How to create proper, dynamic weight distribution over the feet when standing and walking. Joint health is maintained be keeping proper weight distribution over the feet. Weight distribution is affected by posture and walking technique. Variations from proper posture and walking technique can shift the weight distribution too far to the inside or the outside, increasing stress on the joints, leading to early wear and tear. Weight distribution can also be too far forward or backward. People who have pain under the kneecap (patellofemoral syndrome) often have their weight distribution too far forward, especially when going up stairs. Weight distribution is controlled in the core. In this video I am going to focus on the proper location of weight distribution. If you think you may have an issue, watch the walking technique videos on the channel to help.
