Methods for correcting calf valgus

Calf valgus is a relatively common type of condition that affects people's image and personal health. In fact, this condition of calf valgus is related to not paying attention to correcting one's leg shape, such as X-shaped legs, O-shaped legs, etc. At this time, you should try to stand straighter, adjust your standing and sitting posture, and adjust it in time when sleeping, and slowly practice to correct it.

1. Correction of "X" and "O" shaped legs: Healthy, slender and well-proportioned legs are an important sign of human beauty. "X" and "O" shaped legs are taboo because they seriously affect the beauty of the body.

If you want to make your legs grow normally, you just need to master the method of measuring the legs. Stand with your feet as close together as possible and your legs straight and close together. Then use a common compass to measure the distance between the two inner ankles and between the inner sides of the two knees. If the distance is within 1.5 cm, it is normal; if the distance between the two inner knees reaches 2.5 cm, it is moderate "O" bow legs; if it reaches more than 3.5 cm, it is severe "O" bow legs; if the distance between the two inner ankles reaches 2. 5 cm is moderate "X"-shaped legs, and more than 3.5 cm is severe "X"-shaped legs.

For the correction of these two types of leg deformities, the younger the person is, the better the effect, and the effect will be poorer after the age of 30. Here are some correction methods.

①Correction method of wearing corrective shoes: wear specially made corrective shoes. The sole of this corrective shoe is thicker on the outside of each sole for "O" shaped legs, and thicker on the inside of each sole for "X" shaped legs. Depending on the degree of individual leg deformity, the thickness of the inner and outer sides of the sole should also be different. However, when you first start wearing corrective shoes, the thickness can be slightly smaller, and then gradually increase according to the requirements of correction. When standing or walking in corrective shoes, make sure the entire sole of the foot is in contact with the sole, and the torso and legs must be kept as straight as possible. In addition, avoid carrying various heavy objects for long periods of time.

This method is simple and easy, with good results. Usually, you should wear corrective shoes for about a year. If you can't buy corrective shoes on the market, you can make them yourself.

②Try to change the bad foot shape when walking: Generally speaking, people with "X"-shaped legs tend to walk in an outward "figure eight" shape, and people with "O"-shaped legs tend to walk in an inward "figure eight" shape. Therefore, in combination with air corrective shoes, you should try to change the bad foot shape when walking.

③Corrective gymnastics

The specific steps of the "O" leg correction gymnastics are:

Place an object between your knees, squat down and then stand up, making sure the object does not fall. Repeat 9 times (1 set), and do 7-9 sets in total.

Stand with legs apart, feet parallel and slightly wider than shoulders, half squat, knees inward, and use both hands to press calves inward from both sides at the same time. Hold for 6 to 9 seconds, then stand up and relax. Repeat 9 times.

Kick your calf flatly outward, as if you were kicking a blanket with the outside of your foot, one time on each side, keeping your calf as flat as possible, and do this 81 times in a row. It would be better if you could kick shuttlecock or a small sandbag.

Specific practice of "X" leg correction gymnastics

Sit on a chair, support your arms behind you, clamp a soft object at your ankles, and place your heels on the ground. Use your heels to stretch your legs forward as far as possible while holding the soft object, and keep it from falling. Pause for 4 to 5 seconds, then return to the original position and relax. Do this 9 times in a row (1 set), for a total of 3 sets. The object to be clamped should be thicker at first and then gradually become thinner.

Sit on the bed, bend your knees, put the soles of your feet together, place your hands on the inside of your knees, and then press down as far as you can in a gentle and forceful manner. Pause for 4 to 5 seconds, then return to the original position and relax. Repeat 9 times (1 set), 3 sets in total.

Kick both calves inward alternately, like kicking a shuttlecock. Try to kick the calves as flat as possible. Kick 81 times in a row. If you can kick a shuttlecock or a small sandbag, the effect will be better.
