Can knock knees be corrected naturally at age 28 or is surgery the only option? I'm worried about long-term effects if left untreated and wondering if exercises or braces might help

Sometimes, if knock knees cause problems such as pain or difficulty walking, you may be referred to a specialist for tests to see what might be causing it. Rarely, surgery to straighten the knees and legs may be recommended.

Living in a 20-story apartment building, I use the stairs twice a day as exercise that's 40 floors or around 500 steps. It's convenient for me as a working mom, but people keep warning me it could lead to knee replacement issues later. Is climbing stairs really that bad for my knees? Could it cause long-term damage?

Yes composite holistic excercise better than isolated load
