I was thinking exactly the same 😳

@@KaRmA-_- What is the issue with this exercise for tib rotation? I am genuinely curious.

The uploader probably wanted to write "Easy way to fix Tibial External Rotation..." but wrote "Internal" by mistake.

The uploader messed up the title, this exercise is for fixing tibial external rotation.

@@RudolphOck I've been noticing this on many videos I see. 🤔

Thanks for thinking of me. I hope it sparks some enthusiasm and creativity.

it's not necessary, it just helps with rotating as the point is to keep your foot flat on the ground rather than rotating on the heel. you could theoretically do it on a slick floor with a towel underneath

A rotating disc or a paper plate is helpful to stand on when performing movements aimed at controlling tibial internal rotation and foot pronation because it allows for smoother and more controlled rotation of the lower leg. Here are the detailed reasons: 1. **Smooth Rotation**: The rotating disc facilitates a smooth, controlled rotational movement of the lower leg, which is essential for safely and effectively engaging the muscles and joints involved in tibial internal rotation and foot pronation. 2. **Joint Alignment**: It helps maintain proper alignment of the joints, particularly the ankle and knee, reducing the risk of strain or injury. This alignment is crucial when training the muscles responsible for these movements. 3. **Controlled Movement**: By providing a stable yet movable platform, the disc allows for precise control over the amount and direction of rotation, which is important for targeting specific muscle groups and movement patterns. 4. **Resistance Band Effectiveness**: When using a resistance band attached to the big toe to improve supination, the rotating disc ensures that the foot can move freely and naturally. This freedom of movement enhances the effectiveness of the resistance band in promoting the desired supination while maintaining a neutral foot position. 5. **Proprioception and Balance**: Standing on a rotating disc also challenges proprioception and balance, which are essential components of functional movement and stability. This challenge helps improve overall lower limb coordination and control. In summary, the rotating disc allows for controlled, safe, and effective movement patterns necessary for improving foot and ankle mechanics, particularly in the context of tibial internal rotation and foot pronation/supination exercises.

Can you provide a video showing what it is you are concerned about. An image provides better insight.

@@LanceLabno If you turn your right foot towards your right side, that's tibial external rotation of your right foot. If you turn your left foot towards your left side, that's tibial external rotation of your left foot. You add resistence that pulls towards the opposite direction: - for tibial external rotation of your right foot something must pull from your left side. - for tibial external rotation of your left foot something must pull from your right side.

​@@RudolphOck The exercise is used to control motion from the tibia and the lower ankle joint. The movement is to prevent foot pronation and eversion at the ankle joint. If they move at the same rate, there is no change happening at the joint thus controlling tibial internal rotation at the foot and ankle joint. I hope this helps

Yes, there are a number of alternative exercises. It depends on what your goals are. If interested in learning more, please contact me to schedule an appointment.

Could you please expound on your comment. I would like to understand more where you are coming from. Thanks. I am unsure what you mean that when your hips are back, you are not using them.

@@LanceLabno you know how girls walk and take pictures- lower back arched and butt pushed back and up..that is pushing the hips back/letting them rise. If your using your glutes to the fullest, it should pull your waist down which will naturally erect your torso and pull your shoulder blades back and down. That's proper alignment, most people arch their lower back thinking their posture is great..Strengthing glutes will fix your posture. Check out kick boxers especially from Thailand display excellent hip/glute dominant movement because they understand the importance of it. You can see it just in their gait.

@@calebhuang1958 I appreciate your comments and suggestions. What do you mean by "If your using your glutes to the fullest, it should pull your waist down which will naturally erect your torso and pull your shoulder blades back and down. "? I do not see why a posterior pelvic tilt will bring the shoulder blades down and back? I would hope to see independent motion and proper dissociation between body segments.

It definitely helps people with controlling their foot. There can be a number of other issues up the kinetic chain that can make walking and running painful. It is helpful to see a physical therapist that takes a full body approach to managing uncontrolled movement. I suggest seeing a therapist who has trained with Marc Comerford.

So is your tibia messed up or is it just your foot?

Linda, that is unfortunate about your injury from last spring. If possible, I suggest seeing a physical therapist that is near you. There can be a number of ways and strategies to improve your shoulder mobility and control .

Charles wife: You have a really good question with some pretty significant areas of concern for both your connective tissue, muscle and joint disorders. There are many questions I have in response for you to be able to provide a concise and clear answer. For instance, knowing where both shoulder labral tears are located(anterior/posterior), which rotator cuff muscles are affected. I highly suggest looking up "kinetic control" or Marc Comerford and find a physical therapist who is a kinetic control therapist near you that can help design a specific solution. If you have any questions for me please go to my website at www.movement-solutions.com and contact me.. I wish you the best!

Don't do what this guy is showing! Get in the shower and have someone help you.
