Default Rotational squats - Boyle

After reading Mike Boyle's article, "The Essential 8 Mobility Drills." I've been doing most of the drills but Rotational squats with the right leading forward - pointed straight - i am very weak, lack flexibility compared to the other side and it can hurt if i go down to far.

I will tell you guys this whole area has given me problems for a number of years, right glute, right lower back and right knee. I had right knee surgery about 8 years ago. However, my knee is probably better now then ever due to mobility work and i also think squats really helped.

This exercise is by far the most limiting and weakess for all the hip mobility drills i do and i've been doing them for over a year.

Thoughts?

Should i keep on doing them, slowly, with limited motion? I won't be training much the next 6mths because i'm going out to the oilpatch in alberta, however i will continue mobility work and try to get into a roller.

If anyone recommends one to one professional help, can you tell me what i should be looking for and any recommendations out west?

Thanks for any help, like i said this has been a problem area for along time.
