Q. Can it be corrected at home with exercise alone?

Q: Can it be corrected at home with exercise alone?

It is possible to prevent bow legs with care at home. Where it has already progressed to some degree, however, or where there is change in soft tissue such as muscle, tendon and ligament, correcting it alone is difficult. There is something else to be careful about. Stretching or exercise that does not suit your condition, or movements done wrongly, can make bow legs worse instead. Before copying a movement you saw on the internet, it is better to check which type you have now. At Jinju Dangdang Korean Medicine Clinic we identify the cause by examination, correct accordingly, and also show you exercises you can do at home to help prevent recurrence.
