I'm 18 and have bow legs that seem to be getting worse. I don't want surgery but cycling is getting harder even though I've been doing it for weeks. Are there any physical exercises that can actually help fix bow legs or at least stop them from getting worse? I don't have pain yet but I'm worried it might start soon. What would you recommend?

While exercises cannot permanently fix bow legs (Genu Varum), they can help manage symptoms and potentially slow their progression. For an 18-year-old with bow legs, a combination of strengthening, stretching, and mobility exercises can be beneficial
