How do your hips move? (Walking)

How you move your hips
means more than you think!

When walking or running, it is very important how our leg can go back behind us,
A lot is depending on the range of motion of our hips, ankles and feet
and your restrictions may be limiting your movement options.
There are infinite actual variations, but most can be split into one of these three categories.

The neutral way
This is when the foot sort of goes straight back, and the thigh is pointed straight forward the whole time.

This way is not as common as you think, and people who think they perform a neutral step path, will find they are not, review recorded footage of their gait.

We often misinterpret, what our bodies are actually doing, from lack of interoception., which is a skill in itself.


Next, is with external rotation
this is when the foot goes behind you but the thigh rolls externally as the foot/leg goes under and behind you -
this can rotate the foot inside the shoe towards the pinky side with each step.
and will place more pressure on your medial arch,
leading to hyperpronation.
combined with narrow shoes ,
this equals bunions.

for most people this is a developed habit
and not innately how our mechanics work
We have overridden our movement code
with influence of our culture
Just think about what image comes to mind
when imagining a cool person walking
