    Senior medical student here, I just finished praying and my mom pointed out that my feet are pointing to the side when I pray, never in my 22 years of living, or 8 years of lifting, did i think anything of it, actually I thought everyone stood up like this.
    Anyway I looked it up, found this video, tried the first exercise, and low and behold my feet are almost straight now.
    I'll definitely be adding these exercise to my daily stretching routine, thanks a bunch!

    Thank you so much Blake. I was having left hip soreness where it was difficult to raise my left leg. After doing just two of your techniques the pain and stiffness began to go away. The first glute tech with the ball I hit a major trigger point, from there on I knew what I had to do. Most of my pain and stiff 90% are gone, of course after golf and gym there is some stiffness but now I know exactly where the root cause is.

    My life was just saved from watching this video. I've been getting duck foot on my right foot and it just now was so bad that my knee was in serious pain. The knee cap was starting to shift to the right. I rushed and did the first massage technique under the right thigh to butt. Now my knee looks a lot better. There's still some sharp pains but I think the problem is on it's way to being solved.
    Been watching all your videos to try to cure my curved back and apt. Helping a lot! Thanks so much!

Going to start using this and hopefully it fixes all my issues. still no idea why i get bursitis ive had MRI's Xrays and ultra sounds

    Yowza! My duck feet got me a scholarship to the National Ballet of Canada... which was quite short lived... but the turnout hasn't been. I don't have flat feet though - I've actually got a pretty stellar arch (probably the thing that also got me noticed in a community ballet class, lol).
    Since I was 16 I was told to watch my knees, and I've never been able to touch my toes. Side splits? Sure (when I was younger)... but never on a forward fold. I always just thought it was because I was 'hamstring challenged', but THIS info is very interesting, and I'm shocked that I've never really heard anyone talk about this before!
    Plus, not gonna lie, duck feet ain't pretty.... I'll try these. Thanks!

    I have a L4 left side mostly hernia. I have an externally rotated right leg only. I usually get some sort of release by simply doing the opposite movement, i force my right leg to intoe (pidgeon toe) for a short while, hold for 30-60 seconds 2-3 times and instantly my leg and feet feels more like staying straight. Repeat as required.

    First You said tight medius muscle is responsible for external rotation of feet but then you gave exercise to strengthen our gluteus medius.
    However, Muscle responsible for internal rotation are mainly adductor longus, bravis & magnus. Piriformis, pectinius and only anterior portion if medius

    After I stopped sports like 3yrs ago, I became very sedentary. I wasn't stretching/working out daily like I used to and instead, I was sitting for hours everyday at the computer/in class. Fast forward, I've developed a tight lower back, knee pain, and duckfeet. My mother thinks its because I always wear sneakers and they "offer no arch support", seeing as how I'm flat-footed. But I've been wearing sneakers since middle school (10+ yrs) ago and never encountered this issue. I'm gonna give these exercises a go and give an update.

    • @JohnM...
      @JohnM... 7 лет назад +4

      Alan Bejarano bit late, but it's just the best Grove that your hips are aligned to. There's NO one proper squat stance. Some people ( mostly short and stumpy) have to have straight feet while squatting, others, like you and myself, have to stand with duck feet send splay their knees out as they squat. No one right way - whatever feels mechanically correct and comfortable is optimum so don't TRY to fit your muscle mechanics into an " ideal" position

    Duck feet isnt a bad thing, I stopped walking like that when I got low confidence a couple of years ago, but resently I've been doing confidence therapy and my walk has changed back to the way it was, intact I'm more duck foot then ever, I think you guys are over thinking things

  • @scottcaine4514
    @scottcaine4514 7 лет назад +1

    got any exercises to solve this? I have found a few but wanted to know if you recommend same or something new. Muscles are surely tight because they are overactive. Loosening/stretching them will only solve the issues temporarily, if at all. You would need to strengthen hip internal rotators. Any suggestions welcome.

    I have only one duck foot. The other one turns slightly inward- probably to compensate. I have to think about it constantly to get the duck one straight.

    I don't have duck feet but I will rotate my feet outward while riding the subway. Having duck feet could be a natural advantage if you're a subway rider, it helps to stabilize you with constant rocking back and forth...not so much of you are a runner.

    Hey Blake. Could duck feet lead to Piriformis syndrome and discomfort in the static nerve. I have definitely been having the symptoms of Piriformis syndrome and was wondering weather these stretches and strengthening exercises can help get rid of the pain I'm having . I also have duck feet. Thanks

    Hello.. When I lie down my right leg rotates outwards.. the foot is 90 degrees turned and flat on the bed and the knee is pointing about half way outwards as well.. straightening them requires a very conscious effort and is quite exhausting.. would you perhaps have any tips for this? i tried reading up on it but most articles get too technical and Im not even sure im reading the right one.. :(

    So are you saying that duck feet is caused by strong/tight abductors and weak/loose adductors? Or only tight abductors?

    • @killersloth8779
      @killersloth8779 3 года назад

      Both. One muscle group is too strong. For some reason you taught yourself to walk using mostly one side, so they are tight and a bit over developed while the other side barely gets used and so it is relatively weak.

    thx soo much I've been watching your videos recently because I've always been very inflexible at the back of my body while my quads biceps and chests have been naturally very strong. I am always finding myself injured especially because I play footbal (soccer). I have this weird problem tho. my shins curve inwards causing my feet to go at a 45 degree angle if my knees are straight. I have so much wrong with my body it's unbelievable so thx very much for these videos
