Definitely trying this. Have so much trouble bending my knees and habit of doing the heel to toe step. I don’t know when I started walking this way but have battled plantar fasciitis for 5 months until it finally got better so maybe during this time I suppose. Thanks Dr Candy, loving your videos.
Ironically, doing the heel to to gait can sometimes cause plantar fasciitis because the first impact point is right on the heel where the plantar fascia attaches.
Rocker bottom shoes can help some people with arthritic toes. They simulate toe extension if you can't get it naturally. Here's one such example: amzn.to/46qIKco
These tips could potentially help, but make sure to check with a healthcare provider in your area about how to integrate them into your overall treatment plan.
if you walk with a stiff knee, you get 1. lots of pain in your lower leg, bc you are walking with your ankles. they do more work than they need to 2. bad kneed. bc a healthy knee needs movement.

Thank you for these tips! I’ll be more aware when with my feet positions while walking.
You're welcome!

Thank you for your time . Much appreciated for trying to help people 😊
You're welcome.
eew the pain in that first tip. I'll work on it. thanks
You're welcome. Just bend your knee as much as you can comfortably in the first tip. There's no benefit to "pushing it" past the point of pain.
this is incredible. I started exercising at 45 years old and now I notice that I was walking/running wrong.
You live and you learn. 😂
if you walk with a stiff knee, you get
1. lots of pain in your lower leg, bc you are walking with your ankles. they do more work than they need to
2. bad kneed. bc a healthy knee needs movement.
Glad it was helpful.
