Feet Pointing Outwards

[George Grigoryan]

My feet point outwards when I walk or stand. Should I be concerned?

It's been like this for as long as I can remember.

Thanks.

Classic sign of weak hip external rotators-specifcially the glute medius. Chances are you have supinated feet also. What activities do you participate in?

I play soccer from the age of 6, I lift weights (almost 2 years; squat dead, chin, row, bench, military), and I have sex. I am 24.

If supinated feet means I am walking on the outer edges of feet, then yes I have that. I am also bowlegged.

Do I need to correct this? How do I go about this?

Thanks.

Typically with my clients, I address the glute medius as the initial corrective action to take, simply for the fact that the GPC that I deal with are seated throughtout the day and demonstate weak gluteals. I usally start with:

• Hip Bridges
• Bird Dogs
• Fire Hydrants

Than move on to:

• Lateral Band drills
• Quadruped Butt Raises
• Frontal Lunges

Clients are then instructed to perform daily:

• Integrated Hip Flexor Stretches
• Foam rolling

Should you correct it? yeah, I mean sure...you wanna get good at sex don't ya?
