How to Walk Properly Fact Check To Lean or not to Lean
Leaning forward to begin walking or climb stairs is something you will see recommended in many YouTube videos, but is this correct technique or not? Join me for the first of 10 Fact Check walking technique videos where I will look at common assertions from walking technique coaches on YouTube and help you figure out for yourself whether the recommendations are helpful or possibly harmful. I will link videos below that make the recommendations I am referring to. I will also link more detailed videos of my own that delve more deeply into each of the subjects.
More lessons will be posted shortly.
Many people find that walking leads to pain, either in the back, hips, knees, or feet. This problems can often be caused directly by poor walking technique. More and more people are recognizing this, and in the absence of widely available walking technique classes, people are coming to YouTube for answers. Unfortunately, there are so many conflicting opinions in these videos, and many completely contradictory to each other, that people are left to their own devices to figure out what to believe and what not to believe.
With my background as a physician, dance instructor, and tai chi practitioner, I have developed a movement system that can help you understand the details of your walking technique. In this first fact check, I will be looking at the claim that we should lean forward "slightly" when we begin to walk and place with the weight directly over the landing foot. The idea is to reduce stress on your joints by avoiding landing heel first. You will also see many videos recommending leaning forward when walking up stairs. These are harmful recommendations that can lead to poor posture and poor walking technique. I will discuss why this is a poor recommendation.
This video of mine goes into detail on how to prevent leaning forward.
