Our user asked: "been having right hip and persistent right si joint pain.(bad strain there for about 4 months now) been to 4 chiros. I notice the pelvis is anteriorly rotated on the right side and the right leg wants to rotate outward. I do bridges, pelvic tilts. Would it not make sense to perform adduction exercises to counteract the muscles rotating my leg outwards (duck foot)?"
 
Ask a PT Response: "Yes, it would make sense to work not only the adductors but the hip internal rotators as well. Chiropractors are great at getting an individual back into alignment. However, if the underlying cause of the misalignment is not corrected (ie. weakness, flexibility, posture, etc), one will continue to experience a recurrence of the condition. In your case, you might have an imbalance as well which will require stretching the tighter/stronger muscles. Attached are some sample exercises which I give my patients for strengthening. I would recommend you see a PT if your condition continues to persist."
