Hi.
I have had a knee injury for some time which I think occurred due to too many turkish getups at too heavy a weight.
So, I stopped with the getups and am currently focusing on rehabilitation of the lower body to make my knees better.
I've noticed that my feet are crooked. The left foot is pointed a little bit to the left, and my right foot is pointed very far to the right.
So I walk down the street like a penguin. And when I'm in the gym and in squat position both feet become point very far in opposite directions. Its very uncomfortable to force the feet to point straight, particularly when in the gym and doing any kind of lifting.
I had always thought this was normal because everyone I see on the streets has this condition too, so more and some less.
But I've read that this is actually unnatural and bad for you, that it is caused by years of shoe wearing and other conditions of the modern civilized world.
Is this true? Should I seek to fix it? Would it help with knee rehab and prevention of future leg/knee injuries?
If so, how should I address this? There are many YouTube videos on this, but every video gives completely different directions!
And some videos give only 1 exercise to fix it, and others 12 exercise, which is a bit much.
I'm totally ignorant and would appreciate any knowledge from people who know about this issue and have experience "fixing" it in themselves or others.
Thank you.
