I might be onto something here… I think I have a “full body torsion” for lack of a better term. I think if you were looking at me from above you might find that I have a clockwise twist to my body. This is a theory I’ve had for a couple years now. I did a test earlier today where I would stand a couple feet from a wall with back toward the wall then see how far I could turn my body left then right. I had a much easier time turning to the right than left. 

Spent a little more time on my stair test. I found if I concentrate on pushing the left side pelvis forward as the left foot reaches down to the next step I magically gain some ROM in my right ankle. When I stand up “straight” I think my right side pelvis is in a more forward position than the left side. I don’t know if this is necessarily the same thing as pelvic tilt. Seems to me this alignment problem would mean my left foot has farther to reach to get down to the next step than the right foot would.
In any case, I know I have a couple more things to work on.
