First, bow legs are diagnosed through a physical exam. A blood exam may also be performed to check for vitamin deficiencies. If the cause of the bow-legs is malnutrition, supplements will be prescribed.
However, if the bow legs are caused by a trauma, skeletal deformity, or bone disease, they may warrant immediate medical treatment. Severe bowing before the age of 3 may be partially corrected with a brace or orthopedics to assist in straightening the bone, and to allow the child to grow before performing surgery.
Bow leg exercises also help in preventing any further aggravation of your condition. Bow legs can get worse if the patient gains weight or loses muscle mass. Just like yoga, stretching, massage therapy, Pilates also helps you strengthen your core muscles, improve the alignment of your body, and maintain correct posture- all factors that can indirectly contribute towards improving bow legs.
