The correction method for O-leg is not only thin but also straight

It is true that nine out of every girl have irregular legs. Many girls have the bad habit of crossing their legs for a long time, and they don't pay much attention to their walking posture. In the long run, their legs will not only easily become thicker but also easily bend! You know, the key to beautiful legs is not just about being thin, but the right leg shape is perfect. So, don't bother with stovepipe, correcting the leg shape first is the key. The most common type of leg shape is O-shaped legs.

There are two common types of O-legs:

1. It is O from calf to thigh, and the thighs and calves are not close together.

2. The thighs and knees are moved closer to the middle and then the calves are O, which means that the thighs can be brought together, but the calves are not. This is called XO legs.

O-legs really destroy the image!

Patients with O-leg have a huge gap between the two legs, which is very visually unsightly. Their gait is different from that of normal people. Their walking posture is strange. Their thighs cannot swing back and forth normally. They are in an inner eight or outer eight walking posture. The upper body unconsciously swings left and right, like a penguin. The lower limbs are very ugly, especially when wearing tight or slimming clothes. At the same time, patients with o-leg have lost their straight legs, and their entire body has become less straight.

There are three types of reasons for the formation of O-legs:

1. Developmental factors

During physical development, due to malnutrition or intestinal diseases, deficiency of nutrients such as calcium and phosphorus, bone development disorders, bone deformation or joint cartilage dysplasia, resulting in changes in varus of the knee;

2. O-shaped legs caused by trauma or other diseases

In some cases, such as injury caused by lateral collateral ligament damage, which destroys the stability of the knee joint and can also lead to O-shaped legs. This is more common in athletes and generally requires surgical repair of the damaged ligament during treatment.

3. Imbalanced factors

Because long-term poor posture or incorrect exertion habits cause imbalance in the muscle mechanics that govern the joints, long-term imbalance in muscle mechanics can lead to joint displacement and the formation of varus.

Daily small details correct o-leg

1. First, relax your whole body, drop your hands naturally, and clamp a towel between your legs.

2. Then straighten your back, hold the chair with both hands, tighten the towel, and slowly squat down.

3. Squat to the most sour position in your legs, stay for 5 seconds, and stand up while breathing in. Do 20 times a day.

Folk bone-setting correction of O-leg

1. Sit on the floor or bed with your back straight, your legs together, and your knees touching.

2. Use a highly elastic rope such as a rubber band or tire skin to tightly wrap and hold your calves in place. After winding it, lie down or sit still, and after 15-20 minutes, you can remove it.

Of course, when going up and down stairs, you are also very knowledgeable! Climb with your body in your body, climb with your head lowered, climb on your feet, climb 2-3 squares at a time... this is not enough! This puts a great burden on the feet and spine, especially the weight-bearing knees and ankles.

Correct posture:

X-leg: Climb stairs with the strength of your toes or heels

O-leg: Keep the waist straight and focus on the entire sole of the foot

Of course, there are also methods to correct O-legs.

Correction methods for O-leg include: manual correction, surgery, instrumentation, splint, leggings, exercise, corrective insoles, etc.

The operation is suitable for patients with very severe O-shaped legs, or patients with osteoarthritis and joint pain. The shortcoming is that the surgical techniques are different, and most of them require osteotomy, which is painful and risky, and is costly.

Non-surgical correction

Non-surgical correction methods have the advantages of low cost and low risk, but the shortcoming is active treatment, which has slow results and requires long-term persistence. Without perseverance, the goal of correction cannot be achieved.

1. Correction of splint and leggings

This method is simple and easy, and the ligament at the knee joint is adjusted through the pressure generated by the splint and binding. The advantage is that it does not require surgery and is easy to operate. The disadvantage is that it requires persistence. In addition, splints and binding can easily cause damage to blood vessels and nerves in the knee joint, and in severe cases, nerve necrosis can occur.

2. Orthotic insole

The corrective insole is high on the outside and low on the inside. When walking and standing, it can give the calf a force to rotate outward, and can prevent the aggravation and formation of O-shaped legs caused by poor walking posture. Convenient to use, but effective for patients with slight O-leg, not suitable for patients with higher O-leg.

3. instrumental correction

The instrument also adjusts the medial and lateral ligaments of the knee joint. The disadvantage is that active treatment is needed, and the length of the correction period needs to be determined based on the patient's physique and perseverance, which is much higher than the cost of splint and bundling. The advantage is that it can avoid damage to blood vessels and nerves in the knee joint.

4. Exercise, of course

The specific methods for correcting the "O" leg through exercise are as follows:

Squatting, hands akimbo, keep the upper body upright, legs open 15- 20 cm, toes slightly outward, when inhaling, your knees close together and slowly squat, squat as deep as possible and stay for a while, and feel the muscles in your legs tight. Slowly open your knees while exhaling, stand straight, and repeat 10 times. When squatting, your knees and thighs are brought together, which is very effective for correcting O-legs. Squatting down your waist as much as possible will be better.

Bend over and hold your knees with both hands to do left and right circular movements, do 20 to 30 times.

Kneel on your legs, collapse your waist, slowly move your feet outward and forward, and your waist gradually straighten out. Do it 15 to 20 times.

Stand with your feet parallel. First, use the heel as the axis to do toe abduction and pronation; then use the toe as the axis to do heel abduction and pronation, 20 to 30 times each. Open your feet slightly wider, bend down, and hold your knees with both hands to do a stopping exercise with your knees facing each other. Spend 10 seconds each time and do it 5 to 10 times.

Sit in a chair, try to hold the book with your calves, and hold on for a certain period of time. If you use a rubber band to tie your knees, the effect is even more significant.

Stand upright with your feet together, and hold your knees with both hands to do a squat and stand up exercise with your knees straight in front of you, doing 20 to 30 times.

The prevention and aggravation of O-shaped legs are very important. Don't expect to solve it all at once. Except for O-shaped legs caused by congenital and organic diseases, most other O-shaped legs are caused by the acquired bad habits of kneeling, cross-legged, exercise, walking posture, etc. Pay attention to these in daily life to avoid forming O-legs.
