Knock-Kneed: Great that you are taking such good care of yourself with an active lifestyle! There is no nonsurgical treatment for mild genu valgus. No treatment is necessary! Please do mention this at your next physical exam. I am happy to explore your concerns and examine photos in a Prime or Concierge Visit!
