Do You Have The Tight Hip Walk?

  • Here’s how a hip that can’t rotate can become the root cause of lower back, hip, knee, or foot pain. [1]
    A hip must be able to rotate a minimum of 15-20 degrees to protect neighboring joints like the lower back, knee, and ankle.
    Now, if your hip can’t rotate, there are two main ways your body will compensate.
    1. A very visible snapping leg twist (I’m exaggerating this motion to highlight it)
    2. Asymmetrical shoulder rotation and arm swing.
    Ideally, when your left leg steps forward, your left pelvis moves forward with it. The right hip absorbs the rotation created by the left leg, moving you forward.
    But what happens if that right hip can’t absorb that rotation?
    As soon as the right heel lifts off the ground, that stored rotational force snaps the leg and rotates it.
    This ‘snapping’ motion alters how the spine, hip, knee, and ankle all move with each step.
    Where this compensation becomes a chronic problem is at scale. If you walk some 5,000 steps a day. This happens 5,000 times a day. That adds up to 35,000 times a week, which means over a month, this compensation occurs 140,000 times.
    If painful movement problems or muscular imbalance are preventing you from doing what you want, let's first look at how you’re walking to understand why you feel the way you do.
    Put your phone on a chair, and record yourself walking.
    Then review.
    Does one of your legs ‘snap’ when the heel lifts off the ground?
    How about your arm swing, is one arm swinging more than the other?
    Leave a comment below with what you noticed. Let's talk about it!

      ​@@Zero00106 nothing to be embarrased about
      Male hips do sway as well to a certain degree
      Female hips look like they sway more because they are wider
      It is normal mechanics of the male body but if it sways too much than it needs correction
      Observe any man walking with a good posture and you will notice they do have a noticable hip sway side to side just not as much as women
      Only time they do not sway is when we are in posterior pelvic tilt
      Hope that helps you be more confident because I had the same problem

      Try to walk with your leg more straight, i see some people walk with knee bend and dragging the lower leg, next time you walk, try to lift more of your thigh up

    this idea that the pelvis rotates forward with the forward leg means that the body is essentially pulling through the walking pattern instead of pushing. this would imply that the back leg would have a pelvis that's posteriorly rotated with an internal rotated femur which would switch off the glutes. so it actually works against what the muscles are suppose to be doing.

    So in the video you see if the right hip can't rotate. Do you mean that the right hip lacks internal rotation?

    bit of a math error here: if you do 5000 steps, this only happens 2500 times, if it is only on one side as demonstrated here.
