Assess
We assess your child standing, walking and running, and measure the angle at the knees against what is expected for their age.
Knees that angle inwards and touch while the ankles stay apart. Known medically as genu valgum.

If this sounds like your pain, there is a structural reason for it. The assessment is what finds it.
As with bow legs, some of this is expected at certain ages and corrects with growth. Where it persists, the knee is usually reflecting what is happening above and below it: an angle at the hip that drops the thigh bone inwards, a foot that rolls in and lets the arch fall, and tight muscles at the front of the hip that tilt the pelvis forward. A leg length difference can produce it on the longer side only.
Knock Knees is diagnosed with the Najjarine Biomechanical Assessment, so treatment is prescribed against a finding rather than a symptom.
We assess your child standing, walking and running, and measure the angle at the knees against what is expected for their age.
We look at the hip, the pelvis and the foot together, and explain which of them the knee is responding to.
Where nothing needs doing we say so and set a review. Where it does, the plan is aimed at the level the problem is coming from.
All ten treatments, starting with those most often used for knock knees. Which you need is decided at the assessment; most plans combine more than one.
A full lower limb assessment from the feet up. It is the foundation of every treatment plan we prescribe.

Showed us how her arches and her knees were connected.
Did not rush into orthotics. Measured first.
Explained what to watch for as he grows.
Often, yes. A degree of it is normal at certain ages. The assessment tells you whether your child is within the expected range, and whether the feet are adding to it.
They travel together. A foot that rolls in and loses its arch lets the knee drop inwards, which is why flat feet and knock knees are often assessed at the same time.
Where it persists, load concentrates on the inner side of the knee and at the front of the kneecap. In adults that is linked with knee pain.
Usually orthotics to support the foot and change how the knee loads, with hands-on work and stretches for the muscles at the front of the hip.
