Why did I enjoy this so much? Because if I'm just learning to WALK at this age...then the whole world is new! I can start again... Thank you sir!

I have been walking wrong for over 20 years of my life, my adductors muscles being as big as they are should be proof enough. Plantar fasciitis when I walk too much or run. I'm extremely grateful for this very educational video.

After the pandemic’s isolation for 2 years, I felt like I forgot how to walk properly and it’s been causing me a lot of other issues when I picked up dancing more frequently too. I’m glad I found this video now - thank you for a very good explanation using graphics as well as actual demonstration. I particular like seeing how the arch on each foot lifts up as you twist from one side to the other.

This needs more views. There's a lot of advice out there telling everyone its incorrect to walk with your heels

I would've like to see you walk a couple of step from different angle I don't really understand. Very interesting !

I'm about to write my bachelors degree in physiotherapy. You really nailed this one 💪 You're explanations coupled with the graphics worked really well!

Great! Ive been watching some videos about walking and this is the best explanation ive found. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing all of this, I really enjoy - and need these videos, and you are a very good teacher!

This is amazing info. Never heard before and always wondered. Thank you!!!!

Nice one, sir! I understand my imbalances much better now, and how they are connected

Best explanation I've ever seen!

This is really, really good! I've been looking for in-depth information on the muscular mechanics of walking for a long time. This is put together really well.

Great video. Really love the in depth explanation. Its given me some good body cues for when I am walking long distances.

Awesome...please more videos on proper walking...thanks!

Thanks.

Thank you!

I like your vid. That I learn how to walk properly. Coz I had hip pain...get back on track...

Thank you so much 🥰 💘

I had a knee injury in my left leg....I stopped walking properly after that.. When my left leg was healing I put all my weight on my right and started walking straight...that's where I went wrong .thanks

This was very helpful thank you

Thanks boss.

Very good to understand, please make Squad with Weights on the shoulder I want to hear and see the perfect squad .. cause wanna see if my Technik and understanding is the same ..thank you !🙏

Thankyou. I need to do a bit more thoughtful placement of my feet and more arm swing. Im 67 and a few of my friends have face planted recently. I dont want to (😱) so I'm trying to learn physically how not to. Thankyou for your advice. It's very helpful.

You are very smart. Thanks!

Beautiful description, I've been suffering form morton's neuroma and now that I am walking like you instructed it is going away.

brilliant

2:27 key slide. For me it’s going to take practice for placement……too far back on the heel hurts my sciatic, but need that right spot to get the roll going along the foot

thanks for the video. should one make an effort to sway the hips a little while walking or rather not?

when I got orthotics he said I put my weight from heel to outside to the toe and I thought that was a problem this whole time due to my very high arches. I will have to pay attention to how i walk. thank you

Thank you. Can you do the same for running? Preferably barefoot running

Thank's Mr Physio, our US school marching band teachers need to know & share this knowledge during concert seasons! Many a day I have heard, "HEEL TO TOE!!! HEEL TO TOE!! HEEL TO TOE!"

There seems to be some discussion on whether or not glutes are used to push off in walking or not. What's your thoughts?

hmmm. I had to learn to walk again at 19. At 32, I'm still limping. This is useful!

I was off work for several months late last year and now that I am back to work my left foot has been hurting on the side part where you're describing as being the proper part of the foot to step on. So now I don't know how to correct my walking to get rid of the pain lol. My Mortons neuroma seems to be gone though. Maybe I need a new pair of shoes lol.

Hello do you have recommended excercise to achieve this i forgot how to walk cuz i been working from home now

Do you have video about bunion foot?

I have flat feet, does that affect my optimal "walking" technique? Should Istill roll to outside?

I was told I walk very nervous and I ended up here. Says I walk too fast I thought I walked with a purpose. They says you should swing your arms and go slow. I understand but I'm trying to get things done. They are lucky I don't run.

Thanks for the instructions! How much does your pelvis move from side to side form the rotation?

Can spine issues like vertebral hemangioma, spondilosis and disc bulges heal by proper walking? I remember when i was a teenager a few people told me that i was exaggerately moving.my hands while walking. So i stopped moving them alltogether for more tham 10 years. That plus too much sitting screwed up myback... i'll move my hands and walk like snake. Thanks.

I was under the impression front pad should hit first. Heel touching boarders on optional.

If you spend some time walking barefoot youll see you cant really walk heal to toe. You need at least a mid foot strike or even fore foot. Walking heal to toe just destroys your heals.

our spinal cord/backbone are shaped like a serpent/snake that's why no single snake dare to harm me any species any size even so many times big King Cobras and huge Pythons were passing on my side and they just crawl nicely and quietly on their own way looking for preys as they sense your aura and your steps your heartbeat and breathe too and they know "who's the boss" stand and walk straight shoulder relax and chest a bit to the front, spinal stay straight naturally and buttock a bit up almost like a letter s (a typical alpha sigma gentlemen walk and stand posture). That's how king cobra stands too ready to attack anytime. Komodo Dragons are my friends too :) As our Sumatran Wise Ancestors has always said "Alam Takambang Jadikan Guru" (Wide Open Nature Let It Be Your Teacher/Guru). That's also why Sumatra+Java+Malay+Thai has deadly Tiger style Silat/Martial Arts.

the last diagram is incorrect and contradicts the walking pattern explained. I agree with all except the tradition diagram showing the pelvis is forward on the forward landing leg. this would imply that the trailing leg in internal rotated and pelvis posteriorly rotated inhibiting the glutes and extension muscles, essentially pulling the body forward instead of pushing. a lot of physiological still claim this incorrect pattern and causes so many issues with weak hips and inhibited muscles.

should we land foot on heels or front foot?

is duck feet bad?

Many physios are suggesting midforefoot walking whats your take on that? :)

Shouldn't the heels swing away from the body to protect the knee ligaments?

How can I fix knock knee during walking please

Dear Sir, Excellent from pure ergonomical point of view, may be good for sportsmen for walking disciplines. When at school our PT teacher also emphasized it especially for better jumping. Lizzard walking is also taught in Okinawan schools of Karatebut with a phased approach. Itś really god for fightingas zig-zag movement may deceive the opponent of our true direction of movement. Yert, I dońt think it would suit everyday way of walking, toavoid negihbours talking. Unfortunately , Mother Nature made us different from lizzard, they utilize their spines more actively. The speed walkers do so, as well. In my humble opinion, letś lieave it tosports, normal life is different. Paul, 68, retired instructor of martial arts.

If u wlk and show it's great theroy more

the hip of the rear, pushing of leg rather rotates inside as otherwise we wouldn't go straight. Allegedly, external rotation of the rear hip is wrong and incorrect and very often result of insufficient internal hip rotation. Too much confusing information, everybody says something else.

Might help to show us youbwalking

bit frustrating because you don't show the correct way of walking by taking a few steps to show us what it looks like

This is wrong. Heels should move to the outside, not to the inside. The hip should internally rotate, not externally rotate.

Theory without demonstration

Sir, you cannot promote making a heel contact first.

Evolved, if the genetics actually was not generated on this Earth; what if the genetics was generated Eons ago in another place of space and brought here; the mechanism of all living beings, plant and animal, is very complex beyond our understanding.

No, clu, confusing

A lot of talking and talking so bored to hear. Direct to the point coz I'm very tired of listening
