Correct walking for Knee arthritis, Herniated disc, etc.
How To Walk properly? Do you have any idea to prevent knee rrthritis and herniated disc on neck and lower back from occuring?
Diseases that can be caused by incorrect walking include Achilles tendonitis, ankle sprains, knee arthritis, hip pain, herniated disc in the lower back and neck, etc.
If you walk with your weight placed on the outside of the feet, you can easily get sprained ankles, and the inner joints of your knees may hit each other, causing knee arthritis.
Also, if you walk with your head down, it may cause a bulging disc in the lower back and neck.
I’ll show you how to walk correctly to prevent and alleviate related diseases.
1. Order of moving the weight on the foot
With your feet parallel to each other like number 11, move your weight in the order of heel, big toe mound, and toes.
2. Stretching the inguinal region (groin)
Do walking while stretching the inguinal region.
Walk by pushing your body with your back leg, not with your front one.
Don’t pull your body with your front leg.
Pushing the ground with your back leg, stretch out the inguinal region.
It’s also very comfortable when going up the stairs.
Why?
It's because you stretch your groin!
Stretch the groin of your back leg!
When going up on the stairs or to the mountains, push the ground with your back leg.
When going up on the stairs, and pushing the ground with your back leg, the other leg takes a break.
If you walk like that, you can always make one leg rested.
3. Arm movement
I'll just walk. Usually many people walk like this.
Look at my arm movement. The arms go forward a lot, but they don’t go backward much.
That easily makes your shoulder rounded.
Instead of raising your arms forward, pay more attention to the push-back movement.
If you push it backward a lot, the arm can go forward naturally with its elasticity, even if you just leave it.
As a result, the width of the front and back arm motion can be similar.
By pushing your arms back, you can open your chest and take a comfortable breath.
To sum up,
1. Move the weight on the foot in the order of heel, big toe mound, and toes.
2. Push the ground with your back leg to stretch out the groin.
3. For arm motion, pay attention to the movement that pushes the arm back.
Additionally, never bend your neck forward.
