How To Walk Correctly | Fix Foot Pain Walking or Running

This video will cover how to walk correctly so that you can decrease pain in the foot, achilles, knee or hip while walking and running. I get asked all the time about watching running form. But very few people ask about their walking form. Both can be advantageous to help you if you are dealing with pain! How you walk or run directly impacts the load applied to your tissues and joints. If you want to start experiencing less pain, it about becoming more efficient in how you move and developing more capacity in those tissues. This video discusses how you can be more efficient while walking.

This does make sense but it’s weird that the correct way looks so goofy/irregular

This is the most helpful video on YouTube regarding this annoying ass problem with the foot.

Thanks bro, really appreciate the video

Thanks for the video! I’ve had recurring Achilles tendinitis pain/strain since tweaking it in a (don’t laugh!) dance class a couple months ago. It keeps coming back unfortunately. A few months ago we decided to take a walking vacation which I am now worried that I won’t be able to participate much in. Oh well, life. However I have started using trekking poles which do help with posture/core engagement and started walking like “Poirot”, which does look like the correct walk you demonstrated! The idea is I’m trying to take shorter steps and roll the foot from heel to forefoot to minimize the load. I don’t know if I can do the 80 miles, but hope I can do part of it. Will take a look at more of your rehab videos.

Hmmm I have random pain that occurs behind my knee area 2 moths after a knee injury ( it was swollen after I woke up rapidly, although muscles and tendons were not damaged one MRE)… I do conditional exercises to strengthen my leg generally, but I’m afraid to start running not to make things worse. Hope it will completely go away with time but now it really can appear out of nowhere when I walk. I’m 18 so really don’t wanna have any permanent issues with a knee…

I rarely have any pain anywhere walking and I don't jog/run but want to start a walking program for health. As a child I walked on the sides of my feet and required special shoes with built up lateral edge to force a more normal gait and also had weak ankles that would give out. Most of my adult life I've noticed I unconsciously make sure to point my foot straight to walk so that's not an issue either. However I've run across 2 schools of thought in therapist videos on walking properly, heel strike and pad strike. I'm a heel striker naturally, especially when in a hurry. So which one is correct?

My husband has stiff ankles. He has walked with turned out toes for so long I think his bony structure has changed. He looks super awkward when he tries to walk with toes straight ahead. He has high arches. And is 60 years old. Realistically how much effort should he put into walking with neutral foot position. He would love to jump higher for volleyball and his ankle mobility and turned out feet are a detriment to his goal.

you should acknowledge that GOATA is where you got this idea

Interesting video but the shaky camera at the beginning and end was very distracting.

[www]

its not so much pain (for me there is no pain) than it is my right foot feels like it goes inwards and feels wierd and stuff when wearing boots or trianers with a high heel ... very annoying. I am fixing it though so thanks 👍

[PauPaulito]

Thanks for the video, cheers from France :)

Is it possible that i suddenly started to walk the way everyone find it funny(some say like a gay) and it feels like people are laughing at the way i walk?

What if you have been born with externally rotated tibia and have always walked with an out toe gait?

[tahoeguy]

Interesting that the 2 "poor patterns" you show are walking barefoot, and the one you show that is more "correct" has shoes on... Is there something to the shoe or inside the shoe (orthodic) that is helping to create this motion? Would some kind of orthodic help give someone this gait pattern? Or is it all just "muscular training" to get this gait?

[bobzhou]

Every time after a run the inside of my left foot all the way up to my inner heel feels painful and get super tight like it’s swelling up, while my right foot remains perfectly fine. I thought it was some problem with my hip posture or hamstring. Could incorrect walking posture be the cause of that?

[jomaier]

Nice Video. What about front or mid foot walking? I thought this is the ultimate goal.
