Deformation of women's body will affect their beauty and health

Nowadays, many people have bow legs to a certain extent, which seriously affects their appearance and also causes certain harm to their bodies. The best way is prevention, which can be done by:

First walking posture. Never walk with your feet turned outward. When walking with your feet turned outward, your legs exert force to the side, giving the knee joint an outward push. In this way, with every step you take, the lateral collateral ligament of the knee joint will be pulled and impacted. If this continues for a long time, the lateral collateral ligament of the knee joint will become loose, the lateral stable structure of the knee joint will become unstable, and the knee joint will rotate inward, forming O-shaped legs.

Second, it’s the sitting posture. You cannot sit with your legs crossed, cross-legged, or kneeling.

Third, sleeping position. When sleeping, never cross your legs.

Fourth, standing posture. Cannot stand in the ease position with the center of gravity on one leg. When standing in an at-ease position, the knee joint of the leg that is exerting force will also be subjected to outward force, and the internal rotation angle will increase. Over time, O-shaped legs will form, or the O-shaped legs will become more serious.

Fifth, diet. After adulthood, the bones have been shaped and bow legs may worsen or form, mainly due to the soft tissues of the joints and ligaments. Therefore, there is no need for special calcium supplementation. However, in order to prevent children from developing bow legs, it is necessary to ensure adequate calcium intake.

There are many reasons for the formation of O-shaped legs. For example, calcium deficiency in childhood can cause rickets, which can cause deformities of the lower limbs. Usually, it can be corrected after treatment, but if the treatment is not thorough, it will form O-shaped legs in middle-aged and elderly people. There are many reasons for the formation of O-shaped legs in middle-aged and elderly people. Generally, women are more prone to this disease, which is related to the decrease of estrogen in the body. Patients with osteoporosis are also prone to O-shaped legs. People with knee injuries or meniscus surgery are also prone to O-shaped legs. Some lifestyle habits are also prone to lead to O-shaped legs, such as herdsmen on the grassland, who easily form O-shaped legs when living on horseback.

No matter what causes bow legs, in addition to medication and surgical treatment, as long as the deformity is not particularly severe, there is hope of recovery through corrective exercises. There are many exercise methods, but the general curvature deformity, including O-shaped legs, X-shaped legs, scoliosis, hunchback, etc., the rehabilitation and correction principles are mainly: stretching the concave side tendons, ligaments and other soft tissues, and strengthening the convex side muscle strength. If the bones themselves have obvious bending, compression and other deformations, it will take a long time to recover structurally. Here are some exercises to correct bow legs.

1. Before going to bed at night, tie your straight legs together at the knees with a wide band, and try to keep your legs in the straight position for as long as possible. But it will be ineffective if you tie it too tight or bend your legs.

2. When standing or walking, add a wedge-shaped pad to the sole of the foot or the outer part of the sole so that the inside of the leg can feel the traction, and gradually increase the thickness of the wedge-shaped pad.

3. Abduct and press the leg muscles sideways, or kneel on the bed or mat, and stretch your calves outward for a little longer.

4. In the shuttlecock kicking game, the shuttlecock is mainly kicked outwards using the outside of the foot, that is, the leg.

The above method can be arranged reasonably and persisted. After each practice, you can self-massage the inner and outer sides of the legs where the burden is heavier. If you feel any discomfort, you should adjust it in time or go to the hospital for examination.
