The surgery for bowlegs is excessive and unnecessarily invasive. Exercises do not
work as your bones are already set.

Bow legs, also known as genu varum, is a condition in which the knees separate
widely when the subject stands with feet and ankles together. The most frequent
cause is an abnormal angle in the knee joint where your “thigh bone connects to your
leg bone”. Common causes of bow legs include Blount’s disease, improperly healed
fractures, lead or fluoride poisoning, Rickets and vitamin D deficiency.

Stretching and exercise are the most effective ways to treat bow legs, but nutritional
supplements, especially vitamin D, may also be helpful. Focus on exercises that

While most of the following bow legs exercises won’t completely cure bow legs, they
will improve your posture which should strengthen your legs and reduce the severity
of the condition. Some of the following exercises can have quite good results when
performed by children so they are definitely worth trying.

• Yoga – Although yoga isn’t the easiest exercise to perform if you have bow
legs you can bind your legs together using a yoga strap in order to make
things easier. Yoga helps to improve flexibility and body alignment and the
moves are known to improve the condition.

• Pilates – Pilates is similar to yoga in as such that it helps to improve posture

and body alignment. Exercises like ballerina arms and roll-up in particular
can help to strengthen and tone the leg muscles.

• Massage Therapy – This is usually performed on children and has been

known to alleviate the severity of bow legs when performed regularly.
Massage therapy involves having the legs moved around by a trained
therapist in order to encourage the legs to straighten as they grow. One
method that you might want to try is straightening the leg and then bending
it up to your chest. You must repeat this action multiple times to see the
benefits.

• Leg Strengthening – By performing leg strengthening exercises you can

help to strengthen the muscles surrounding your knees and hence alleviate
some of the pressure that is being placed on your bow legs. These are most
effective in people who only have a slight bow in their legs and generally
involve placing a weight between the feet and bending and re-straightening
the legs. You have to bend your legs until you touch your buttocks. Do as
many reps as you can. Start with a light weight, could be a pillow and
gradually increase it (dumbbell) as you progress.

leg strengthening exercises definitely help bow legs sufferers.

Originally Answered: What are the best exercises to correct bow legs?

There are good exercises for bow legs.

Actually you dont need to do extra or some kind of different exercise for it.
You can go with regular leg exercises but you will just have change the position or
gesture of your legs during exercises.

The best way to do,

Make “v” shape legs while doing leg exercises. And hold the legs at middle position
during working out.
