One highly effective addition to physiotherapy for knee valgus is the use of custom-made insoles.
These are designed to elevate the medial arch of the foot, which helps to:

• Reduce compressive stress on the outer (lateral) compartment of the knee joint
• Improve weight distribution during walking and standing
• Enhance foot rigidity, providing better support and stability

By correcting foot alignment, custom insoles can improve the overall lower limb biomechanics, making walking less painful and more efficient.
When combined with targeted muscle strengthening and gait training, they can be a key tool in slowing down joint degeneration and improving mobility.

If you would like to know more about how custom insoles can help with knee valgus and walking difficulties, please contact our English-speaking physiotherapist （Ota）at Physio Center.
