Would slight bowing cause problems when I'm older ? And how do I get it check do a physical therapist or doctor ?
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17393449/This paper concludes that bowleg, or varus alignment, is associated with the development of knee osteoarthritis.
However, not everyone with bowlegs will develop osteoarthritis.
Whether your 'light bowing' falls within the medically normal range or is pathological can't be determined without an X-ray image.
Therefore, I recommend that you consult with an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in knee care.
They will likely conduct a standing full lower extremity x-ray to assess your condition.
