When the knees are close together, the distance between the ankles is too large and the ankles cannot be brought together.


Causes

  • Problems with innate skeleton structure

  • Anterior pelvic tilt

  • Insufficient hip muscle strength

  • Overactive/tight hip adductors

  • Hip internal rotation

  • Collapse of arches

  • Pronation of the ball of the foot

  • Tibial internal rotation


Symptom

  • The knees protrude inward when bearing weight

  • Knees constantly rubbing

  • Uneven stress on the knee joint

  • Continuous pulling of medial ligaments and soft tissues

  • Poor appearance


Treatment

  1. Acupuncture: Relaxes tight muscles

  2. Sports therapy: After resolving acute pain, strengthens the intrinsic muscles of the sole and makes the sole more stable

  3. Focused Shockwave: Causes micro-trauma to the diseased plantar fascia and induces the body's repair mechanism

  4. Electromagnetic field therapy: Helps reduce swelling, inflammation, and pain caused by tendonitis


Possible consequences of not treating early

  • Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome

  • Accelerate knee joint degeneration

  • Asymmetrical feet

  • Lower back pain

  • Hallux valgus
