Physical Therapist Shows How To Walk Correctly

[@janethendrickson6705]

Just saying : The work out pants you wear with the stripes really help to show the movements you are demonstrating. Thanks for helping us learn.

[@BobandBrad]

Thank you for the feedback, that helps a lot!

[@BobandBrad]

Having the right shoes can be another important part of walking pain free. If you are looking for a new pair of walking shoes check out this video first kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHS1i3ptn9d8rKs

I love the Bob Blurb! He should contribute some comments that way, if he wants to say anything else that Brad and Mike didn't mention 😊

[@BobandBrad]

Great to hear you guys are liking the blurb!! He does contribute to the information in the videos, as he helps write the info!

Glad to hear you are on the right track :) Thank you for watching

My dad always stressed heel to toe walking and I’ve had hip pain for years. Definitely will try soft walking!! And I’ll add that exercise to my morning routine. Thanks and hope Bob is doing ok

[@markbouvierjr.7446]

Hey, guys, after a serious TBI I struggle from rapid terminal knee extension in my affected leg thst some PTs have called hyperextension, but I'm not actually going beyond full extension, this soft knee method is the way I've found to really make walking more comfortable and effective for me, I'm glad to see you guys talking sbout it. I must be onto something.

[@BobandBrad]

Thank you for sharing! Glad you are working towards recovery! Keep up the great work

[@oilpntr]

I LIVE YOU GUYS. THAT IS WHAT I JUST FIGURED OUT IVE BEEN DOING ALL MY LIFE. I was born Frank Breech - butt first, face down and folded in half. Something happened last august while doing standing split in yoga. Healing that has made me realize it- and you just validated my thinking and how I’ve focused what I don’t do

[@BobandBrad]

Glad to hear it, thank you for watching

[@probablynot1368]

I have come to the conclusion that aging is not graceful, it takes work to stay fit and upright, and it just generally sucks. This channel provides hope and practical demonstrations to help lessen the impact of aging.

I had a stroke, that’s causing me to walk with a locked knee. I’m going to try this. Thanks ❤️

Interesting and I will definitely be aware of walking with softer knees, land in the fore foot and strengthening the glutes with the leg kick exercise. Thank you again for all your advice. 🙏💝

[@nancycy9039]

Could please show a video/clip of someone actually walking in the way you are prescribing here. I find it difficult to conceptualize the actual walk, since heel first is so natural.

[@robertbissett]

This is BS. You are right. Heel first is the natural, normal way to walk. No push off with the rear toes. Pelvis moves forward with the rear leg swinging forward. Minimal effort. Running is a different story.

[@tremondino6465]

thanks my sore hip, knocked knees and foot cramps appreciate this!!!!😅

I loved this video! I am in PT now ps triple arthrodesis and I had to Unlearn my old walk, and Relearn by doing weird walks back and forth. Your video is Great for an additional practice! Thanks you 3 🎉

[@billweber1422]

NOBODY walks with their knee straight, as you posit. have you ever tried that? Virtually everybody walks with their knee slightly bent and a gentle forward tilt from the ankles while landing on their heel and rolling across the midfoot to the toes. That combination absorbs the shock of both walking and running. You guys don't know what you're talking about. You might be the most famous physical therapists on the Internet but you're not the best-informed physical therapts on the Internet.

[@robertbissett]

Agree...

[@rodi2641]

Forefoot walking gait pattern is not a normal gait pattern, heel strike is normal. Forefoot contact in the gait cycle is actually abnormal.

[@nsloane5384]

Hi guys, I am mildly allergic to regular adhesive tape (looks like little red ants crawl around any bandage that’s been adhered to my skin). In subsequent surgeries I always request “paper tape”. I even bought some at The Dollar Tree for my own use at home.

[@BobandBrad]

Glad to hear you have found an alternative! It is a common allergy unfortunately

[@marymacaire7589]

[@annarborthenorris5455]

Would keto tape work? My massage therapist has been trying to get me to see and feel when I lock my knees while walking. I have trouble getting it right and easily fall into bad habits if not keeping my attention on it. I believe your tape trick will do the job. Thank you!! Missing Bob. Very glad you are still here Brad I've built years of trust in you two

[@terrisierra4994]

Can you give us more info on what type of tape we can use once we’ve tried it with the masking tape?

I’ve been limping for 6 years Because I was put on a drug 3 different times for a UTI infection well It caused damage to my Achilles tendons I didn’t know that a bone spur was forming on my left ankle because of the damage and inflammation Both my ankles were so bad I hardly could walk to a room a few steps away , the pain was so bad and still is from my left foot now. I went to doctors that told me to use ice and they would heal Well My right ankle healed up almost back to normal My left didn’t I had a X-ray that shows a spur that’s stabbing my Achilles tendon Now the doctor wants me to have surgery I don’t want surgery Is there anything I can do to walk without pain?

[@diwakarchinnu6459]

Sir thank you🙏

[@DumbraMindaugas96]

Wow. I have been walking incorrectly my whole life. When wearing shoes I always get uneven wear and tear and shortly after holes in the heel area of the sole. Also, have been expierencing knee pain when walking long distances

[@alessandrocicco8190]

I am an overpronator and I think I have the opposite problem, in fact due to the femoral internal rotation I suffer from hypertonicity of the buttocks, I am doing exercises where I try to stiffen the knee in the transition from supination to pronation phase, I don't know if I am doing it right...blessing from italy!!

How much do you need to engage glutes when walking, is it a subtle engagement of the muscles or maximum tightening/clenching?

[@MsGail61]

What was the red line on Brad’s leg? A scar or something drawn for demonstration?

[@goodfriendacres5633]

Do you have anything to say about the "barefoot" shoes? Some ppl say it helps with avoiding heel striking. But are they a bad idea for other reasons? Or does it all just depend on so many factors like what you are doing and where you are walking and how long you take to get used to wearing them?

[@bviva2577]

So not “heel Toe” for balance in PT?
