Calf valgus may be an X-shaped leg or an X-O-shaped leg. If the knees and ankles can be close together, but the calves are turned outwards, it is an X-O leg; If the knees can be together, but the ankles can't be together, accompanied by calf valgus, it is an X-shaped leg.
Both X-shaped and X-O-shaped legs are caused by thigh pronation and gluteal weakness, which leads to body pressure concentrated on the outside of the knee and calf valgus. Calf valgus is only a superficial phenomenon, and the problem you need to solve is knee buckle.
X-shaped legs need to increase the strength of gluteal muscles, let gluteal muscles stretch the femur, and adjust the leg shape and joints. XO legs need to adjust knees and ankles and stretch the muscles inside thighs.
You can use self-weight hip bridge and one-legged hip bridge, or improve it through this group of yoga exercises.
Need to be reminded: the video only shows one side, and the other side needs to be done by yourself. Feel the different changes in your legs after you finish.
If you are not interested in these movements, you can also massage with a foam shaft to make the calf lines more beautiful.
The specific method is: put the foam shaft on the front side of the thigh and roll back and forth. Then put the foam shaft on the outside of the thigh and roll it back and forth. Finally, put it on the inner thigh and roll it back and forth. Let your thigh muscles relax fully.
In addition, in daily life, there are many details that will aggravate the calf valgus.
1. Adjust your walking posture. In the process of walking, try to feel the order of stress on the soles of the feet: heel, lateral foot and medial foot. Balance strength, don't worry.
2. Don't cross your legs. Crossing your legs will lead to pelvic tilt, deepen pelvic pressure, and lead to uneven human impact.
3. Don't walk for eight minutes, it's not cute at all, it's not cute at all, it'll only make your calf crawl over seriously.
Calf valgus will affect the leg shape and make our legs look thick and short.
.
At the same time, calf valgus is a bad posture, so it is easier to get knee injuries if you exercise at ordinary times.
Then fitness correction of calf valgus will generally be solved in three ways, which is more useful for mild calf valgus.
Only by lifting your legs against the wall can you correct calf valgus by stretching.
Lift your legs against the wall to relax your knees, then stretch your knees to adjust their position and correct calf valgus.
Then if the purpose is to correct calf valgus, when lifting the leg against the wall, the toes should be outward and separated to both sides.
In other words, don't lift your legs against the wall in the form of an inner figure, but lift your legs against the wall in the form of an outer figure.
Standing lift heel can correct calf valgus by improving tibialis anterior's strength and stabilizing knee joint.
Some people think that this action will make the calf thicker, but in fact, girls will not practice much thicker, but the correction effect is obvious.
When standing and lifting the heel, always keep the thigh tight, so that the knee is not prone to hyperextension injury.
In addition, we use the external eight-character stance to make the stance lift the heel, which can be better corrected.
Leggings are suitable for severe calf valgus, which can be corrected by physical traction.
But the process of leggings is very painful, so many people can't persist.
Then don't wear the leg strap for too long. Generally, half an hour a day is enough. Don't wear it to sleep.
At present, surgical correction of calf valgus is not recommended, unless calf valgus seriously affects daily activities and brings pain, surgical correction can be considered.
I am Wangwang exorcist,
The problem of calf valgus has been found, and only by understanding the reasons can it be corrected purposefully.
Calf valgus, also known as X-leg, is a kind of leg type that knees can be close together when standing normally, but calves can't be close together.
In fact, the calf valgus mentioned in daily life is not as serious as that mentioned above, that is, the two calves form a bracket from the back.
Leg valgus is knee valgus, also known as X-leg. The main reasons may be relaxation of medial collateral ligament, congenital dysplasia of lateral femoral condyle, or osteoarthritis in the elderly. Clinically, it can be treated by surgery. There are many different surgical methods for genu valgus, which need to be judged according to your specific situation. If it is only mild valgus, that is, valgus with valgus angle less than 15 degrees, you can consider leg orthopedic exercise first. However, surgery is still the main treatment for this disease. If it has affected your physical beauty and normal life, I suggest you go to the orthopedic department of the hospital and listen to the doctor's advice. Thank you.
What's going on here? See a surgeon. The doctor has an idea.
