How to Fix Knee Valgus (KNEES THAT CAVE IN!)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 мар 2018
- If you have knees that cave in (a condition known as knee valgus) then you are going to want to watch this video. Whether your knock knees are present only during the bottom portion of a squat or are there all the time, you are going to want to fix them since leaving them alone is going to eventually wreak havoc on your body.

The condition known as knee valgus refers to the inward pointing of the knees. This creates stress on the inside of the knee joint in the form of tensile gapping of the medial collateral ligament, and compression forces and stress on the outside of the joint. Because of the altered position of the knee joint, your movement is affected and the repercussions are often felt higher or lower in the body; namely in the ankles, hips or back.
It is important to understand that the knee joint itself is a consequential joint. That means, that it is simply a hinge joint that is at the mercy of what is going on at the ankle below and the hip above. If the mobility or strength of the ankle is altered then the knee is going to be affected by the impact these changes have on the tibia (the lower half of the knee joint). If the hips are too tight or lacking the strength required to stabilize the femur (the upper half of the knee joint) then you are going to have problems at the knee as well.
In this video, I show you how to ascertain whether you have issues in the ankle that you want to address. As you will see, the ankle is also affected by what happens at the foot. When you have flat feet or over pronated feet, the joints above are dramatically affected. It is important to understand the causes and the effects of flat feet in order to be able to intervene and do something about it so the normal knee motion and mechanics can be restored.
Most of the time, flat feet will cause the ankle to cave inward and this drags the tibia along with it. The stress is immediately transmitted up to the knees in the form of a valgus. The peroneal muscles on the outside of the lower leg get adaptively shortened and tight from being in this position too long. They are not the cause of the pronation however. Their tightness is simply the result of the pronation so you want to make sure you strengthen these muscles as well.
The muscles of the ankle that act as a stirrup that supports the joint are the peroneals and the posterior tibialis muscle. Both of these can be strengthened with the exercises for your ankle shown here with just a single band. Of course, you will want to stretch the peroneals as well and address the soft tissue changes that have caused tightness as shown with the two drills in the video.
As for the hip, weakness of the external rotators and abductors is almost always the cause of troubles at the knee. Why is this? Because no matter how many squats we do, we are simply not addressing the rotation at the hip without paying attention to some of the smaller exercises that often get overlooked. This is critical. Here I show you an exercise to strengthen both the abductors of the hip without any equipment and an exercise for your hip rotators that requires just a band.
Either of these can be done just a few times a week and you will see a dramatic improvement in the condition of your knee valgus. When you combine the drills for both the ankle and the hip together, watch as your knee positioning corrects itself and you start moving better than you ever have before. Your strength should improve as well since your body will finally be operating out of its desired alignment.

Please make part 2 and give us some more exercises like primary, intermediate and advanced level exercises to fully solve the problem. Thank you you're a gift from god best channel on whole internet
Hi, want to ask you something about elbow valgus, i got one and i want to deadlift, please explain. 💪
If I follow this training day in and day out ( like i am), Do I need an expensive corrective OA brace?
Sir plz make a video on bow leg
This is the type of video that should be studied... not just watched... people pay hundreds of dollars for this information & it's here for free. Thank you Jeff.🐐
Thank you I'm going to do this. Awesome dog🤗
Amen brother.
i made a video of my knock knees, i tried exercising, but feel surgery is best option although im scared
Great information!
Shut up this knowledge should be free
every question i have now has been answered by this guy long ago! Mad Lad! total respect
FAX! this nigga know everything 💀
I've learnt more about anatomy from Jesse, Jeff and Raymond than my Biology teacher.
We had some homework to do on various joints and I accidentally slipped in info from 4:10 - 4:30.
At the bottom of the paper there was a single comment which said..
"See me".
Been a while since I heard mad lad lol
Faxx
@@wym.xzavier he’s a physical therapist he does this for a living
I wish someone had taught me this when I was a child. I'm on recovery of my second knee surgery. Literaly, this condition kills your knees.. Love yourself, loose wieght and do the excersice, you will save pain and money.
Alejandra Trujillo am 19 is it possible for me to fix it without surgery?
@@kimez1545 yeeees,just go jogging every morning and follow this youtube tips ,you will be fine
@@kimez1545 it depend on the cause of this valgus knee, and there are two possible onee, first is a bone's condition that make bones be have abnormal shape, the second is muscles and ligaments
If you suffer from the second cause this exercises in the video maybe can help you
@@Guts_Brando lol no
Yo bro only seeing this comment just now, i had 2 knee operations already and it stil not fixed.. Would like to know more about yours
This was too well presented to not praise with a comment
Jeff, thank you!!!!
First, you fixed my shoulder impingement and internal rotation problems, and now, you are fixing my wife's chronic knee valgus. We are deeply grateful. And, to this day, you are the only physical therapist I have ever heard not prescribe more internal rotation exercises for an internal rotation problem. Common sense to me, but surprising how often people give themselves more of what they don't need. If you got too much of 1 thing, do the opposite - counteract it.
Rant over. We love your channel and I CANNOT WAIT to meet you!!!! 😎
Avatar Nate How are her results? Did her Knee Valgus improve?
Nate have noticed any improvement in your wife's condition?
Any improvement?
Which vid for shoulder impingement?
How many days did it take for your wife to improve
Those were very good stretches. I have not one but both flat feets and its been causing pain in my plantar, knees, glutes medias and lower back. You're videos makes me understand things that I am not aware of and helps me alot.. Really thank you Jeff 💕
6 years later and this video helped tremendously! My orthopedic doctor said my knee issue is a combo of low arch support (pronation), slight externally rotated knee cap and knock knees. Basically said everything you’ve mentioned but you’ve broken it down to the root cause and how to tackle the issue physiologically. Thank you!
Nothing like a fully researched and totally easy to comprehend video. Keep up! Thank you for this one.
The GOAT of body mechanics, rehabilitation and strength......After 40 years of motosports, racing everything and a ton of surgeries and broken bones. I wish I knew of Jeff many many years ago I would still be racing to this day.....I've never felt better but I have a long way to go......Thanks Jeff....
this guy is so good at what he's doing. earned my subscription. I thought it comes from jeans and can not be normalized. you're such an angel
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL! You are saving me pain, turmoil, surgery, and hopelessness. I'm going to get on this today. Gawd-bless you for sharing this incredible self-healing protocol.
I just found this channel and I have to say, The knowledge this guy has is priceless.
Unfortunately for me years of childhood obesity have permanently affected the bone structure of my legs, leaving me with permanently deformed knock knees despite losing 100 lbs. Being told by multiple specialists and physical therapists that my condition couldn't be fixed from anything outside of surgery sucked, a lot. I thought it would prevent me from marching in a drum corps, which had always been a dream of mine. Despite this, I did as many exercises as possible to help me with this issue, and I eventually did end up marching, something I thought would be impossible for me :)
Similar situation here since I was young up until 17ish I was pushing close to 300 pounds, My highest weight was around 292, from old pictures I can see how badly I had knocked knees, right now I'm at about 180 and it's gotten better but it's still fairly noticeable, luckily hasn't stopped me from running and weight lighting but I have constant knee pain where it can just ache if it's too cold out sometimes
Please start megadosing vitamin D3 and take vitamin k2 or a powerful probiotic.
My dad has dislocated both shoulders multiple times and doctors wanted to do surgery, obviously not going to spend money on a 60 year old injury when all we need is pain relief. Before he couldn't even raise it above his ear but after lots of massages and light weights he can reach all the way above his head without pain.
Great determination.
And i also had a dislocated shoulder which i had surgery on when i was only 18, i cant sleep on my sides anymore since i slept on the other shoulder too much, and i think its damaged that one as well. Im constantly stretching, massaging, moving, drinking lots of water, and all things like that.
anything cN be fixed, just because they said it can’t doesn’t mean that’s true, you can learn how the hip, feet, and pelvis all relate to the knee in order to fix it

Heckin thanks. I dont even have flat feet and was wonder why this wasnt working.
helpful?
Thank you
This coment is as helpful as video 😄
Thanks !!
Thanks
This is the video I didn't realise I needed, but is solving my greatest issues... underrated and best thing I've ever come across - THANK YOU!
I love that no matter what exercise I need to look up I find a video from you on how to fix it. You are seriously awesome and if yours is one of the top searches it’s the one I’m picking. 👌🏾💯
Seriously is Jeff reading my search history ? Couldn't find a more relevant video for me right now !! Thanks Jeff
Thank you so much for this informative video..i do these exercises (for about two weeks) and i already see progress..flat feet can't stop me from training.. thank you so much mr. Jeff
Jeff cannot thank you enough for your guidance. You are a leader in pain prevention and life fulfillment. Keep up the great work with your team and community.
I have kyphosis which throws my posture off everywhere. Been to many psychical therapist and none seem to help or recognize any of these problems, I have the knock knees and your videos are helping me more than anyone ever has.
This video is so informative! I’ve been having issues with my knees and feet and this has really helped me fine tune my problem areas! Thank you
this is perfect for knee day tomorrow
Marcos Wolf wait.. what?
Damn it, I just did knees. How does he always know?
I did legs today as well
Marcos Wolf I laughed harder at this than I should have
I preffer spine day
Very few sources have been as thorough in all the affected areas of the body that contribute to any one issue and in addressing all of those contributors as yours. These videos have brought me great relief in the knowledge that the problems I've been having with alignment and tight/weak groups are reversible. Thank you.
its so crazy. I've had flat feet and knocked kness for as long as I can remember. I just though it was on of those things you were born with and learned to love them both. This video was such a shocker. thank you Jeff!!
Thanks Jeff, this video was wicked. Felt instant pain release from my knees and ankles (had this pain for 3 years). If you could make more vids related to this that would be great!
These excersises were easy until, I started to do your low back pain excercises, now they’re extremely difficult. But that’s a good thing, I’m seeing great results!
Did you see any great results in your knock knee?
Not only Jeff is a great fitness coach, being a physical therapist is such a wonderful perk that we all are blessed with.
Thank you Jeff, from the heart.
This video is a god send, I've had years of knee pain, two rounds of knee surgery for a maltracking knee cap and I've been given orthotics to fix my overpronation but this is the first time I've actually understood what's going on with my legs. I've recently started running and my hips are suffering as a result so I'm hoping this will fix my issue!
Holy Toledo! This video just changed my life. My flat feet have plagued me by causing foot pain, but I had no clue they were causing my knock knees (which I’ve been trying not to hate for as long as I’ve noticed them)! You are about to make me look and walk so much less like a dork. Not to mention, this is probably why I have totally unexplained knee pain. Seriously - thank you SO much!
Shannon Shields heyy can u give me an update 'bout your condition? thankss
I would like an update too please.
@@xxnasser1 Same here
Any updates?
Sir can you take a picture please. Before and after. Thanks
Not a single video of yours is useless.. a salute to you bro, for what you are doing🙌
I’ve been dealing with this problem from a low ankle sprain for 30 years…my ankle pops and clicks CONSTANTLY…I did this once for 20 seconds and it stopped (temporarily I’m sure). I will keep doing this, and thank you a million times for this video I’ve been to numerous doctors
This is by far part of the best type of content Jeff has produced, concise, educational and pragmatic information without any "influencer" nonsense.
I think I just found a pure gem, thanks Jeff.
Thank you so much for this video! I have a lot of posture issues and learned a lot about them in your video's. One of my issues is having flat feet. I have supportive soles for my shoes but didn't know any exercises to help it get better. Again, thanks for the tips and exercises!
i learn so much as a massage therapist with all this video that some customer told me that i fixed problems that the other didnt do, so god bless all your entire life and who loves you jeff , i give the link of your videos to everyone,, cheers
Most concise video I've seen on this subject. Great exercise examples that do not require expensive equipment.
Jeff, I had some severe inner knee pain come from out of the blue a few days ago. Totally debilitating. I've purchased a couple of Athlean-X programs over the years, so I often watch your corrective videos too. Doing these stretches and correctives immediately started bringing relief to that inner knee pain. It got me thinking, if you ever considered putting together an entire program of correctives that is a SKU I would buy.
Thank you Jeff for being so informative. I have valgus knees and it sucks, nice to know I can help ease the pain with your stretches. Did the band for the rotator, felt good. You're awesome! Thank you!
Are you knees normal now?
🤣lol i have the same doubt
Is thih real bro?
Have to say jeff!!!have been watching you videos for some time, as a MPT my self, you are truly great clinician, and understanding beyond a lot of physical therapist nor sport therapist nor athlete trainer. keep up the good work. i have been spreading your name with my colleagues.. TNK
I have this problem, the chirnic version, just had my 6th knee surgery, 3rd ACL. I'll definitely incorporate these exercises into my rehab to ensure I get stronger and try to change this Valgus issue I have. Thanks for the vid, top notch as always.
absolutely superb! I am an advanced hockey ice skater. I was having severe right outside knee pain while skating only. My right knee would buckle inward due to the force of pushing off. Followed exercises as shown and they have been a great help! Thank you very much. Without a doubt, the best video for knee valgus out there.
How many sets and how many times a week did u use to do this? Has it really helped after 4 years?
Yet another INCREDIBLE video! Thank you so much for what you do for the fitness community!!!
Awesome Jeff! Thank you so much for posting this! This makes so much sense for things that my clients face. It's so key to have directions to work the specific muscles that control the motions, starting at the bottom, 'cause it all starts at the feet. Great video thank you man.
I just wanted to express some genuine gratitude for this video and the information presented; I know you benefit from monetization (probably) but this is some "good deed" product to humanity--be proud!!
I like how he got straight to the point, and explained it with science. Not a minute of my time was wasted watching this, and I feel like it'll really help me in the future. I'm 13, and I don't wanna have knee problems when I'm this young lol now I know what to do, thanks.
Thank you!! 💕 I’m a tad knocked kneed while in flat shoes and while working out. I never thought there was anything I could do to change it other than watch my form when I work out but here was this video. Thank you!!!
So is there any change now in you knees, is it better now
Did it work?
Plx reply
Excellent demonstration and explanation, Jeff. I, as a professional in the field appreciate your work.
This is the video that takes me to the next level! As always, you are appreciated Jeff!
Now i will add knee day also in my workout routine 😅
Only person i can trust when it comes to exercise, and especially diet. Thanks Jeff👊👌
My knee was firing after completing all these..... I feel it's fixed already. That's the level of confidence your video brings to me.
Did it have a visible result bro? Cause Im suffering with valgus knees too. I cant wear shorts.
Thank you so much for your valuable effort and helping people with this knee valgus
Holy shit.
I thought this was an amazing channel before....
I have dealt with flat feet/pronation problems for my entire life! I just discovered recently what the actual issue was. I had no clue before.
And you just explained everything in about 12 minutes.
Amazing. Thank you so much. This video means a lot to me. It has been extremely frustrating dealing with this issue, especially for running since I have amazing cardio yet running is physically painful on my knees/joints. Thanks!!!
yeah all my life was pain with such feet too...but these tips on his channel are the best i've heard so far...can't believe no one told me before. let's keep up the good work then
I'll try this but I don't know if it will fix anything. Might make it better I guess. I want to also go higher on squats but my knees hurt a few days later and I'm thinking it's my really flat feet.
He also has a really good video with Rayman showing how to strengthen the tendons in your foot to help alleviate pain and put you in a better position for all athletic work since you’re always on your feet. Probably just search flat feet on his channel. It was very helpful for me.
Flat feet squad gathering here. LOL. Jeff also have some old vids about flat feet, go watch and add those exercises and understanding into your arsenal. We may born with flat feet, yet we don't have to be cursed with it, we shall fight against the fate! 💪🏽
Yeah I'm glad I subscribed a long time ago too! I'd lobe to ham him as personal trainer. Question, I don't have flat feet but my ankles cave in if that makes sense? Same way to fix?
Thank You from my heart JC for making this video ❤ from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
I wish I had seen this a couple of years ago. I just got a meniscus repair and now I have bone on bone laterally because of this problem. Thank you. I am passing this on to my family.
Life long issue and active U.S. military. I only really noticed i really had this issue a few years ago. Glad I found this video. I hope I can work on this and actually see some change.
Hey mate, hope you're doing well. Is there any noticeable results from the last few months?
This is exactly what my physical therapist was trying to tell me yesterday, but you did a much better job of explaining it. My knees were caving in on squats and leg press and he was just basically like "your quads and hips are weak. do these exercises." He didn't say anything about the foot, but two of the exercises you mentioned are the same ones he has me doing.
show this to your physio also
My physical therapist said that it can't be fix only make it stronger
I knew you would finally do this topic.
Excellent, detailed and very clear. Doing a great job for years, very much appreciated, the go to place online for genuine gains, fixes and knowledge. Thanks.
Thank you, I have had this problem since I was a kid. After all this year I now know the suggestion. This is life-changing man. Much appreciated.
Did you knees got better?
Lucky walked out like "these guys are hogging the squat rack again"
LuL
Holy shit mate. Your videos since I subscribed are just a compilation of my problems and how to solve them. Don't know if I should say "congratulations on knowing your audience" or ,"stop following me" .
Did you fix your knock knees?
Hahahaha!
I've been running since last year, and had a tibialis posterior injury.... never recovered from that. I thought it was purely overtraining, but probably wasn't the only thing - but even though I had some consultations, I was never told what was going on. I notice my right knee was pointing inwards, told my PT, he said nothing about that. A couple of weeks ago, my right arch was hurting and felt like collapsing (both are naturally low but the other one is OK). I researched a lot and found this video really helpful and insightful to help correct my knee rotation and all the problems it causes, along with other video that help my feet muscles... thank you so much!!
Most of my clients needs this video! Thanks for sharing.
As a massage therapist and someone that suffers with exactly what you're saying in this video, these videos are amazing! So helpful for myself and also to recommend to clients :)

May god bless you with all success 🥳
I really enjoy your videos. Each one helps be better. Thank you for putting the smarts into each workout.
Thank you very much Jeff..tested these exercises...not only these give strength to feet and knees, it gives the whole body a strong support as knees and feet are in corrected position the whole body is stabilized...feels like a Super Saiyan..These are better than normal flat feet exercises, as the problem is with external rotator muscles...Once again Thank you very much Jeff...
Hey,do you still have x knees?
Jeff you have just gave an answer to all of my bone and joint problems. I never realized they were all related. My flat feet caused knock knees, which contributed to my hip rotating inwards, which then forced out my tailbone and caused anterior pelvic tilt, which led to my messed up back and neck. Thank you so much hopefully I can fix these issues! These have plagued me my whole life and I thought I was just born fucked up and I would just have to accept it. I'm gonna a start working on this asap!!
this video is honestly life changing! Thank you so much for the tips in this video
Best video I have ever seen on knock knees....I have flat feet as a result knock knee....Thanks jeff

Adorei o seu conteúdo! A dinâmica da explicação me ajudou a compreender. Infelizmente em português existem poucos vídeos explicativos sobre este assunto. Eu realmente adorei a explicação, uma pena não ter legendas para não perder os detalhes, afinal não sou fluente em inglês 🙁.
Vocês estão de parabéns 👏👏👏
Continuem com vídeos assim, de explicações minuciosas! 💜
Thanks so much Jeff. Due to an older injury to my right shoulder and a brace on too long most of my right side is weak. I could barely do this last exercise you mention on my right side. Also I now know why there is pain on my right hip. It’s weakness from atrophy.
MOST HELPFUL RUclips VIDEO IVE FOUND IN SO LONG!!! THANK YOU!!!
A puppy’s presence is definitely necessary for the gainzzzz

Thanks Jeff. I've never fully understood my knee issue until now.
Excellent. I have flat feet and every other bit of information says the same thing about fixing them, this is different, I will give these a go Jeff! Thanks.
Jeff’s vids always help me
I just thought people lived with knee valgus all their life. Thank you for helping me look towards a better tomorrow. As always, keep up the great stuff!
you did the exercises and you found out that people lived with knee valgus all their life unless having a surgery am i right?

are they cured or not?

Any update?
I often recommended your videos to my clients
I really found it very beneficial and I have problems that started only 6 years ago after a badly healed wound, knowing that I had spent all my life practicing the martial and that my legs were the part the stronger of my body, but after the injury, I lost all this strength and I lost balance and my posture became in a bad state and this caused me an arched leg and I am very confused because I do not know how to fix it and every time I try to work my legs harder it gets worse and worse every time, so please give us more videos about this because it is very useful, it helps people's lives , thank you sir

This is exactly what i was looking for. I’ve just realised yesterday that my legs are alright it’s just my knees are not in the right position. I’ve checked it in my mirror and realised that when i move my hips outwards with the help of my foot while standing , it looks perfect so I searched it and here’s my guy Athlean X. Thanks
This video is so usefull for me thanks
This video is a godsend. I’ve had flat feet my entire life and Its been affecting my squat form. I’m gonna start doing these exercises right away.

Sauce k Ive had significant improvement actually. A clear difference right away and it only gets better from there.
@@kickitsmooth did you use bands for your posterior? i dont have one, what else can i use?

Jarhead1775 thank you for sharing. more people need to know this is fixable and not just accept pain.
Nathan Mosher .I had a mindset of pain is weakness leaving the body for years and realize that is not true. It may have took a long time but there is difference between soreness and pain.
Any update
Massive thank you to ATHLEAN-X.
Had ACL surgery 2 years ago and have since returned to football. I noticed this earlier this year my knee started swelling regularly after a game and the next day I would really lose a lot of my range of motion on the leg. I was blaming my knee for all of this but since I came across this channel and started doing these exercises addressing the hips & feet, along with other various exercises, I've found things have really improved. For example I played football yesterday and still have full range of motion today and no knee swelling!
I also got insoles for my football boots to help with any flat feet issues and as soon as I came home I was regularly icing my knee. Delighted with the progress so far!
This is a great video, many variations of these exercises to correct excess pronation, knock knees, duck feet walk etc.
I only became flat footed after a foot injury and sciatic nerve that got injured around the same time. After than I was limping around and it healed a bit then got worse. After a year of struggling I've gone from high arched to flat footed. After seeing a podiatrist he pointed out that I have over pronation in that same side my injuries were worse on. I kept checking it out in a mirror to realize my right knee was also becoming knocked with my left just starting to follow.
I'm saving this video to add into my daily life. I'm really hoping it can reverse the damage that has been done over the last year or so.
This has PLAGUED me my whole life. I have always told people I just “have bad knees” and I “can’t do squats.” Being female, no one really pushed me out of this until recently. THANK you. I’m gonna go to the gym momentarily and start correcting this. (I have the first, transient variation. It’s harder to spot and no one really believed me when I said my knees did weird things and hurt when I did squats.)
Hey how you doing? Please can you give me some updates did you get any results? How long did it take?
This is an amazing explanation. As a trainer it is frustrating to only hear cues around the gym such as "drive out at the knee" when there are dozens of other factors as explained in this video. Often the cause of an issue is complex and needs to be approached at all angles. And this video is very helpful to solve this particular issue! Passing along to a client now who has struggled with this so we can implement together.
Glad to have you on youTube
