For people with O-shaped legs, when standing and walking, they exert force on the muscles on the outside of the leg, but not on the inside. Therefore, the leg muscles are unevenly developed, with more muscles on the outside and less muscles on the inside. In this way, the outline of the leg muscles formed is curved. Visually, people with O-shaped legs often have shorter legs than normal. People with O-shaped legs mostly walk with an outward splay, that is, when walking, the toes point outwards. When walking, the legs will exert outward force, and the knee joints will be exerted outward force. Over time, the knees will be stretched when standing. The joints will be unable to close together and become O-shaped legs. Therefore, you must first adjust your walking posture and learn to put your center of gravity on the inside of your legs. Good walking posture should be with the body upright, abdomen straight and waist straight, eyes straight ahead, arms relaxed and swinging naturally on both sides of the body, toes pointed slightly outward or straight ahead, and strides evenly.
After correcting the leg shape, the legs will visually become taller.
When you first adjust it, you may feel it's awkward, as if you can't walk, but it will become natural after a while. Whether you are waiting for the bus, in the office, or watching TV, you must always remember to straighten your legs and clamp your knees firmly, 3-5 times a day, for about 15 minutes each time. This not only corrects the shape of the legs, but also has the effect of slimming the legs over time, especially the thighs.
If your legs and knees are O-shaped legs that rotate outwards (it is easy to walk with a splayed figure), the degree of bending is serious. Therefore, in addition to clamping exercises, it is best to use binding methods for correction.
Prepare elastic rubber bands or long cloth straps and wrap them evenly around your legs to help tighten them.
1) First sit on a chair and put your legs together. Tie the rubber band evenly below the knees and above the heels.
2) If the binding used is not an elastic rubber band. Before binding, put a towel on the inside of the heel and the inside of the knee to avoid pain. When tying it for the first time, don't tighten it too much.
3) Stand up after being tied up. Remember to straighten your body, raise your head and chest, and stand for about 15 minutes. If you feel pain or numbness when standing, it means the binding is too tight. At this time, you need to untie it and re-binding it. It is best to tie up twice a day.
4) You can also squat with both hands on the railing or the back of the chair. Repeat the action of standing up for about 15 minutes each time.
Put your feet shoulder-width apart, buckle your feet slightly inward, and buckle your knees inward to squat and stand up. You don’t need to squat completely. One group of 20 times, do 2 to 4 groups every day. If you stick to it for a month, you will see the results.
