Can bow legs be fixed naturally at my age of 24 without going through surgery I've had them since I was young and wondering if exercises or other non-surgical options might help

At 24, naturally correcting bowlegs (genu varum) without surgery is unlikely, as bone structure is typically fully formed by this age. Exercise and stretching can improve muscle strength and flexibility, but they won't change the bone shape. Surgical correction, like an osteotomy, is usually necessary to reshape the bones
