Just keep slowly increasing your barefoot time. Just like all good things, it takes some time and effort. It's kind of like learning to walk all over again, but properly.

I am basically learning to walk again at age 54. After 15 years of extreme hip pain caused by joint destruction related to Ankylosing Spondylitis, I have now had both hips replaced. A minor set back with a knee issue has now passed and I am finally completely pain free and ready to get back to life. Years of low activity levels and relying on a severe Trendelenburg gait and cane to move around have caused me to develop habits I am finding very hard to break. Watching your videos and learning to walk properly again is a lot harder than I thought, but your scientific explanations really make it easier for me to understand and work towards. Thank you !

My APT was reduced in half after just one day! I've tried to fix it by stretching my hip flexors, doing crunches or working my glutes, but with little to no effect. Yesterday I walked throughout the day like you show and then 25 minutes on a treadmill non stop and I immediately saw the results. My lumbar spine feels way better, instead I feel a lot of tension in abs, hip flexors, lower back, even my ankles, but it feels right if that makes sense. Thank you so much, brother!

Barefoot? it's not effective for people with different leg lengths, I wear a shoe insert for my smaller leg and foot. You would never know it by looking at me, discovered by a chiropractor when my hips and back were hurting. I had noticed it by the way each pant leg fell above my foot it's so helpful I never go without wearing the insert otherwise many alignment issues result. Adding this in case someone might benefit.

@@robin472 I've been there, done that. In my running career of 25 years i have been wearing most supportive shoes, minimalist shoes, been to chiropractors, chiropodists, physios ,had designer made insoles etc. All because of slight pronation on one foot that was causing muscle inbalance in hips and shoulders. You will not be able to connect with your body and correct the core issue until you get rid of all the crutches, like shoes and insoles.

Don't overthink it.. start barefoot (not even barefoot shoes) 1.Hopping in place at a low height(like using jump rope) for 30sec- 1 min for 3 sets 2.Hop at a low height, no more than an 1-2 inches off the ground. 3.How you land in these low hops, is how you can land during your walk, 4. You can practice pushing a (supermarket) cart and focus on slightly lifting the knee, to step, instead of kicking forward.

Of course I would do that in the forest on a trail naturally, but on asphalt or concrete my feet get so little sensory stimulation. Barefoot and with barefoot shoes this is a discovery for meg. I am no longer just transporting my body or my head with my feet, but enjoying the sensory stimulation of my feet and of using my legs. Thank you!

I struggled with chronic pain and opiate addiction for 20 years or so, (I'm 46 now) and the last 15 years or so my anterior pelvic tilt has worsened. By focusing on functional strength training, rather than mainstream general medicine, I've experienced such a fantastic reduction of my pain levels. Whilst obviously well intentioned and essential to health, medicine focuses on the problem where as training addresses the problem, but works on the solution. My G.P never put any real emphasis on training, other than the obvious mood improvements when I train, as opposed to depression and anxiety when I don't train. So many unhappy years of my life could have been different, if someone had said what's best rather than fearing that they'd hurt my feelings. "Whilst you have legitimate pain management concerns, you also have such pronounced pelvic tilt that it makes perfect sense that you're experiencing lower back pain. It's imperative that you train regularly, here's an info sheet on APT and the muscle groups you'll need to focus on" etc? Even be blunt, "You're walking like Donald Duck, you're lower back is being overloaded. You need to train!" I became obese too, but common sense and general knowledge made losing the weight easy. Great videos, Sir. Logical and well articulated. Clear and concise. Thank you. (Regards, from Alex in Australia).

Thank you. This looks to be the answer for where to begin my healing, before even going to physical therapy. I'll give it a try. I figured out myself that I could have a pelvic tilt, because I went to physical therapy 2 yrs ago with no answers. All they di was use a heated plate on the pinch in loeer back until it went numb. The low back still flares up if I lift more than a gallen of water; and this is one video that has some answers for my recovery. I cannot bear weight on left side going up the stairs, yet going down is okay. I've had inflammation in my lower back for a long time, yet only recently had trouble going up the stairs. Last year I recall grabbing the rail just for a little support. But 4 months ago, I changed shoes, and that evening had sudden burning pain in the upper left thigh muscle, then a pinch in the joint right behind the muscle. A couple days later, I could'nt go up the stairs. I was arranging to go see the doctor for some new answers. Thanks so much. I think you just saved me from having a bunch of bills to pay with no answers. ❤

Thank you very much for this video. I live in France where I've seen several osteopaths and chiropractors, to no avail. And most importantly, I've never gotten a diagnosis for the source of my pain. I had noticed the fact that I tended to drag my feet rather than lift them when walking and that I had no strength whatsoever in my knees (and I guess thighs as well). I am very lax so I'd just pick up things by bending all the way down to the floor effortlessly. Now I understand I need to build up the right muscles. I've started doing lots of squats. I hope that's okay. I'm moving abroad soon so I need to get right to it. Will try walking a few kms a day.

After watching your videos I am trying to rotate the hips too and will try with the high knee. However I feel that there is still something wrong in how I am walking. Now my hypothesis is my toes.
