In-toeing & Out-toeing may have NOTHING to do with Your Feet!!!

I’m age 60 and was treated with corrective shoes and a bar in the 60s. My left hip still has hip externally rotated. It causes trouble because I have leg length discrepancy. But I’m pretty sure it’s just tightness of all those ligaments.after all these yrs it’s too stuck in its old ways so to speak. Plus 36 yrs of nursing didn’t help.

But how do we fix?

[@FeldenkraisNYC]

There is nothing that can be done to immediately fix the structure of the bones. There are invasive surgical interventions (osteotomies) that may address the most severe cases. My point was to avoid effortful correction, by making yourself walk against the internal architecture. It would be better to allow walking that is not perfectly straight.

​@@FeldenkraisNYCinteresting. Is it possible for one femur joint to fit natural at a different angle than the other?
