If knock knees is due to anatomical structures then it cannot be fixed with Physiotherapy. But if it is due to postural problems or muscle weakness it could be fixed.
Next Steps
To rule out the cause for knock knees you need to consult a Physiotherapist either in person or through video call and for further evaluation and treatment.

There are two types of deformities, permanent and functional.. permanent is one where the bone/joint alignments are affected. On the other hand functional is something that's controlled by the muscle imbalances and shows up only while performing particular movements.
Functional can be corrected by physiotherapy, while permanent would need a surgical treatment followed by physiotherapy.
