How you walk can fix your Anterior Pelvic Tilt and Posterior Pelvic Tilt

[@confusio3851]

Best walking tips on the platform. Working with these tips has helped me immensely. Only 2 months in barefoot shoes and I will never go back. My only regret is waiting so long.

[@GrownandHealthy]

Great to hear! I could never go back, also.

[@andybryant8509]

I'm trying it out and it's very tiring. I'm in the first couple of days of trying it. Does your body adjust to be able to do it more easily?

[@confusio3851]

@@andybryant8509 Yes it was very difficult at first. My first walk I was only able to walk for 100 meters, Now I'm up to 2 km already. You should start slowly especially if your on feet a lot. 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.

[@theadimar7908]

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!

Thank you! I appreciate you.

[@csrhodey]

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 !

[@AntonioLiberato08]

Hi! How are you feeling? I would love to connect and talk with you! 39 years old male and have multi level AS, L4-L5 protruding to the left. Having leg and foot issues amongst other issues. Can we chat? It’s been difficult to find help from doctors. Would love advice! Thank you so much!

[@scottscriticalmass]

I've always been a forefoot striker while running, but more of a heal striker when walking. Your guidance has helped me immensely over the past couple months. By following your instructions, I simply feel better overall and that's really all we can ask for in life. Just got to keep it going. Thank you!!

[@Cadence733]

I can't believe how this simple technique has helped me so much. I started doing it and literally felt muscles around my knees, ankles and thighs that I know now I've not been using . You're teaching people to walk properly! 😂

[@terrahillman151]

This was great! I’ve studied my lower back pain for years and knew it had to do with weakness in my hips. You just provided a comprehensive understanding and usable info to change the bad posture/walking deficits that are achievable to overcome. Ty for that!

[@joshuamcmillin7631]

Perfect timing for KZbin to suggest this. Glad to find your channel. Dealing with this recently.

[@thibod07]

I never though there would be so much similarity between walking and running. It is a great idea to develop all the muscles required for running while walking. I enjoy both walking and running but I always though that heel strike while walking was the way to go. Thank you! The care you take to explain the walking movement is well appreciated thank you. Walking the way you explain it make it look very similar to the movement used in the diagonal stride used in classical x-country skiing.

[@GrownandHealthy]

Thanks for watching! Going barefoot has improved many aspects, especially my posture.

[@robin472]

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.

[@e.k9358]

@@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.

[@andrewg2032]

Are you sure your legs are different length? This is actually very rare and there could be something else going on

I thank you greatly

[@poosaypete470]

For more than 20 years I have struggled with back problems. Chiropractic. Exercise. Stretching. I'm in good shape but my back is always sketchy. When I look in the mirror my pelvis tilts forward on top and in on the bottom. THIS IS LIFE CHANGING FOR ME. I walk heel first. God bless you for sharing this!!!!

[@poosaypete470]

Correction: pelvis tilts back at top and forward at bottom. So I have posterior pelvic tilt. Makes my spine flat.

[@gopalsaha5759]

Sir, I will be grateful provided you make a video on speed walking as you have been shown for few seconds regarding discussion on posture of interior and exterior pelvic with back pain. Thanking you for your perfect guidance.

[@gregerswerle6650]

Excellent! All of this will happen naturally in a natural environment. Living a life on concrete and walking on it most of the time the problems with the gait will arise naturally, I guess, as an adaptation. You are an excellent educator in explaining and showing the mechanics of walking for the body. Thank you!

I'm using your tips to walk differently. My heel pain is a reminder that keeps me in check. My posture is changing. What feels challenging is how different this walk feels. Sometimes I laugh at myself. 🙃

[@GrownandHealthy]

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.

[@gregerswerle6650]

@@GrownandHealthy There is an interesting thing for me how I start to touch the ground differently with my feet, like I realize I can be much lighter, more gentle, sort of relating to the ground. 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!

[@BVEE-j3q]

My knee pain has reduced in a couple steps from this. wow what technique

[@australianresoluteminds]

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).

[@mariliacosta1169]

Amazing video! I have been struggling with back pain, this video showed me why.

[@ef5842]

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. ❤

[@ПомогаетСразу]

That is a brilliant video. No stretch excercise will help if you walk wrong for the whole day. I suggest that the length of stride also matter. Short stride is not right.

[@paulblaser4146]

Wow, I think I may have just found one of the main reasons I have had back issues my whole life. Even though I've been to innumerable physiotherapists/chiropractors/doctors etc. and undertaken many training/stretching protocols. I walk a lot for my business as a gardener/mowing contractor and my heel strike is very exaggerated. Every time I try to start running again I end up with a back injury.

[@jeannedusud8756]

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.

[@elenabotoeva3360]

Thank you! You explain really well. I have been using barefoot shoes for the last 5 years and some of things you explain I have managed to figure out on my own, like landing on the hill or inward pronation. 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. I noticed how you activate your toes, they are never completely straight. Maybe that is the reason two of my arches are gone, that I am not using my toes for pushing off the ground? Could you please make a video about that aspect of walking? Thank you!

[@GrownandHealthy]

Sure, I will touch on that. Just think of how you throw a ball, you would incorporate the flexion of your fingers. Especially, ss you exert more force.

[@sutters7251]

As soon as I bought my vivobarefoot shoes I naturally started to land my foot central to forefoot bias. It feels bad landing heel first. I engage my glute on every push forward. With a slight outward twist like a slight corkscrew into the ground it really engages the glute med.
