Our user asked: "Hello. I'm 36 and I've always had genu valgum (knock knees). With this condition, every time I walk a bit faster for a longer period of time, the outside of my lower leg burns terribly. What can I do to prevent the terrible pain while walking? Are there any orthopedic insoles I can buy?"
 
Ask a PT Response: "Custom orthotics can help with this condition. If you haven't seen a PT, it might be a good idea to see one as you might have other issues going on as well. ie. weakness, decrease flexibility, joint mobility issues, muscle imbalance, mechanics, etc."
