Walking is one of the most under-rated forms of exercise and we really take for granted how vital maintaining it is to the health of our body. In many ways it is similar to the heart and lungs and something we barely pay attention to until something goes wrong. It is then that we realize just how important it is to look after. Without a doubt walking is one of the most difficult movements to correct or rehabilitate after an accident, injury, or illness for the human gait cycle is such a complex series of movements with many moving parts all occurring within a split second. I am not going to spend too much time talking about how to improve walking in today’s article as we will need about 3000 more words to explain this. Instead, I want to relate this movement to how it can help with back pain and even hip pain which is something I come across a lot. One of the first things I tell many clients I see with back pain is to make “fast walking” a part of their training program for as you are about to see there is some amazing things that happen to your body from this type of movement.
