Use this short, simple somatic movement sequence to quickly correct pigeon toes OR duck feet without stretching. By improving awareness and control of the muscles that turn the leg and foot in and out we can find a straighter more neutral position for the leg quickly and easily.

i am happy you’re still uploading, i am learning ( sometimes) to add what i need.
and thank you for giving us the option to get up and walk around in this one.
it might sound stupid, but, my brain and body need to know,
because sometimes , like now in my rib cage or trunk , i am too tense.
Thank you, your lessons always get my ideas going!
You’re welcome Dar!

Thank You for this video . Do You have anything for knock-knees?
You're welcome, glad it helped! First I'd recommend following the Daily Routine it covers all the most fundamental movements everyone should practice. Here it is: czcams.com/video/pxqlAAVlRKU/video.html
And then for Knock Knees the following movements will help.

Let me know how that goes
Thanks a lot Colm ! How frequently can I do this movement , my right foot is pigeon toed , the tightness coming from the hip/ back
Hi Naveen. You can do it as often as you like. Pair it with the Side Bend, and the Groin Pain videos.
Side Bend: czcams.com/video/8mqZd_Ptt0s/video.html
Groin Pain: czcams.com/video/OYPJH27Ggvk/video.html
@@LearnSomatics thanks !
@@LearnSomatics Colm , when the leg is turned inwards ( pigeon toed ) what side ( muscles ) are we releasing , inner or outward ?
@@naveenahmad1331 the internal rotators of the hip and the groin/adductors somewhat too.
Which exercise would you recommend for someone with arthrosis in the knee?
When knee cartilage has already vanished substantially and pain is present (not constantly).
Thank you!
I'd start with following videos...
Hip Lift & Reach: czcams.com/video/H7MFYdTGQVs/video.html
Invert Evert: czcams.com/video/0mij5onUM8I/video.html
Better Walking: czcams.com/video/j3LmYjKlhWE/video.html
See how yo go with those. Go slow, take your time and don't force any of the movements.
@@LearnSomatics Thank you for your exercise- recommedations! I've strarted with Invert Evert and it's already helping a bit.
Does being double jointed have anything to do with walking pigeon toed.
hey, is the more often you do this exercise the straighter your legs will get?
Yes it will help to make your legs more straight. Be sure to follow the Daily Routine too tho. It covers all the most important movements.

I need to fix my pigeon toe it so bad !!!!! I feel so insecure how I walk now lol ( didn’t think it was bad ) today I saw someone minic how I was walking
Did you try this video? Let me know if it helped. Thanks for watching.

Also, I was born breach and wore foot braces at night-time from like 2 to 5 yrs old. Here I am at 57 and still walking pigeon toed.
How often should these exercises be done and when do you think I might see a difference?
Thanks Beverly
Hi Beverly. I’m not really sure about the double jointedness and its effects on pigeon toes. That said follow along to the video and see how it goes. Usually pigeon toes is caused by internal rotation at the hips. If that is the case for you this sequence will help. You should feel some change immediately. Practicing this a few times a week alongside the daily routine should help.
The Daily Routine covers all the most fundamental movements. Here it is:

Let me know how it goes.
Thanks for watching.
When laying down, my legs are so much in the duck feet position that there’s barely any more movement I can do in that direction other than exaggerating a tad what’s already there. Do you recommend to just keep doing this class regularly or is there another class before this one that would be best?
I'd probably suggest something like this instead Sol: czcams.com/video/Uoh921qqL3c/video.html
Thanks for watching!
i am a gymnast. when i tumble, and jump up to flip forwards, my feet go inwards. can this video help with that?
It should help yes. Follow the video then try your tumble and flip. Let me know how it goes.
I’d also recommend following the Daily Routine video.
Here it is: czcams.com/video/pxqlAAVlRKU/video.html
It’s good for recovery between your training sessions.
Thanks for watching🙏
Whats the why?
Hi Sean. Improve comfort of hips, legs, knees, feet etc. and bring legs/feet into more forward facing position. Give it a try and let me know how it goes. Thanks for watching.
Does Somatics help bunions?
Great question. Bunions are a structural issue, so any effect from Somatics will be secondary. I'd recommend practicing some of the movements that include the feet and also walking barefoot whenever possible. Here are two movements that include the feet. Try then out and see if they help:
czcams.com/video/uOhCUGkwtdg/video.html
czcams.com/video/swwN7nQs6m8/video.html
czcams.com/video/aTjrwWObxUk/video.html
Bunions are solely caused by wearing shoes that squash your toes in. Get quality toe spacers and shoes with a large toe box and you will be cured
I am suffering with this 😢 i just found out i had it at 35. Its really emotional not knowing what was wrong with you or how to fix it. I have cried so much. God bless you for this video and for trying to help ppl who are suffering
You're welcome! Did you find this helpful?
I would also recommend following the Daily Routine video to learn all the fundamental movements. Here it is...

I've spent the last 5 years healing & fixing things out of alignment from childhood trauma & my body reacting physically to emotional abuse & anxiety. I can tell you once I got strict with my walk with God 2 years ago, my healing increased rapidly. God literally signals to me what my body needs (food, exercise, stretches) in prayers he releases and helps me forgive emotional blockage, & with his word I am reaffirmed. I ask for prayer & patience when I feel overwhelmed from all the work that needs to be done. I pray he encouraged you, In Jesus name!
@@LivingfodaLord sister Alexis thank your for this encouraging word. I haven't had the best experiences as a child emotionally either. he does send us the wisdom we need to thrive in this life!!! We are so blessed!!
I had this as a child, it's mind over matter... I reversed it by forcing to keep my feet parallel when walking running.. never too late.
