Many glaring examples of this exist within the exercise science world. One of them is an understanding of hip, knee, and ankle alignment which has quite a bit of nuance. Within correcting people’s imbalances, there is this technique of prying the knees apart. It makes sense some of the time for some people. The reasons for this have to do with the way the tibia and fibula move, joint spaces, ankle dynamics, medial glute activation, and so much more. Prying is A part of understanding this. One technique.
