Should you try to internally rotate your feet if you're duck footed?

  • Does it make sense to try to consciously internally rotate your feet when your feet point out to the sides?

    I'm hoping that you're still making videos and that I can find one where you give some exercises for this. All of these symptoms sound exactly like what I've suddenly experienced, and I found this looking for someone explaining a unilateral rotation (and how to fix it)

    I keep hearing from you in your videos to stretch, but once you're stretched, how do you strengthen/tighten the right muscles to turn your legs straight forward? Thank you.

    Hi, I so much like your videos !
    I have terrible hip and leg pain from a flat foot (did not heal properly after sprain)
    Could you do a video about which muscles to strenghthen and which to relax when having this ?

    I love you. I think this is why my hips seem to get tight recently.
    My feet are always slightly externally rotated. Well 1 foot more than the other.
    I am also lacking internal rotation in my hips though. Any exercises to strengthen my internal rotators of the hip?
    How do you restore natural hip balance?
    What about deadlifting? Should I keep my feet forward or slightly turned out? Not crazily strong, my DL is around 380.

    Thanks. I'm duck footed on one side and trying to straighten my legs forcefully REALLY screwed me up to the point where i could barely stand and walk without crippling pain. It was incredibly scary as i am only 32 years old.
    Being duck footed on one side does affect the way i walk negatively though. I kind of internally rotate one hip slightly at this point.. i wish i could see you in person!

      FYI.
      I ended up having my tibia cut and rotated into the correct position and standing/walking has improved a ton.

  • @jasonclement6305

    Such a great bit of advice. I was taught to squat and legpress with my toes forward and ran into similar symptoms. I ended up with tender tfl and glute med areas and low back pain.

    Thank you so much for talking about this, I too, am facing the same pain from doing the same thing. Time to see my physician and get a referral for orthopedics.

    Very good video, read an article online couple days ago telling me to internally rotate the foot. Did that for a couple days but after watching this I won't be doing that no more. Just doesn't feel right.

    It makes a lot more sense to say that you should progress over time instead of trying to rush into something that your body isn't used to.

    My issues staryed when i began trying to keep my legs straight. Some people are just predisposed to having different muscular/ skeletal issue.i have a 17 yr old son and he walks like me.

  • @andylongboards
    @andylongboards Pƙed 3 lety +1

    I suppose a slight duck footed position would be normal and maybe the most biomechanically correct , especially for retroverted hips. Is that the case?

    Pete Egoscue of the Egoscue Method teaches that all people should actually have their feet straightforward and that everted feet or duck feet is an unhealthy compensation.
    I've begun forcing my feet to point straight ahead during certain movements and it has not hurt me after 6 weeks of doing this.

  • @sallywhite8261

    Help I have severe pain. Not walking. Piriformis syndrome and one foot wont turn in. Could it be because of that? I can't figure out how to fix leg. That leg has electric pain shooting. My leg is weak and painful if I move it. Back pain said bad I don't leave house. I can't walk without severe pain

  • @Regulification

    what if you work out your glutes and working the inner thighs ?? (while forcing the legs straight)

    What if my hips aren’t the issue and it’s only pointed outward below the knees?

    • @superjlk_9538
      @superjlk_9538 Pƙed rokem

      That would be an issue with muscles or tendons below the knee

  • @rc198028
    @rc198028 Pƙed rokem

    My thinking is to work on increasing internal rotation range of motion/strength whilst inhibiting external rotators and the gradually increase walking with deliberate hip internal rotation ... over time this should teach the body how to integrate the increase hip internal rotation/strength and become a habit ... seems to make sense to me? Anyone disagree? Thanks

  • @annmartin1376
    @annmartin1376 Pƙed 4 lety

    the piriformis when tight can pull your hips outwards, foot will follow

    I've had duck feet my whole life and im 29 now never gotten any leg injuries, go to the gym a lot and play football. It just looks really silly and makes me self conscious other than that I don't even notice it
