How to Walk Softly with Dr. Todd Martin. Learn how to glide when you step, with little to no impact on your joints when you place your foot. Keep your spine perfectly aligned. Walking with no impact requires controlling three phases of each step. This detailed video will set you up very well to improve your walk. The foot placement, the lowering of the forefoot, and the swing through are the three phases this video will help you master. Learn how to use your core muscles properly, including your lower abdominals, your gluteus medius, your gluteus maxiums, and your hip flexors. These muscles need to coordinate with every step. We control each step at the level of the core. The muscles in the knees, ankles, and feet respond reflexively to the pattern of core movement.
Walking softly will help prevent back pain, hip arthritis, knee arthritis, and numerous foot problems. This will help prevent flat feet. Depending on the surface we are walking on, we can place on the heel or the ball. I will show you how to use your core properly to choose the right foot placement.
