These Trigger Points Create Knock Knees | Better Than Exercising

Having knocked knees can not only create pain in other areas of the body like the lower back or ankles but it can also create injuries like IT Band Syndrome and ACL Injuries.

Now if you have tried to improve your knocked knees already then chances are you have already tried different exercises like training the glutes and even stretches for the legs.

But what if I told you the main reason for not seeing results has nothing to do with muscle tightness or weakness, and everything to do with trigger points?

Check out our new video to not only learn why this happens but also to find out where these trigger points are and how to perform trigger point releases.
