By rotating you also open the foot and ankle which restores balance and functional movement back into the foot. Your knees will thank you for it.
Neck mobility is so important. How many people do you know who can’t look to the backseat of the car? In the true stretch you can position bilateral arms overhead and do simple neck extension and flexion and transverse plane rotation while the trunk is stretched and the shoulders are in flexion to gain degrees of motion and mobility.
In standing position reach an pull. Fully extend your arms then pull toward your belly and squeeze your shoulder blades together. Feet are externally rotated. Variable foot positions change the whole body chain reaction to the exercise.
This is a whole body chain reaction. Cable overhead press with trunk rotation. Sagittal plane foot stance. Great integration of muscles which from a functional movement standpoint makes more sense than isolating muscles which confuses the body.
