This type of hip deformity is triggered by the abduction and external rotation of one hip combined with the adduction and internal rotation of the other.
The result is that the whole lower body swings slightly to either the left or right. As well as making sitting uncomfortable, hip deformity can also induce muscle stiffness and pain felt in the thighs, knees and groin area.

This move fully loads your hip joint thinking about bone density? You can feel the iliac crest by pushing your hands on your sides at your waist, feeling for the bone and following it down and to the front.
