How to Walk-3 Steps to Vertical Posture and a Neutral Pelvis
How to Walk Properly-3 Steps to Keeping Vertical Posture and a Neutral Pelvis. In this follow up to my 5 Easy Walking Tips video, I will go more into depth on how to maintain vertical posture and avoid anterior or posterior pelvic tilt when standing and walking. The key to walking properly with vertical posture is in the movement of the core. We have to coordinate the rotation of the upper waist with rotation of the lower waist and the action of the hip joints. There are a fixed number of patterns of core movement that lead to vertical posture. Deviations from these patterns will lead to misalignments of the spine and other joints, like forward leaning, anterior pelvic tilt, posterior pelvic tilt, and duck feet.
Leaning forward from either the spine or the pelvis will lead to a heavy heel strike and increased stress on the joints. This lesson is part of The Walking Code by Dr. Todd Martin. This is a unique analysis of posture and gait based on more than 2 decades of analysis of and practice of Argentine tango and Tai Chi. Both of these movement forms use exactly the same patterns of movement when done correctly. The same patterns of movement can be applied to our daily activities like walking, climbing stairs, and any other activity performed while standing on 2 feet.
Walking with proper posture can prevent back pain, plantar fasciitis, knee pain, and many other common conditions. There are so many chronic pain conditions for which medicine has no long term fix. That is because the cause is poor body mechanics, and doctors and therapists do not have a good system for either analyzing or fixing poor body mechanics. That is why, even though I am a physician, I have learned from my decades as a professional tango dancer and instructor as well as more than a decade of Tai Chi practice. I have used my analysis to create a system of movement that can help anyone to move more fluidly, with more confidence, and with lower impact on the joints.
