This test is designed to measure the function of your pelvis. In other words, how well it moves and how much spasm is in the muscles of your hips.

You can have spasm in your hip muscles without you even knowing it, and it can severely compromise your running technique.

Simply cross one leg over the the other and rest the ankle on the opposite knee. Check how far your knee drops towards the floor.

Compare the two sides.

They should be symmetrical. If they are not then its important that you follow the recommendations to reduce the risk of injuries we've warned about and possibly more.

  


If your pelvis doesn’t work properly, you have an increased risk of a leg length discrepancy (one leg being longer than the other) and a reduced stride length.

This leads to:

1. More pressure through your hamstring complex and increases the risk of injury to hip and hamstring.

2. An artificially short stride length so that you are running out of synch to your natural stride pattern, reducing your performance and increasing your risk of injury.

3. An increased risk of back and leg injuries due to the compensations that take place to cater for the lack of mobility and natural function of your pelvis.
