I was curious about internal rotation because I am experimenting with the idea that you have to at the very least “clean up” the areas.  However, if you have a leg length difference then I am sure no matter how much you clean up it will go back to how it was.  But…by cleaning up the area you can also see what that new range feels like.  

Anatomical means that you have a leg length difference because thats how long your femurs are.  Not because you have tight muscles and the femur is sucked up into your pelvis.  
Kefu,  do you notice how you stand around?  Are you leaning toward one side a lot?
