    However, lack of hip mobility is sometimes a consequence of poor stability. Check out this vid from Dean Somerset: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fzDw-vgQZ4 (from 05:00)

    Another thing: Why do the clever people sometimes mix up/disagree on which muscles cause IR restrictions? The 8week guy state TFL issues is IR issues; and periformis issues is ER issues. But very often, I’ve heard it the other way around! Why?

      Internal Rotation and External Rotation “issues” are very broad terms. When someone says there is an “issue” with IR/ER it could mean active or passive range of motion, strength, or motor control.

      The piriformis externally rotates the femur. A weak/inhibited piriformis could result in impaired active external rotation of the hip. A tight or facilitated piriformis could result in impaired passive internal rotation of the hip. It could also inhibit active internal rotation by the TFL and obdurator internus.

      The TFL internally rotates the femur, amongst other things. (Insert opposite of what I said for piriformis here).
