Transcript

Original caption

I wish someone had told me 15 years ago that I needed to work on my gait, not just get stronger. I spent years trying to fix chronic pain by strengthening individual muscles, stretching what felt tight, and correcting isolated parts of my posture. What finally changed things was learning how to coordinate my body during walking: how my ribcage and pelvis rotate, how force moves from one side of my body to the other, and how my feet, hips, trunk, and arms work together instead of as separate pieces. Gait training has been one of the biggest pieces of getting me out of chronic pain and helping my body feel more connected. I just wish I had found it sooner. #GaitTraining #ChronicPain #FunctionalPatterns #Fascia #MovementTraining
