How To Correct Duck Feet (Feet Turn Out) | Step By Step Program

  • In today's video, we're going to diagnose the root cause of your duck feet and give you the proper program you need based on which muscles are causing the movement impairment.
    There are several causes of duck feet but in this video we go over the two most common causes I see with new clients. That is excessive hip external rotation and a lack of ankle dorsiflexion.
    Let's diagnose which one of these may be causing your feet to turn outward and I'll give you the stretches and strengthening exercises to fix it for good.
    I hope this helps and if you have questions please let me know in the comments.
    Thanks for watching!

    I was bullied throughout high school for having duck feet and I never knew this could be treated and corrected till now. This is literally my biggest insecurity and I would do anything to get rid of it. I am gonna try this for a month and see if I get the results.

    Thank you for this, I've had this problem for 38 years and didn't even know it was a problem until a few years ago. I've always been self conscious about how I walk and wondered why I was always walking and running funny. I can't tell you how many times I've twisted an ankle running! Not only that, but I've been running into things or tipping over. It wasn't until this week that I started having pain in my left knee, hip, and calf muscle. Thank you for this video, I'm going to try fix these problems as soon as I get home!

    @hp7937 3 роки тому +9

    Hi there. I have fixed them. Man it is a painful and long process. My DF were accompanied with other issues, but once you are young, you can solve it hands down. But supination and pronation may arise. I have used different stretching techniques and depending on how long you have stayed with DF, all the muscles in your body will accordingly react to the correction of them (parallelism, extension and opposition notions come into play to say the least)). I would not recommend fixing DF for those with spine protrusion or any other form of spinal disc herniation without medical ou physiotherapeutical orientation - man, that is serious, it is very painful and many unpleasant memories are brought back. Do it when young and complications can be managed easily, since the tendons and muscles are not as tight as compared to older people's, and as we are leaner and less prone to changes. All the best.

    Holy shit... I've been watching a bunch, been trying everything, nothing is working, I thought "that's gotta be bullshit." About the calf being too tight causing it. Idk about that, but I did the foam roller thing (wrong, then right)
    And just flexing the foot in a mix of what you and another guy showed,
    And I, just a bit, finally saw my feet go more forward than they've been... Ever.
    It'll be a slow process (though I've been stretching my calf's for other reasons, so this really just ads into it)
    So... I hope this may be the answer to my problems... If so, than thank you!
    But gotta see if I can stay consistent with it first.
    And foam rolling hurts! Didn't feel anything particularly tight though. 🤷‍♀️

    So if my foot points out but my knee is straight, and when I straighten my foot back inward my knee rotates in is that the second one you said not to do with the hips?

      Hey Angela, it sounds like you may have external tibial torsion based on your description. I would recommend talking to your doctor. Unfortunately, I don't think any of these will help as they are for duck feet that's caused by muscle imbalances.

      Yes, if both are restricted it would be best to put in work on both of them. Good question :)

    Hi! i had duck feet since my childhood. Earlier back then , i didnt used to give much attention to it, now currently i am 20 and its kinda bothering me, i have 2 questions, it will be quite helpful if u clear them out for me
    1. can i fix it now? as i am already 20 yrs old
    2. if yes , how long gonna it take ? to fix this

    • @JustinMartinezCPT

      Hey! Yes you can fix it now regardless of age and how long it'll take depends on several factors so I can't really give you an estimate but if you stick to the video instructions you should gradually see it improve.
