Can stretching make your legs straighter? What are the ways to stretch your legs?

Due to the growth of human bones and the inability to maintain complete balance when walking, this will cause some abnormal deviations in the bones. Stretching the legs can correct bone growth, but the prerequisite is that you need to do the stretching exercise for a long time.

Stretching the legs is the simplest way to correct leg shape. Generally speaking, there are several effective ways of stretching the legs. First is the side leg stretch. Side stretch and side step stretch mainly change the lateral flexibility of the legs by applying lateral pressure to the legs. Therefore, it is more effective in correcting O-shaped legs.

Another way to stretch your legs is the direct stretch, which involves sitting on the ground with your legs straight and close to the ground. If there is any part of your leg that is not in the right shape, you can put your hands there to apply appropriate pressure. This kind of leg stretching is more suitable for shaping the legs, so you can hold on for a little longer and then get up and move around.

Don't force yourself when stretching your legs, especially if your legs are a little reluctant to do it. You should proceed step by step and not rush for results. Moreover, body training is a long process and the right mentality is also necessary. Generally, when stretching your legs, you only need to make your legs feel stretched and relaxed. Then after stretching your legs, you can do some exercise to relax.

Increase running and other exercises appropriately. You can do some running exercises after stretching your legs. Also, remember to use normal posture while running or walking. The purpose of doing this is mainly to exercise your walking posture and reduce the impact of bad leg shape on your walking posture.

Some exercise methods are often used to train leg shape. For example, when you stand up straight, try to keep your knees together. Then do up and down squats. The knees will be under pressure every time you squat up and down, so be sure to exert force to bring your knees together.

If the leg shape is caused by pathology, it is best to consult a doctor about how to correct it. Because the deformation caused by pathology is a long-term accumulation process, general methods are difficult to achieve effective results.
