One of the most common things we see in runners is a narrow step width. When the foot lands too close to the midline, the pelvis often drops to the opposite side. Over time this can increase stress through the hip, knee and lower leg and reduce efficiency with each stride.
In this runner’s analysis you can see an obvious pelvic tilt during stance, which often reflects limited frontal plane control of the pelvis and hip. When the body lacks control here, the leg tends to drift inward and the step width narrows.
To address this we used a high-knee lunge with a power band. The band provides a lateral pull that challenges the body to stabilise the pelvis while driving the knee up. To control the movement, the runner must actively recruit the adductor muscle group, helping create better hip stability and alignment.
The adductors play an important role in controlling pelvic position and managing step width during running. Training them in a dynamic, running-specific position helps translate strength directly into better mechanics.
