Physical Therapist Shows How To Walk Correctly Part 2 | Walking Posture and Strategy

Orange County Physical Therapist and Certified Functional Manual Therapist, Dr. Justin Lin expands on his viral "How to Walk Correctly" video by showing another technique to optimize your gait pattern. Grab a dowel and give it a try!

Proper walking helps prevent pain and other chronic injuries. It is recommended that we should walk about 10,000 steps (roughly 3-4 miles) a day to reap the benefits of an active life. With so many steps, it becomes counterproductive to continue with an inefficient walking pattern, which could lead to potential problems down the road. Studies have shown that low back pain, headaches, TMJ, and/or neck problems may possibly stem from poor walking mechanics. Ultimately, becoming aware of the correct walking pattern will lead you closer to a pain-free life!

When you say “push with your glutes and hamstrings” is the hamstring functioning concentrically or eccentrically to help extend the hip? This is something I’ve had confusion about, whether I should be extending the knee with my quads and trying to “pull back” with my glutes and hamstrings. Thank you!

Please can you show where the feet are positioned during a walk. How far apart are they. Should they be in a straight line or hip width apart? I was told to walk in a straight line but now I’m much older I have pain in my knees.

[alexanderstevens]

You look better than some of other practitioners I don't know if genetic or you just more fit and correct posture

[arushithapliyal]

Woah, what kind of preservatives is Dr Lin on?!

[geraldpoidog]

A golf club! Like a long iron😊 works great

[buttsab]

this is the exercise you recommend to improve our walk right ??

[casondrabates]

What about foot strikes? Is it heel, then toe? Or should I land on the ball of my feet?

[akram-szqj]

should we walk in a straight line for foot position for an age like 24?

[alexanderstevens]

What is the correct head posture is it chin tucked as well?
