I blame Nike, they designed (and continue to design…) running shoes with lots of heel cushioning designed to _encourage_ a heel strike running stride. After tearing cartilage in my knee running a marathon I had to re-learn how to run, using a mid-strike stride, and wearing sneakers with zero-drop heels.

[vifs_vestige]

started walking with fore foot step a few years ago, and one thing that made it very clear how much less stress it was putting on the body was noticing every step with earbuds in would thump and be slightly disrupted, where with a forefoot strike that just didn't happen

took a while to be able to build up that strength to always walk that way, but well worth the effort

[alysmarcus]

Thankyou !!! i know about toe gradual walking because i used to dance, but i need that strengthening thing for the glute for sure !! Walking backwards and forwards i was taught in therapy when i ripped tendons in my knee, i found it encouraged focus, alignment and balance.

This explains why my hips hurt when I walk downhill -- you invariably land with a locked straight leg when going downhill. Can you talk a bit about how to avoid that?

[marybuford]

Learning to walk. The rollator helped the most. Walking without it I've noticed old people rock side to side. Don't know why. Normal gate moves forward. No side to side rock. Idk. 🤔 pretty hard.

A problem for me in trying to get on the carpet for the knee and forearm is getting back up again. Maybe do the exercise next to a couch or chair? Or have someone with you to help you get back up?

It isn't a mistake that people are making, walking as they do, it is just the normal way many people walk for one reason or another. It seems we are told everything we do these days is a "mistake" or we are "doing it all wrong" or that everything we learned about it is all wrong! Now, I assume this is a good way to go to alleviate pain and discomfort as mentioned, but it isn't correcting any mistake. We were never handed a rulebook for error free walking.

What kind of table you use? I was looking for something like this with adjustable height. Thanks you.

[ruthsalinas]

What the heck!!! My PT told me exactly the opposite 😩 To make sure I step heel-toe to avoid hurting my knee more. OMG which is it then!!! 😮

They should teach us this stuff in grade school.

[dmc-WakingTheLions]

Interesting. I once had an orthotics speacialist advise me to walk, heel to toe. Could be bc I'm flat foot w Rfoot 3fractured metatarsels long time ago and Lfoot 2 PF ? Thx for the info. cheers

[jobanski]

Is using K-tape on the back of the knee something you can do if you want to strike the ground with a bend while running?

[dagnolia]

barefoot shoes remind you not to heel strike. cushiony shoes ENCOURAGE heel strike. we have all gotten used to cushiony shoes instead of Strengthening our feet. strong feet are better than comfy shoes.

[JethroDodine]

Looks like you are using zero drop shoes, which I hear are best when trying to walk correctly. Care to share the brand? Appears the "marshmallow heel" brands encourage the heel Landing. Keep up the great work guys!!!!

[alexander-malafeev]

Do I understand correctly that one can walk with forefoot strike always? I tried it and it is very slow and my calfs are sore. Will I get used to it?

[angylvi]

Just wondering if it’s possible to buy the heat and cold therapy head separately because I already have the original Q2 mini pro and so it wouldn’t make sense for me to buy another massage gun when mine still works wonderfully. Or is it not compatible? Also, is it bad to just keep tiptoeing around your house or is it helpful in strengthen the muscles and bones in your feet along with your glutes? Thanks in advance!

[annhall]

After my accident that gave me a broken leg, my Physical Therapist told me to put my heel down first. I guess I can try the video way and see which I think is best.

[loripearson]

I find it helps me if I walk like I am marching. This way I lift my entire foot up and less likely to come down in my heel

[teresafinch]

Clarify please...when walking with shorter strides, hitting on the forefront of the foot, does that automatically mean you are firing your glutes? If not, what are you doing to cause them to fire?

[garysutton]

Will this technique help me to race-walk faster? I've been doing more walking, than running, the past few years while participating in 5K's. I do OK in my races but there are folks who amaze me by how much faster they can walk than I can. I'm moving pretty good but they pull away from me as if I were just out for a casual walk rather than a race.
