TOE-OUT GAIT/WALKING

Look down at your feet when walking.  Do they both turn out equaly to the same degree?  Is there one that turns out more than the other?  Why does this happen?

What do you see?  Are both sides symmetrical?

The lateral line that tightens includes: tensor fascia latae (TFL), vastus lateralis (side quad), biceps femoris (side hamstring head), ITBand, lateral gastroc head, and peroneals.

So if you're wondering why you have chronic dealings with ITBand tension, hip bursitis, have to always wear a knee brace, piriformis syndrome, patellar tendonitis, posterior tibialis tendonitis, big toe joint pain, bunion, etc., check the lateral line tension of your leg. You can loosen it, but the actual structure needs to be mobilized to restore resting pelvis position and regain full hip mobility. Best physical therapy practice is to address mechanics above and below the area pain is experienced because the actual area of pain is rarely WHY it hurts.
