How To Correct Duck Feet (Feet Turn Out) | Step By Step Program
In today's video, we're going to diagnose the root cause of your duck feet and give you the proper program you need based on which muscles are causing the movement impairment.
There are several causes of duck feet but in this video we go over the two most common causes I see with new clients. That is excessive hip external rotation and a lack of ankle dorsiflexion.
Let's diagnose which one of these may be causing your feet to turn outward and I'll give you the stretches and strengthening exercises to fix it for good.
I hope this helps and if you have questions please let me know in the comments.
Thanks for watching!

I was bullied throughout high school for having duck feet and I never knew this could be treated and corrected till now. This is literally my biggest insecurity and I would do anything to get rid of it. I am gonna try this for a month and see if I get the results.

Thank you for this, I've had this problem for 38 years and didn't even know it was a problem until a few years ago. I've always been self conscious about how I walk and wondered why I was always walking and running funny. I can't tell you how many times I've twisted an ankle running! Not only that, but I've been running into things or tipping over. It wasn't until this week that I started having pain in my left knee, hip, and calf muscle. Thank you for this video, I'm going to try fix these problems as soon as I get home!

Hey thanks for the comment! If the issue is structural it would need to be evaluated by your physician. They may want tests done to verify but they would be able to let you know.
Appreciate this video! What do you think is the main goal for people who had their upper legs/hips externally rotated? Should we focus on strengthening, stretching or mobilizing the hip external rotator?

I sugest you try it because you never know if it'll work. If they don't get better in around 2 3 weeks i suggest therapy or something like that.
ive had this after a car accident but i only have the issue on my right foot ( since i had to get multiple surgeries on it ) ill try what you said , thanks a lot, also if you have any tips please share
Would a trigger point massage ball be good or do I need something more sturdy?
Hi there. I have fixed them. Man it is a painful and long process. My DF were accompanied with other issues, but once you are young, you can solve it hands down. But supination and pronation may arise. I have used different stretching techniques and depending on how long you have stayed with DF, all the muscles in your body will accordingly react to the correction of them (parallelism, extension and opposition notions come into play to say the least)). I would not recommend fixing DF for those with spine protrusion or any other form of spinal disc herniation without medical ou physiotherapeutical orientation - man, that is serious, it is very painful and many unpleasant memories are brought back. Do it when young and complications can be managed easily, since the tendons and muscles are not as tight as compared to older people's, and as we are leaner and less prone to changes. All the best.

Hi, when I sit down with my knee bent 90 degrees, both my knees are facing forward but only my left foot is facing outwards. Do I use the 1st or 2nd method to fix my duck foot?
For most of my childhood I've been bullied about my walking everyone calling me penguin thanks for advice I'll update in a few months
Would it be beneficial to also strengthen the external rotators since maybe theyre weak which is why they are tighth?
I'm not sure if you did already but you should make a follow along video
Bro great stuff I definitely have duck feet how many times a week do u recommend the exercises and for how long
useful content
Thanks a lot man
This exercise is for tight adductor?
Thanks for this video I realized that my legs are normal and I was worried for nothing lol
What is the pounds of the resistance band that you are using?
Can I use an electric massager with a ball attachment on those glute muscles instead of is it more about the stretch then putting pressure on them?
How do you know if it's a muscle imbalance or femoral retroversion?
Hey. I wanted to ask if there are any structural defects that may cause duck feet. Because my right leg is the one that has the problem. The knees face straight but the rest of the leg below the knee is rotated outwards. I wanted to know if there are any permanent conditions that may cause it or if it may be fixed by physical therapy alone
My problem was weak hips thanks.
Thank you so much for this!!!
Thanks so much!

Could this be why my piriformis is tight and I got psoas muscles on the leg thst is out more?
If my duck feet are caused by the second reason, would doing calf raises worsen the issue?
What about tibial external rotation?
What about foot inversion/eversion? Could that cause duck foot in one or both?
How many days should this be performed... one time or certain period
Is it possible to have both causes? I think I have both!
please if anyone can give some advice regarding this i myself stand like this often but i don't walk...should i be worried

why is it that your calves being tight rotates the foot outward? thats definitely my issue as my feet have no interest in coming past 90degrees with my shin and when sitting or laying with no weight on them they naturally want to be point straight down inline with the tibula.. i specifically remember starting the gym in highschool and after doing leg day my calves would be locked in an extremely contracted position the next morning until they had been forced to stretch out, id typically be tip toeing for half an hour in the morning in a bit of pain as they slowly got lengthened/stretched out after i would guess healing/rebuilding during the night in the contracted position theyd be in while sleeping.. i suppose this is the cause for why they were so tight, working them but never the muscle on the front of the shin that opposes them and not stretching them out in the days following a workout as once they were long enough to allow me to walk with my heel on the ground they were never stretched any farther
I’m just now noticing my duck feet but I think it was just nothing because now I feel normal again
So if my foot points out but my knee is straight, and when I straighten my foot back inward my knee rotates in is that the second one you said not to do with the hips?

Hey Angela, it sounds like you may have external tibial torsion based on your description. I would recommend talking to your doctor. Unfortunately, I don't think any of these will help as they are for duck feet that's caused by muscle imbalances.
