The first metatarsal head and medial heel. This does not mean you give up the fifth metatarsal head and the lateral heel. Absolutely not, because that would create an orientation of the pelvis to produce internal rotation, which is what some people do. This is why we're talking about recapturing early representations, as that first superimposition of internal rotation is where you can easily teach someone to capture those foot cues. There's less load on the foot, so they can actually feel things. When you push on a foot really hard, you tend not to feel things as well. You need to teach her how to capture those foot cues first, because if she doesn't have a foot cue, she won't create the proximal representation you're looking for. You need that proximal internal rotation, which you'll have to do through the foot first. Teach that. Then, she should be able to sense when she captures it, because the muscle activity will increase dramatically. If you're palpating, you'll know right away and be able to tell if it's an orientation or not. She'll push the inside of her foot into the ground, but you still won't feel the muscle activity you want because she'll still be externally rotated and just oriented over that.
