Does physiotherapy help conditions such as knock knees?
Yes, physiotherapy can assist some people with correcting knock knees. The cause of the knock knees will influence whether the physiotherapist can assist or not. A physiotherapist can assist by providing exercises and may identify the need for corrective footwear or orthotics. If orthotics are required, the physiotherapist will refer the client to an orthotist or podiatrist. Some physiotherapists are trained in specific assessment and fitting of orthotics and will provide this service themselves.
