In this episode, Dr. Aaron Horschig explains why we need hip internal rotation & a simple way to improve that movement if lacking.
Internal rotation allows your body to squat with a relatively straight forward foot (something ALMOST ALL of us you should be capable of with a bodyweight squat). If we’re lacking hip internal rotation we find it leads to greater inclination for the knees to collapse in and the toes to spin out.
