Athletes who display knee valgus should work to develop ankle dorsiflexion ROM during squats using soft-tissue work, gastrocnemius stretching and ankle mobility drills.

Great article on the cause of Knee Valgus:

Once thought to be gluteal weakness, this research study suggest that decreased ankle rom is the culprit.

When performing squats, assessing form for knee valgus and correcting with a 2" heel lift will make a significant difference.

Pretty cool!
