I dont have pathological knock knees, but i do have knock knees may and hopefully due to muscle imbalance. I am a semi professional football player 27 years old, i am trying to straighten my knee but i am not able to see any improvements. I am a doctor as well, i am wondering if i can straighten my knees without surgery.
