Very useful, thank you. I have a weakness on one side, which has lead to bad technique, leaning forward, to the side, and so on. This video helps to understand the forces involved and why remaining upright is important. Sometimes, I have issues with coming to a halt - say when people ahead of me slow down. Also, small movements, changes of direction, etc. are tricky, however, I am finding that with increased use of the arms and rotation, as you have suggested, things are starting to improve.
@@ToddMartinMD Thank you - that would be great, do you have the link? Fortunately, I spotted 'How to Walk Properly with Dr. Todd Martin' a few days ago and am now systematically working through your course. I have undergone some years of physiotherapy, which has helped in certain areas, but following your video tips, I have to say that this is the first time I have experienced a clear and significant improvement in my walking.
Here is the link. I noticed this video is pretty old and requires you to know the Core Techniques, which you can find in the other videos. I will need to make a more up to date and detailed video on this topic, but you can start with this. ua-cam.com/video/VVrWUKoa86c/v-deo.html
Good morning doctor I am a club level tennis player.For serving slice l have to twist my left lower waist ,due to this twisting motion I get a pain while I walk.Can you suggest any fix for this ,thanks
That is hard to say because you may be straining yourself with the tennis serve. I can’t tell what issue with your walk may be contributing to the pain.
Yes it is straining my left SI joint while serving.And while walking when I transfer my weight on standing leg it is giving pain.So my Doc has suggested to serve under hand so that it won't twist can it be a solution
@@davidwebb5505 If the sensation is decreased significantly, then wearing protective shoes is very important to prevent hidden injuries. Also, a daily visual inspection of the bottoms of the feet is important. I don’t think there is any change to the basic walking technique I would recommend.
I have problem walking comfortably, I struggle keeping my head up and lifting my toes up, my arthritis in my right knee is worse, but I think if I could just walk normally, it would hurt less. I was wondering if walking with sticks would help, my knees to hurt less.
Walking in general is recommended for people who have knee pain. I don't know that using a stick would be extra helpful. I believe that walking with better technique is even more helpful, so I try and work on your technique.
Ok, so when you were walking faster at 3:00 you made fewer steps across the room, so you increased your stride length, also, your arms naturally had a larger swing and it seems like they were being thrown back slightly behind your body. I'm trying to justify the arm throw-back in speed walking - does it also help with your core rotation in regular walking when the speed is higher? Say 7.5 - 8 km/h? Or are those already speeds at which you should just start running and be done with it?
If you watch closely, you will see the arms may move faster, on account of the faster core rotation, but they definitely do not go back behind the body. They still drop right to the side of the body. This wouldn't be the best video to judge because I go from slow to fast, so I am really only taking about 3 fast steps. This video is focused on changing speed, not just walking fast. You have to stop thinking of arm swing as something that affects your walk. The way you walk (with your core) creates the arm swing. The arm swing behind the body involves simultaneously pushing with the glutes of the standing leg while pulling up with the hip flexors on the side of the swing leg. That generates a faster impulse and harder heel strike. There is a video with a tall blonde guy walking fast, and that is the technique he is using. The stride length is huge and the back arm swing is the same amount of the forward arm swing.

Glad to hear this seems helpful. I do have a video specifically on stopping if you haven’t seen that yet. That might benefit you also.

I'd like to add that I run too, but I'm interested in fast walking when I don't want to run.
