The chance to change the way you walk is the opportunity of a lifetime. Most people take between 5,000-10,000 steps a day and don’t think about any of them. For the most part, how you walk is how you walk. It is simply something that you do.

But reassessing this approach would probably provide a great benefit if you are suffering from lower back pain and a host of other pain issues. Making a conscious attempt to change the way you walk and stand will give you more energy and less pain and discomfort.

You will also develop a support system to allow you to deal with issues as wide ranging as flat feet and muscle tension headaches, and to recover more quickly from the inevitable slings and arrows that life is likely to throw your way.
