It’s called “pigeon-toeing”, I think. I do it all the time because I can feel a positive difference. The thing is, I have no idea why. I always assumed it was biomechanical but there may be a neuropsychological component

    My mom had issues with this as a kid (no idea why it was an issue, must that it sounds like it caused problems of some kind?) She addressed it by getting super duper into roller skating

    She recently picked it back up and it makes me happy. Now she regularly still does her two favorite childhood pastimes: thrifting and skating, and has added camping, something that would have been unthinkable in the past

      It’s different for me, there is this problem with my posture that went undioagnosed for a long time, and rotating my legs inward kinda stabilizes my torso and lets me breathe better

    Not as bad as an adult. But when I was a kid I was literally “knock kneed” when running my knees would knock together and yeah I was never a good runner.
