How to Use the Hips When Walking with Dr. Todd Martin

Описание: This Walking Code video does a deep dive into how to use your hip muscles when you walk. The hips are one of the three elements of your core, which also includes the rotation of the thoracic and lumbar spine. Every movement we do when standing up requires precise coordination of these three elements of the core. This will be the first part of a three video series, looking at the Direction, Root, Power System. The next video will be a deep dive into the lower torso, or lumbar spine rotation. The third video will look at rotation of the upper torso, or thoracic spine.

I refer to the three components of the core as Direction, Root, and Power. The hip muscles provide the power to each movement. The lumbar spine rotation controls rooting of the standing leg to the ground. The thoracic spine rotation contains the intention of the direction of our movement. Learning the Walking Code can help you make each of your movements conscious rather than relying completely on body memory. This can help you move more fluidly, move with confidence, and move without pain.
