Thought due to the cycling bias this might be the best place for this question:
I have a hip imbalance. It manifests itself in my right-side hip rotating backwards and my right foot always wanting to angle out from my body. Whenever I build up to heavy anything in the gym, it gets more pronounced and it's impacting things again now. When cycling I now notice the difference even more now than before, I always feel 'off' the saddle sideways (and after years can't work out how to reposition correctly) and when I'm not using clipless pedals my feet both want to point leftwards. My right glute is also extremely reluctant to get involved in anything, I can focus on activating it but it requires all my mental space, leaving nothing for other cues.
Any specific advice? I know that general stretching/unilateral movements will improve things generally, but specific info/advice would be great.
