Dr. Amy Novotny founded the PABR® Institute with the mission to provide pain, stress and anxiety relief to those who seek a naturalistic form of treatment when other treatment methods have fallen short. Her unique approach comes from her experience treating in a variety of settings and with a wide range of patient populations over the past 10 years. Her background in orthopedics, sports, geriatrics, balance disorders, nerve injuries, and most recently, chronic pain; and influences from coursework at the Postural Restoration Institute gave her the foundation to develop this treatment method to address a wide variety of painful and restrictive conditions. She customizes all treatment plans to the individual to help them achieve their goals, whether it is to pick up a child, get through a work day pain free or play a sport. She co-authored two #1 Best-Selling books Don’t Quit: Stories of Persistence, Courage and Faith and Success Habits of Super Achievers, which share her journey on how and why she developed the PABR® Method. Her ability to speak French and Spanish has allowed her to communicate with and help various clients from all around the world, including France, Mexico, Central America and South America.

Your advice is like gold to me! I'm thrilled to have discovered your channel. It's exactly what I've been searching for. I've been experiencing knee pain and was in need of a CZcams video that explains how to engage the glute muscles while walking.
Aww. You're welcome! I'm so glad you found my channel. I hope you can implement some of the tips to help you out!
Doc this is a very insightful and simply superlative video thank you
Thank you for the kind feedback. Growing up, we don't have to think about these things but as we get older and fall into habits that don't serve us, we have to relearn how to use our bodies.
@@DrAmyNovotny well Doc your damn right again again. Personally my fat old ass with scares than Frankenstein and a litany of broken bones severed tendons and very porn postural movements you couldn't be any more correct. Thank you for your laudable comments and great body of works
@@davelane4055 Lol. Thanks Dave! Keep watching and learning

You're welcome Dave!
Ty boss
You're welcome @catedoge3206. I hope this video helped!
Are you saying that one should squeeze the glutes in the leg which is about to come forward, while walking?
Thanks for asking. You should feel the lower glutes contract in the leg right before it swings forward when walking.
Does this mean we should take a wider stance during walking
Not at all. Too many people have too wide of a stance. You want to sense your inner thigh muscles, the adductors, working. They are critical to the stability of your pelvis and so you don't rely too much on your low back muscles to help you walk.
Ur amazing love you for this
Thanks! I'm glad this was helpful to you!
@DrAmyNovotny this was golden God bless you!
@@selfruqyaguide Thanks! :-)
@@DrAmyNovotny and ur beautiful! God bless
@@selfruqyaguide Thank you
Ditch them shoes. Ditch the heel walk and instead of lifting onto heels in front of body mass push and pull through the ground behind you and the glutes work properly and your foot will land on its own under the mass not infront on a heel… this is incorrect and shoes created this!
Now do it and feel your glutes feel your core you will use it all properly
Thanks for your input Matthew. The heels help people activate their hamstrings to stabilize the pelvis. Yes, we want to push from behind to get the hamstrings and lower glutes to swing the leg forward.
