Hip Injury Prevention While Kicking Part 3.
After last two articles, one of the questions that came up was, “I kick with one leg and I keep injuring the supporting leg and not the kicking leg in the same place where you are explaining” What is the issue?
In short if there is no turn out in the supporting leg, the abduction is the same for both legs.
This simply means that both the kicking and the standing leg can anatomically move sideways away from the center line about 45 degrees. Combined is 90 degrees. Past this point there is jamming.
The leg with tighter adductors is actually more protected. (Adductors or inner thighs prevent abduction)
Imagine a right leg kicker. This kicker throws sides kicks, without turning out his left, supporting leg.
If his right adductors are tight, he is more likely to injure his left standing hip. Since tight adductors offer protection, against jamming.
I usually use mermaid stretch to confirm it. The tighter side will be higher from the ground.
The key again is to turn the supporting leg out. Regardless of which hip is jammed.
