HELEN'S ONLINE COURSE and BOOK: the-pfm-way.thinkific.com/ & amzn.to/3Da1Wxd
My guest is my dear friend, Helen Hall. Helen is a movement therapist, she's a running coach, a pain expert…in fact, to be frank, all of these labels feel a little bit limiting - in many ways, I would call her a detective for the human body.
Helen has had a lifelong passion for analysing posture and movement, and her clients include elite athletes as well as regular everyday folk who simply want to walk or run pain-free. She combines objective clarity from motion analysis technology, 46 years of visual experience, and study in the field, to seek out the root causes of chronic pain and injury that often seem resistant to standard treatment protocols.
Helen first shared her movement philosophy in her wonderful book Even With Your Shoes On. More recently, she has launched an online course called PFM Pilot. It is aimed at both professionals working in the field of movement, pain, and injury, and also for amateurs keen to learn more and help themselves.
We look at the core principles of Helen’s approach. Awareness is everything and she teaches clients to really notice what their body is doing. Where is your head sitting? How are you using your arms? It’s only when you’ve noticed that you can begin to change. And changing means becoming more efficient - learning the adjustments that help you to move with freedom. Movement, Helen points out, is a ‘job share’. We need to be able to recruit as much of our bodies as we can to do it well.
I can testify to this holistic approach. Working with Helen hasn’t just changed my running, it’s helped me to walk faster, breathe better and stand more comfortably. It’s made me aware of how past injuries and trauma can affect you for decades. I’ve even learned how the surgery I had for appendicitis as a child played a huge part in my experience running the London Marathon.
And, this conversation is my first real deep dive into my marathon experience. It wasn’t the race I’d planned, but it turned out to be the race I needed. Helen helps me unpack why I found it so emotional and explains why my physical struggles were a sign of progress not limitation. I hope this conversation conveys just how valuable I think Helen’s approach is. Whether running is for you or not, I know it’ll get you thinking about how you’re sitting or standing right now, and noticing how you use your body for the rest of the day.

Midway through the video I am reminded of my days learning marshal arts and the philosophy of "No pain no gain" At age 70 I am still recovering form some of the injuries I self inflicted. About two years ago I learned that the brain loves fun. So rather than exercise, which I now hate. I am developing a methodology I call funersise. I get up every morning looking forward to my fun funersise session; rather than kidding my self that I don't hate exercise. Now I will also make sure I have my head right too.
I love that your ‘funersise’ (you should trademark that!!!) now includes noticing where your head is! 🙌
🌥️ ✨ I luv it!
It’s good a new look on dreaded word but maybe add another “n “ funnercise and yes trademark that..I read it like funeral .
Aaahhhhj, I love it!!! 😂

I started listening to the most recent podcast with Helen, and then came to listen to this first. Have ordered her book. Such good timing for me as I start on my walk/slow run journey again after a 19 year break (Fibromyalgia and CFS, plus possible Hip Bursitis- I am in the ANS Rewire recovery program now). I am also wearing barefoot shoes (after years of trainers with orthotics due to the chronic foot pain), and ordered some Vivobarefoot trail running shoes. I am 53, post-menopausal, and now is my time to enjoy movement again.
I used to run like a horse with bad hooves. It was embarrassing. I had to train my feet and start over many times. Just keep going.
55, by the way. Exercise helps keep the Bloating away. ❤
Love this so much for you 🎉❤😊
I'll never forget what Forrest Gump said about this very important topic, "And from that day on, whenever I was going somewhere, I was RUNNING!"

Thank you for this interview!
*Your body is a beautiful instrument.* It is marvelous in what it can do. But its real value is determined by what it serves. If it serves a conflicted agenda of the mind, then the body will do destructive things to itself and to other bodies in the world around you.
From: The Gift, by *Marshall Vian Summers*
Health is vitality. It is *the vitality born of living a genuine life* -a life that is full of meaning and purpose, a life that has direction and a life that is meaningfully engaged with others and with the world. This produces a vitality, a will to live and a desire to contribute-a certain zest for life.
From: *Living The Way of Knowledge* Chapter 4: *The Pillar of Health* by *Marshall Vian Summers*
Thank you for sharing
I took up jump rope instead of running in my 40s. Game changer for me. But whatever works for you just go for it !
Good to hear Kevin.
Dr Rangan thank you very much for your podcasts. They are ALL very interesting. Keep going and so by listening to you, all my stress and anxiety will finally vanish.
Very best wishes from sunny Cyprus.
Dr. Chatterjee, I love your podcasts. You are brilliant and your guests are also. I wonder if you would consider including details about what is being discussed, when (minute stops) so that when someone listens a second or third time they can more easily find the fine points that are being made during the conversation?
Hi Faith - this is something we are looking into. It is just a case of having the band-width to get this done. Hopefully soon! Rangan
Great conversation Dr Chatterjee
Thank You so much
That God keeps blessing you 🙏🏻
As a runner I've totally loved this podcast. I've learnt so much from this. I always carry my phone in my hydro pack on my back. I've never understood how anyone can carry anything whilst running.
Thank you! That was awesome conversation!
This is an absolute wicked insight into a "healing potential" that is seriously under utilised.
People are often looking for the "magic pill"/"quick fix"...........yet fail to take a step back and look at the eventful journey of their life for the clues that impact todays inefficient or painful movement!
Wonky Foundations.....love it
Rangan and Helen are legends!
Thank you.
So glad you liked it and thanks for taking a moment to leave a comment, Rangan
Very useful,inspiring and great conversation as always! Thanks a mil!
Dr Chatterjee thank you for this! I have apparently been living under a rock. I am always delighted to hear a brand new voice in the world of health and well being. I’ve never heard of your lovely guest-I’m now following her on IG. I loved this episode and now I want to know more. I’ve wanted to run but I thought honestly that it was a bad idea at my age 🤷♀️

Thank you for this interview!
another great conversation. thank yoou!!
It's a very good point about removing judgement, anyone out doing exercise is helping themselves and society, becoming fitter and healthier leaves you less likely to become burdensome on the nhs for one thing. The more out of shape I see someone out exercising the more respect I have for them. We can all take inspiration every time we see someone out running or exercising, we should all cheerlead each other to it.
Thanks for sharing!
Amen to that 🙏🏼
This is great encouragement.
Great post moretum discussion about your experience Dr. Rangan, thank you so much for sharing!!! ❤
Breathtaking futile side-effects of emotional movement regained. Enjoyed it , respect 🙌
How interesting and revitalising to our minds and bodies can running be...
wonderful loved this talk .. thank you so
much...
I remember when I stopped running as a child. It happened because I got taller and my bones and joints started aching when I ran. It no longer felt effortless as it did as a younger child. It's hard work hauling an adult sized, less flexible body around.
Rangan and Helen Bravo !!!!
I love Rangan and Helen.... Thank you for a great podcast 🙏🏽❤
Thanks so much for watching!
@@DrChatterjeeRangan my pleasure 😊
That last advice: "walk briskly before you walk" at least 10 minutes, golden advice. Thank you
I love running,as soon as I realized myself as a kid I ran 🏃♀️ at 53 years my hips won't alow me to run any longer I miss it soo bad I feel I am alive when I run I feel I am myself when I run I feel life worth living if I can run maybe if 1 day they fix arthritis ill be able to run again
Thank you both for this wholehearted, honest content. I found the conversation moving, intelligent and inspirational - I see now that it is possible to make a commitment to regular walking and running and to not be deterred by long held limiting beliefs. The practical tips from Helen about how we consider the position of our head and to walk before running, was so enlightening 😊I so much look forward to session 2. Blessings 🙏
Thank you so much for those kind words 🙏🏼
Right, walk BEFORE the run! So many insights and take-aways. Looking forward to Helen's videos and the learning. Thank you again for bringing the most amazing guests to your podcast. Also, what shorts do you both use for running... my thighs are in need of some good supportive shorts with side pockets 🙂
Fusion Power Tri Shorts … our favourite (and you don’t need to do triathlon to appreciate their fit and comfort!)
I really enjoyed listening to this conversation, I am a keen runner and also work in the area of rehabilitation. I was intrigued by the discussion of Rangan's marathon experience. This was refreshingly honest and heartfelt, but never once mentioned the psychological context of a race as a performance. The areas of biomechanics and environmental influences were explored in detail, was there a reason why you avoided the psychology of performance anxiety as a massive contributor to unexpected malfunction? Dr Jenevora Williams
Thanks Helen, for reminding me of all those fun times learning how to walk. Crawling was not fun. For one thing my head was too heavy to lift up all the time, so on several occasions I recall lifting my head to find myself heading in completely the wrong direction. Now it seems funny but it was not at-all at the time. Propping myself up using walls was a great help until the risk of falling on my face was diminished. In a sense the risk of falling on our faces never leaves us does it? Great video thanks again.
You REMEMBER all that? Wow 🤓
An observation about the humans having evolved and adapted to run for safety from the predators and in some cases even to secure food or procreate, (my wife ran away from home five time and I had to chase her back) is that human vertical posture prevents the abdominal viscera from assaulting the diaphragm as is the case with quadrupeds. Tribals exploit that fact to hunt wildebeests by running them to fatigue and attack when the exhausted quadruped pauses to rest. There are runners who can outrun horses and win a race against a horse due to that weakness of the quadrupeds where their diaphragms are under assault of their gut during their running. Wild cats try to minimize that by curling up prior to the leap whereby their hind limbs are in front of the forelimbs. Hoofed animals with big bellies cant do that. That works to the benefit of the predatorial cats to prey upon the hoofed beasts but that is a risky job even for them. Lions and tigers succeed no more than 1 in 20 in their chase of the prey. Humans really dont NEED to run to keep their cognitive function and cardiac performance in good shape. The KEY is to start early as in before entering the school and keep SPEED WALKING. The rule to remember is THE FASTER YOU WALK THE LONGER YOU LIVE !! forget extreme marathoning,that actually kills you fast
Love running and any type of movement. Just turned 60 and feel great.
GREAT to read this 🙌
I love this interview! Very informative😀 I would love to see more runners interviewed on your podcast. Keep up the inspiring and educational content! I would love insight from top performers.
Thanks Heather. I would love to - if you have any suggestions, please let me know! Rangan

Courtney Dauwalter, Catra Corbett,Hakim Tafari,Sanjay Rawal, Joham Steene, Harvey Lewis,the female amd male winners of the NYC marathon, just to name a few. I enjoyed you opening up about your journey in the London Marathon. It is truly intresting what comes up in the mind and body when you are running and the relief it brings many that suffer from addictions and mental health issues. A deep dive into how they started, what keeps them going, stories, pain endurance tips. I find runners absolutely fascinating. I have also been searching for more spiritual and tribal stories about running. Just keep up the brillant work and caring. You are doing a beautiful and amazing thing with your podcast! Be well.
@@DrChatterjeeRangan Scott Jurek, Courtney Dauwalter or Hellah Sidibe would be awesome guests 👍
Thank you for doing this, but would you mind sharing about how did you managed to heal back pain? Thank you, I have the same problem
Wow, what a beautiful conversation, thank you so much Rangan and Helen. As a non-runner I enjoyed it a lot and I learned a lot too. I will go on my daily walks differently now, taking notice of the movement of my body more and taking even more good care of her.
A child falls forward (the unbalanced phase) catches itself in its stability stage and repeats the process in flow to continue moving. The simplest way of understanding movement is that it is a balancing and unbalancing act utilising gravity. Posture is the bodies alignment to best balance and unbalance from. We have many postures but our primary movement pattern (posture) is gait, walking, running and sprinting. The different gears Helen talks about. Yes we squat, we lunge, we throw etc but we are most efficient at gait. We all have different posture (size and weight) but the common denominator is gravity. The people we stand up in awe to are the people who dance on this very fine line of balance and unbalance. Usain Bolt for example is the number one person in short distance running to be the most unbalanced whilst still keeping running posture over 100-200m. A child most probably dances this line even more as we hold out our arms in both awe and anticipating of a fall from posture.. the beauty in movement is the skill of utilising gravity. Forces increase and decrease and therefore your posture awareness (skill) is about utilising shorter and longer levers in your posture. The body naturally has this skill and it is about you and skilled observant coaches who can excel this skill. Thus on this journey injury will be a thing of the past and the joy of movement a liberation for the soul as you immerse yourself in its beauty in any movement that you pursue. Thus movement skill is your goal. Enjoy.
Thanks Rangan and Helen, for this! Quite insightful indeed. You mentioned there is a location in Germany where DORIS is available to the public. Do you or anyone else knows which institution in Germany offers a DORIS or DORIS-like analysis? I'd be eternally grateful for a tiny hint as I would love to have such a session to improve my running performance and to make it a bit less of a painful experience. Many thanks again!🙏
Dr chatterjee, kitchen platform early morning streches helps the hamstring also lunges
Sharing , if it can help us all 💖
How do you overcome obliterated big toe joints (after years of dance, walking and running) in order to run again? Arthritic pain is still present despite head position and plenty of movement therapy
Aside from the book, who are the professionals we can reach out to? Glad for you, but could really use help myself. Gave up jogging after about 3 really near face plants.
Hi Marjorie - that is a great question. I would recommend you start with Helen's videos as they will help you get a better understanding of your own body: www.helen-hall.co.uk/product/the-pfm-wujwum-series/ - I hope that helps, Rangan
Well done guys 👍
So much insight to even start to comment
#shutupandprocessmode
Great hashtag 😂🙌
What is the benefit of running over walking swiftly ?
Interesting. I just listened to another podcast where the guy (I don't remember his profession, but he seemed to have quite a lot of knowledge about the subject) had the opposite opinion. He said that we were not supposed to run and that running was bad for you... Well, I am certainly no expert on the subject of running, that's for sure! I think that it must be nice to be able to run, as an exercise form.
I can't find anything on "foot Wiping" I have tried it based on the minimal description. It feels great but do not know if I am doing it correctly.
running a marathon in barefoot shoes is mental
Many people do it!
❤️❤️❤️
Can you tell us this one thing to do each day to improve our health? Or what time in the video to skip to instead of having to listen to 2 hours about running.
Unless this one thing is running then we already knew that already!
Lol. I think that one thing is running 😀
The 2 hours is well worth the investment and is much more than just about running.
Dr , Chatterjee , my experience is running changes the way you think , because you feel life in you and the best part is you feel you can still run
It gives you immense Confidence
seldom we all ae scared of running ..
Human beings were born to run away from ALL challenges
I need advice for managing/ treating adhd.The.medications taken for anxiety and opposition behaviour has lead to reduced hunger.She is 11 years and tested with hypothyroidism.
Get on keto diet.
Dr Rangan I would love for you to put up sound bites with gems. Your videos are interesting but too long for me and I dare say others too. Just a thought not a criticism. You may be too busy so I understand if that is not an option.
Thanks a lot for this great info! One question, what about carrying your phone in a waist band while running? would it be better than carrying it on your thigh? Thanks a lot! 🙏🤩
I would say ‘not better or worse’, just a good place if it’s comfortable. Some waist bands can be a bit bouncy if your phone is on the large side so the key is to be ‘unaware’ of its load, wherever you decide to position it.
@@helenhall7136 Thanks so much Helen ❤💕🤩
This is why I still highly recommend getting yourself a Peloton bike. I am now 296 workouts in, no injuries for myself or my girlfriend. I'll have had my bike for 18 months now. I wouldn't mind a rowing machine next.
Why NOT try cycling? Plus the British weather is terrible. Get yourself the bike Dr.
I think cycling can be great, for sure. One of the main points of this conversation was that running has been my teacher - it has shown me where I have imbalances that I need to work on. Rather than seeing it as something to avoid, with Helen's guidance, it has helped me understand my body better. Glad to hear you are enjoying cycling so much!
*"The person who wins, is the person who wants it the most."*
This changed my life.
Please tell me how to get back to where I was after zero exercise even moving out of the bed for 6 years. You need race sex age?
children run in short bursts to mimic running from predators. Adults try run long distances and this is not natural. Surely walking long distances interposed with short bursts of running is the way to go?
So is this why I get a huge headache after every fun 5k run, every single time?!
In reality swimming is shown to be superior to running and peddling bike. I wrecked my knees running so now all I can do is swim. But there are not enough pools in the world to allow all humans to get their aerobics by swimming. SADLY, all this talk is wasted effort because be it swimming running or even a regular walking regimen is a LUXURY for the wealthy. The poor simply dont have time and the energy after their never ending commute to and back from the work to even think about any fitness routine. THEY HAVE NO TIME. REALLY.
Walking is probably better for the joints especially when you get older. Btw this video could be more efficient if the hyperbole was edited down. Even with your shoes on zzzzzzzzzzzzz
I can’t be bothered watching this for two whole hours someone just give me the gist please….PLEEEEEEEASE!!!
“can’t be bothered” is probably your philosophy in life with an expectation that others will spoon feed you with bite sized morsels. Get real!
Who cares?
