle below and the hip above. If the mobility or strength of the ankle is altered then the knee is going to be affected by the impact these changes have on the tibia (the lower half of the knee joint). If the hips are too tight or lacking the strength required to stabilize the femur (the upper half of the knee joint) then you are going to have problems at the knee as well.
    In this video, I show you how to ascertain whether you have issues in the ankle that you want to address. As you will see, the ankle is also affected by what happens at the foot. When you have flat feet or over pronated feet, the joints above are dramatically affected. It is important to understand the causes and the effects of flat feet in order to be able to intervene and do something about it so the normal knee motion and mechanics can be restored.
    Most of the time, flat feet will cause the ankle to cave inward and this drags the tibia along with it. The stress is immediately transmitted up to the knees in the form of a valgus. The peroneal muscles on the outside of the lower leg get adaptively shortened and tight from being in this position too long. They are not the cause of the pronation however. Their tightness is simply the result of the pronation so you want to make sure you strengthen these muscles as well.
    The muscles of the ankle that act as a stirrup that supports the joint are the peroneals and the posterior tibialis muscle. Both of these can be strengthened with the exercises for your ankle shown here with just a single band. Of course, you will want to stretch the peroneals as well and address the soft tissue changes that have caused tightness as shown with the two drills in the video.
    As for the hip, weakness of the external rotators and abductors is almost always the cause of troubles at the knee. Why is this? Because no matter how many squats we do, we are simply not addressing the rotation at the hip without paying attention to some of the smaller exercises that often get overlooked. This is critical. Here I show you an exercise to strengthen both the abductors of the hip without any equipment and an exercise for your hip rotators that requires just a band.
    Either of these can be done just a few times a week and you will see a dramatic improvement in the condition of your knee valgus. When you combine the drills for both the ankle and the hip together, watch as your knee positioning corrects itself and you start moving better than you ever have before. Your strength should improve as well since your body will finally be operating out of its desired alignment.

    Jeff, thank you!!!!
    First, you fixed my shoulder impingement and internal rotation problems, and now, you are fixing my wife's chronic knee valgus. We are deeply grateful. And, to this day, you are the only physical therapist I have ever heard not prescribe more internal rotation exercises for an internal rotation problem. Common sense to me, but surprising how often people give themselves more of what they don't need. If you got too much of 1 thing, do the opposite - counteract it.
    Rant over. We love your channel and I CANNOT WAIT to meet you!!!! 😎

    Unfortunately for me years of childhood obesity have permanently affected the bone structure of my legs, leaving me with permanently deformed knock knees despite losing 100 lbs. Being told by multiple specialists and physical therapists that my condition couldn't be fixed from anything outside of surgery sucked, a lot. I thought it would prevent me from marching in a drum corps, which had always been a dream of mine. Despite this, I did as many exercises as possible to help me with this issue, and I eventually did end up marching, something I thought would be impossible for me :)

    I only became flat footed after a foot injury and sciatic nerve that got injured around the same time. After than I was limping around and it healed a bit then got worse. After a year of struggling I've gone from high arched to flat footed. After seeing a podiatrist he pointed out that I have over pronation in that same side my injuries were worse on. I kept checking it out in a mirror to realize my right knee was also becoming knocked with my left just starting to follow.
    I'm saving this video to add into my daily life. I'm really hoping it can reverse the damage that has been done over the last year or so.

    I've been running since last year, and had a tibialis posterior injury.... never recovered from that. I thought it was purely overtraining, but probably wasn't the only thing - but even though I had some consultations, I was never told what was going on. I notice my right knee was pointing inwards, told my PT, he said nothing about that. A couple of weeks ago, my right arch was hurting and felt like collapsing (both are naturally low but the other one is OK). I researched a lot and found this video really helpful and insightful to help correct my knee rotation and all the problems it causes, along with other video that help my feet muscles... thank you so much!!

    In my young years, I had severe valgus, corrected by special soles. It reduced the valgus, but I kept it my whole life.
    Now, at 57, I have strong arthritis on my both knees. No doctor or physiotherapist ever told me about specific exercises that could correct the problem. I’ll have to face surgery in the coming years, with protheses as replacement. Better advices in the past could certainly have avoided this finality…..

    Had ACL surgery 2 years ago and have since returned to football. I noticed this earlier this year my knee started swelling regularly after a game and the next day I would really lose a lot of my range of motion on the leg. I was blaming my knee for all of this but since I came across this channel and started doing these exercises addressing the hips & feet, along with other various exercises, I've found things have really improved. For example I played football yesterday and still have full range of motion today and no knee swelling!
    I also got insoles for my football boots to help with any flat feet issues and as soon as I came home I was regularly icing my knee. Delighted with the progress so far!

    Jeff, I had some severe inner knee pain come from out of the blue a few days ago. Totally debilitating. I've purchased a couple of Athlean-X programs over the years, so I often watch your corrective videos too. Doing these stretches and correctives immediately started bringing relief to that inner knee pain. It got me thinking, if you ever considered putting together an entire program of correctives that is a SKU I would buy.
