What you said about the guy doing the stretches having his hip out of alignment is interesting.

I have a runner friend who's hips were put out of alignment by incorrect orthotics(custom made by a podiatrist!) and has taken 8 months of Pilate's work to be able to run again.

I have a slight hip misalignment which might be from orthotics (made by the same podiatrist) but could also be from boxing (the effect of practicing only orthodox stance for several years?).

Would you recommend these exercises to correct pelvic misalignment along with pilates?

Are boxers prone to hip misalignments from practicing only one stance all the time?
