What do you recommend doing if I have retroversion on only one side?

[@mrlnternational]

Thanks for taking the time to make this video

[@RickOldermanPT]

You're welcome. I hope it helps.

[@nancycy9039]

This is very helpful. Thanks! The videos which you point to at the end of these are not linked. There is a photo of the first slide l, but none of them are links

[@RickOldermanPT]

Thanks Nancy, I'll go back and try to put them higher on the list. I've made too many to be shown on the list.

Oh shit... that perfectly recreates my compensations. I feel the increased tension, and a locking of movement, then my hips begin to rotate towards my left and also forwards. This causes my foot to excesively pronate and my knee to twist and cave in. The thing is, what methology of walking would be the least stressfull on my body? I seem to naturally transition between different gaits with different compensation, obviously none feel correct and all have thrir downsides, but which would be the most ideal? For added info, i currently have a pelvis xray with signs of cam impingement and acetabular retroversion. My left hip moves well, it just gets stress related pain and probably some soft tissue damage due to impingement. My right side however seems heavily retroverted. If i lie on my back, my hips will rotate all the way around to the left tonthe point theres little right glute contact with the surface yet the leg will rest at least 30 degrees from neutral. Or a 10 degree incline from the outer foot being entirely flat on the surface. It also feels like the leg pulls away from the body as if the body is trying to pull down and left across the body and the leg wants to go out and away from the body. It also kind of feels like the femur actually rests on the surface pushing into it, whilst the hip pushes up and away. Activating the right abductors increases this sensation and it feels like im trying to push my right inner groin out in front of my body.

What???? This is a KZbin video, man, for an overview, not a complex personal consultation.

[@pamelagileno5483]

Pretty sure I have femoral retroversion. I can’t get my feet to ‘not’ turn outward. Best athletic shoes for women with this condition and who also have wide feet?

[@isaacurtiz952]

It seems like I have this. Where can I find more information about this? And what are your thoughts on doing daily exercises to improve internal rotation? As an athlete it’s very important to have access to these sport specific movements that require a level of internal rotation

[@RickOldermanPT]

It's difficult to find this information. My Fixing You: Hip & Knee pain book on Amazon discusses it.

[@iamhimman]

i have quad tendonitis but i notice my knee points out and i also feel more strain doing quad based work witht he foot pointed out then a internal rotation. do you think this may be an issue for something like quad tendon

[@rickolderman7514]

I really couldn't comment, I'm sorry. There are too many possibiilities.

[@n.a.1397]

I have this. Is it normal to not be able to squat below parallel? I get a weird narrow stance with duck feet.

[@RickOldermanPT]

There are several other issues that could contribute to not squatting parallel.

[@chillrats7730]

i have retroversion and it is genetic but I play volleyball and have many random knee and leg pains. They even last weeks since I last practiced and jumped. I’m quite young by the way still a teenager. I’m wondering if this has to do with retroversion, could you please help me out?

[@chillrats7730]

More detail the pains could occur at random points in the day and could be in the inside or outside of my knee around the top or the bottom, random stuff.

[@RickOldermanPT]

@@chillrats7730 could be several things. You have a few options for help from me.
