Avoid Squatting-

Hello there.....well knock knees or genu valgum deformities of knee can be a problem cosmetically as well as pathologically....65% cases of knock knees will have pain,stiffness and degeneration of knee joint by the time they are above 55 years....however knock knees can be corrected through hinge bracing as well as through surgery... please remember that knock knees are anatomical joint bone deformitiy and exercises will help mostly in strengthning the muscles around your knees and giving you good stability....however the joint mal-alignment as such can be corrected only through surgery (if you want quick results) or hinged bracing (prolong time period)....what ever you choose...you would need to undergo rehabilitation/physiotherapy with or without surgical intervention.
Regards & take care.

Knock knee in a fully grown adult cannot be rectified by physiotherapy or bracing. (In fact, bracing has been shown to be ineffective even in children.) Physiotherapy cannot correct the deformity, but may be used to strengthen the muscles around the knee.
The deformity has to be studied by full length standing xrays of your limbs. Usually a corrective osteotomy(surgery) will be required if the deformity is severe.
