Look down from your hips; they are eventually connected to your feet. So, when the ankle bones of the feet change their positions, systematically the leg and thigh bones change their positions. This will systematically change the hip position as well. Therefore, the hip alignment test is a good follow-up test using the same orthotics that aligned the ankle bones.

The hip bone alignment test is simple one also since the concept is the same as the ankle bone alignment test: while sitting on a chair, apply weight onto the hip bone by lifting a weight with your hands. This will send the weight down through the spine onto your hip bone. If the hip bone is aligned, the weight will stay on it easier, thus making the lift easier. If the hip bone is tilted, the weight will tend to slide down, making it harder to lift the weight.

In order to do the hip bone alignment test, you need to sit down on the front edge of a chair with the hip bone (not sitting all the way back with the thighs on the chair). After sitting straight, bring your shoulders forward to position both hands slightly in front of the feet and slowly lift a weight.

As mentioned above, if your hip bone is aligned, you can lift the weight easily, and if it is not aligned, it will be difficult to lift.
