How to Walk-Use The Lower Abs to Prevent Knee Pain #shorts

Use the Lower Abs to Prevent Knee Pain. The lower abs help tuck the pelvis to keep it level. The lower abs rotate the lumbar spine and pelvis in the direction of the standing leg after we place the heel on the ground. This helps to line the center of gravity up over the leg when done properly. This helps keep the knee and ankle aligned, preventing wear and tear. We activate the lower abs on only one side at a time. We activate it on the side of the leg that is taking the weight and at the same time we deactivate it on the side of the leg that is about to swing. Proper use of the lower abs in this way is essential to healthy walking technique and any other activity we do when standing up. It is key for Tai Chi practice and dancing. This will also help prevent the arch from collapsing, which can result in flat feet, plantar fasciitis, posterior tibial tendonitis, bunions, and hammertoes.
