      I'm getting ready to watch this video but while I still have it fresh on my mind I wanted to ask you guys a question. I had gastric bypass surgery April 27th 2022 and over the last couple months I'm dealing with back pain. So they told me it's normal if you lose weight really quick your spine is trying to realign itself does that sound right to you guys. And this video I'm sure it's going to be very interesting for me cuz they also said when you lose a lot of weight quickly it changes the way you also walk.

      Where you've gone wrong here is to accept someone's premise that legs lock at the knee during conventional walking. No idea where this concept has come from but it's not true, so doesn't need to be cured.
      If the knee ever locked during walking, the gait would be awkward, haphazard and wobbly.
      The conventional gait - a rolling heel strike - is the natural way of walking. Thus, optimal.
      Just three rules to remember while walking:
      1) Soft knees
      2) Soft feet.
      3) Don't think about it.
      That's all.

    Get Zero Drop shoes. It’s like walking barefoot all the time. Xero and true golf shoes are two of the best I’ve found. I walk on concrete all day and these shoes have changed the way I walk! My balance is so much better and almost never have any pain in my back legs or feet.

      BB have knee videos. FWIW husb’s CBD cream no THC (we’re in Canada) helped painful, swollen knee (and hip) almost overnight. Bromelain and ginger for swelling. Sitting kicks (dangle legs) moves synovial fluid. Build glutes and relax hamstrings to help knees. Castor oil packs help too - info online. Check with MD and or physio if you want to try any of above to be sure it’s safe for you. Edit: Castor oil packs are prob quite safe but try sml bottle and do test patch.

Now ...I am having severe hip pain, been walking extensively for exercise regularly for about 30 years. I am 52. I can't walk on my front toes because I have developed calluses under one foot and it is sooooo painful. My feet are aging faster than me ☺️. And my hips scream at me at night, especially when the air-conditioning is on.

    This is a GREAT suggestion you've given for practicing without shoes! I switched to zero drop shoes years ago after I started getting horrible pain on the top of my feet. Wonderful results and I can go all day without pain, but if I put on regular sneakers or anything dressy or heels, I get that pain back sometimes as quick as 15 minutes. 2022 and I've learned about walking the way you described, but it's certainly easy to forget as I've been walking with a solid heel strike for 50 plus years. Will start some barefoot hard surface practice - definitely reminds me of walking by the pool so I think it will work wonders for my muscle memory! Thanks!!!

  • @vaishnavipamulapati9920

    Just realized that I've been walking wrong my whole life. Can't wait to rectify that and hopefully my right knee won't hurt as bad. Your video on back pain and posture helped me immensely.

    Excellent advice! Walking properly and your shoes are key to eliminate foot knee and back problems. It worked for me a few years back. Changed over to wide toe box minimalist shoes. I had aching feet every night. I thought it was part of aging. Not a happy pup. Stumbled upon zero drop naturally foot shape minimalist shoes….back pain and sore feet gone in 5 days. Works for me. Today that’s all I wear is minimalist shoes for casual, sports and dress. My feet reward me with comfort.

    I am in the process of being evaluated for Vestibular Ataxia as my walking gait and balance are really bad at times. It seems to be getting worse as I get older (I’m in my early 60’s). I have had the symptoms for years and was deaf as a young child, had tubes in my ears through high school as the ear canal would always close up when they were removed. I now have tinnitus in my ears, especially the right ear (I’m a mess! LOL). I always walked with my heal first so I could be more sure-footed but I’ll give this a try over the next day or two and then discuss with my doctor at my next appointment. I’m learning so much from both of you!

    It's been hard to walk bare foot so I put on my shoes.
    I've been yelled at for pounding the floor with my heals. So I wear shoes. Lately I've been doing the soft walk. It's been really hard to walk toes first cuz I loose my balance. 12 days later. I thought in my head I'll walk toes first. It was automatic. I was shocked That really felt great. I have bowed legs at the knees. And sometimes I walk stiff kneed. This show confirmed it that I'm doing it right.
    I also have a roller spiked bar for my bare feet. OH that hurts so good. It really helps my walk to go straight.
    Thanks guys. Great video!!

    God bless you guys! You have NO idea how much this video impacts me. 18 months ago, I started experiencing pain in my left ankle when walking, or anything on my left foot. After some x-rays and an MRI we duscover a ew years back when I hurt my knee it was actually two tears in the meniscus. Now the doc thought my ankle was being affected by that.
    Then the knee started hurting, a lot, and they gave me a scortisone shot. A lot of relief...but the ankle with nothing wrong grew increasingly unstable.
    Shortcut on the story, after a few various falls I wound p with a partially ruptured Achilles, a sprained fibula tendon, another one that was inflamed, and two toes forming hammer toes.
    I'm going to give this a go because even after 10 weeks of PT I'm extremely unsteady and walk horribly. Maybe this, and a new ortho doc, might help!

Since then my Franken Foot prefers to be free of shoes (barefoot) and bed coverings. I am a pharmacy tech and stand a lot during work. I have noticed my gait has changed and have been trying to fix it. In May, I was able to walk pain free during and after the Freedom Trail Walk in Boston, which was a 5 mile trek. I walked a ton in Boston that week. So how you walk really does affect how the rest of the body feels. Thanks for this video guys.

    I just bought 2 cheap pairs of barefoot shoes that look more like normal shoes and loafers (Whitin on Amazon). They are zero drop but come with small flexible insoles. I took them out and love how connected to the ground I feel when I am standing or just walking. It forces me to walk properly (I searched this topic to make sure it was correct, which is what brought me here), and even improves posture because it makes you stand so the weight is distributed across your foot evenly.
    Standing and walking properly become the new default because it is now the most comfortable option available since you don't have the padding to absorb the bad posture or form.
    I have a pair of loafer style barefoot shoes for the house and one set of crosstrainers style for everything else. Amazon has a lot of very cheap options now, it is worth trying out for anyone like me who has been on the fence for a while now about buying a set to try out.

    I find that patients who have had surgery or have anterior knee pain, walk on there forefoot with there knees slightly bent. It tends to cause decreased range of motion and worsening anterior knee pain. I feel that getting the knee in full extension helps with rehab and is also more stable than a flexed knee with patients who have quad weakness. I feel like stretching and strengthening the knee to get full range of motion is more important when the knee needs rehab. That is improved with heel strike first when rehabbing. I really like Bob and Brad and refer patients daily to their videos. Thanks Guys!

    Dear Bob and Brad. I am almost 88 and most of my loved ones have predeceased me. However, one or two of my relatives of similar age seem to be walking quite well. I appear to be the exception. My body is not being cooperative and for the last 12 months has stopped likiing long walks. I am working on a solution.

    I was having right knee pain for a while now specially after running. I tired your recommendation of not rolling the foot from hill to toe. And I was really watching my form to really land on the hill and roll bc that’s how I was taught. But your recommendation really worked after just one run. Thanks a lot for making this videos. It feels weird walking without rolling the foot but I much rather avoid the knee pain.

    Great video
    Fifty years ago I took up fast running
    On one particular run I pounded my heels on concrete against the advice of an observer who was an experienced orthopaedic surgeon
    Fifty years later I am still suffering from chronic plantar fasciitis
    Manageable but still uncomfortable
    Will try zero drop shoes
    Thanks guys

    I just ran an experiment. With ear plugs in my ears, I walked heal to toe. Next, walked toe to heal. The heal to toe reverberated in my ears with a clomp, clomp, clomp sound. Then, toe to heal walked. The sound was like a whisper. By sound alone, you can confirm the difference in how the two methods of walking affects the body. Bob and Brad, you two are marvelous! And, THANKS!!

    I started walking like this, not knowing it was a good thing, when I lived on the 2nd story, to keep noise down. Not that anyone needed to know that. Now, if I could only get my roommate to do the same.

      Agreed. Far easier and good for glutes. I’ll never go back. My Physio who works with an ortho surgeon really liked it. Husb is trying. Some here say it’s not natural or awkward but now heel to toe feels that way. 😂 Cheers

    I'm walking about a mile a day to try to keep from declining any further. After some of these videos, I began paying attention to the pressure on my feet when I walk. Because the heels are thicker than the rest of the soles of my shoes, the heels will touch first. However, I don't really have any weight on either foot until the mid-part of the foot touches down and spreads the weight evenly. I don't have any soreness during or after walking. When I get tired, I sometimes stagger a little bit, but the mechanics of my walk feel fine. I'm glad that I'm pretty close to doing it right because changing my walk would really bother me and take some of the fun out of walking.

    This is the first time I've ever seen anyone say that the way I walk is correct. I have adhd and sensory issues, and have always done what my grandmother called "cat walking," and she would always correct me when she spotted me "on my tippy toes." She and my mother always made sure my shoes would promote the heel-toe stride.
    I've recently discovered that wearing minimalist yoga shoes or a pair of Converse all-stars causes me far less hip and back pain than when I'm wearing "properly supportive" sneakers, and I tend to revert to my natural flat or toe-first gait. I'm also finding that I accidently surprise people when I approach from behind them, as I walk so quietly. 😆
    Oddly I'm wondering if this is why high heeled shoes and boots are sometimes so comfortable? The balance is all over the front of the foot.

    Zero heel raise shoes make walking more natural and easier to land on the forefoot or flat footed. This video is great for advocating barefoot shoes. I've been wearing zero drop for 2 years exclusively.
