Walking Better: How To Stop Forward Leaning and Heavy Heel Strike
Learn how to prevent leaning forward with a heavy heel strike when you walk. This is a lesson from The Walking Code Online Course. Leaning forward is a common walking mistake. It usually starts subtly when people are younger and may be felt just like fast walking. It may show up more when walking up stairs and walking uphill. As people get older, and they lose the ability to compensate, the forward leaning becomes more pronounced. This type of gait creates a heavy heel strike. It also misaligns the knee because the weight is not transferred correctly as the forefoot comes down. This can lead to back pain, heel pain, and knee pain.
If you walk this way, you may have a loud walk. You may also wear out the insides of your shoes because your weight distribution will be to the inside of the foot as well as the knee. This type of gait can be corrected by learning how to use the core with the proper rotation. You will learn this in The Walking Code Course.
