Why are all Japanese bowlegged? Why are Japanese legs bent?
Many friends will find that most Japanese people's legs are bent, especially Japanese girls, who are generally short and walk within eight. In fact, this has a lot to do with Japanese culture. Let me introduce the reason why the Japanese bow their legs.

Why are all Japanese bowlegged?

In fact, the factors that cause Japanese bowlegs are as follows. First of all, this is a tradition of Japanese women. Japanese women have been wearing kimonos since ancient times, and wearing kimonos soon becomes feminine. In the long run, their legs will naturally form arched legs, which is also in their genes; Secondly, the Japanese always eat on their knees, which is also a kind of etiquette in their country, showing a respectful attitude. Even children eat on their knees. This habit has been passed down from generation to generation and has become an arched leg. Finally, bowlegged has become the representative of Kawaii in Japan. In order to look good, many girls deliberately walk out of the figure of eight, and they all like duck sitting, which will also affect the pelvis and thus affect the leg shape.

Why are Japanese legs bent?

① heredity

Although the distribution of muscle and fat will be different, the direction and shape of bones are largely inherited by parents. If their parents have O-legs, the children born are likely to inherit O-legs. However, even if you accidentally inherited your parents' O-legs, don't despair. As long as it is not a congenital genetic disease or the bone itself has been bent, it can still be corrected.

② constitution

According to Japanese occupation, the reason why Japanese people have more O-legs is closely related to their excessive "luxury" physique. The reason is that Japanese people have less muscles than Europeans and Americans. Once the muscle mass decreases, the pressure on the leg bones to support the weight increases, making it easier to bend.

③ Learn to walk early.

Most Japanese babies begin to learn to walk at 9- 10 months after birth, about half a year earlier than in Europe and America. During this period, the baby's bone and muscle strength are not fully developed. If the child learns to walk too early, it will easily lead to bone deformation.

④ tradition of sitting in the front seat

Japan has a tradition of sitting up straight since ancient times. Sitting on the ground with bent legs will undoubtedly add a lot of burden to the leg bones. In addition, the duck seat (ぺたんこり) often used by Japanese girls will also burden the pelvis and lead to the distortion of the leg shape.

O-leg correction

Walking posture

Improper walking posture not only looks unsightly, but also affects the development trend of bones and leg muscles. In the long run, it may lead to leg deformity. Therefore, paying attention to adjusting the walking posture in daily life is conducive to improving the problem of O-legs. A good walking posture should be: upright body → abdomen and straight waist → eyes looking straight ahead, arms swinging naturally at both sides of the body, toes protruding slightly or straight forward, and even steps. In addition, it should be noted that when walking, the body's center of gravity should be placed on the inner side of the leg, which is conducive to correcting the outward bending leg shape.

Clamping action

Whether waiting for the bus or subway, at school or at home, a simple clamping action can help us correct our leg shape, and the essentials of the action are also very simple. As long as you straighten your legs and clamp your knees, every time 15 minutes, 2-3 times a day, you can not only correct the bad leg shape, but also have the effect of stovepipe.

Songshuidaozi method

Matsuyuki, a Japanese acupuncturist, has developed a unique O-leg correction method, that is, drawing a straight line on the ground, or taking the gap between two tiles on the floor at home as a straight line, slightly lifting the hips, walking backwards along the straight line, and mobilizing the muscles and joints of the thighs with a larger stride. When walking backwards, your ankles are slightly bent, your toes are slightly up, and your feet are parallel to the ground. Practice 1-2 times a day.

However, no matter which correction method, only perseverance, perseverance, is the most effective.
