Foot Pain
Ankle pain due to accident, trained proper balance
"I attended my first workshop
one week out of a cast from a broken ankle. I could not walk, stand or even sit
for an hour without great pain. I planned to sit on the sideline and listen. I
walked for two hours that day and never knew I was on my feet. I believe the balance
and weight distribution was the key. My recovery soared from that day on. I've
been able to lose 30 pounds."
L.W., retirement center supervisor
Heel pain corrected by reducing overstriding and the impact of heel strike
"I
was able to relieve pain in my heels that I had been experiencing for many years
whenever I walked. I was amazed to discover that how I was walking created the
problem."
R.F., corporate health consultant
Bunion pain corrected by proper pushoff
"The
bunion on my right big toe joint no longer hurts after consciously changing my
walk, using the inside of my right foot properly as well as all the toes to push
off."
S.D., nature photographer
Drop foot, reduced by increasing hip rotation
"Ever since the car accident, I was unable to walk without scuffing the ground.
This new hip twist allows me to plant my foot without scraping."
C.C.,
therapist
Right heel spur, car accidents, remedied by reducing overstriding and the impact of heel strike
"I never realized I step further out and hit harder
on my right foot, and that my left arm pumps much further forward than my right."
D.G., new mother
Knee Pain
Knee pain decreased through corrected alignment
"I have had problems with my knees in
trekking and difficult terrain. After two sessions of Dynamic Walking I was able
to ascend and descend the Tetons (11,000 feet) pain free while carrying a pack.
I had hiked seven miles the day before and 15 miles the day after. Dynamic Walking
is the ambulatory equivalent of flossing."
P.H., avid hiker
Corrected locking of knee in stance and pushoff phase, brought feet parallel
"After having knee pain for several months, one session in corrective walking
helped me to eliminate the pain in one day."
E.B, furniture store owner
Knee pain due to cartilage damage, remedied by reducing impact
"My physician
diagnosed my badly swollen knee as bursitis, arthritis and tendonitis. He implied
that since the body could not replace the cartilage I had worn away, that running
was no longer an option. I was deeply grieved. Dynamic Walking helped me walk
without my knee buckling and collapsing. Eventually I proceeded to the Dynamic
Hiking training and then to Dynamic Running. I'm running regularly without pain.
Thank you so much."
C.A, runner for 15 years
Car accidents, pain reduction included not locking knees when standing
"My right knee, which was the focal point of contact
in three car accidents, hurt so badly that some nights I could not sleep without
prescription pain killers. The Dynamic Walking therapy is retraining my body to
become more efficient in motion and in stillness. I have come to classes in pain
and left euphoric. I have been able to complete 11 mile hikes with no knee pain.
I walk regularly using the method."
B.S., Financial planning
Leg Pain
Hamstring pull, reduction of pain through balanced use of legs
"During my first
marathon I developed a hamstring pull which continued to be a problem in my second
marathon and whenever I walk or hike. The observation walk during my first session
taught me how to re-balance my power in my legs and arms. The pain decreased within
the first 1/2 hour and did not return on subsequent walks or during a 6 mile hike
the two days later."
G.F., marketing consultant
Back and Hip Pain 
Chronic back pain, reduced through improved postural alignment
"Now that
I've learned to move efficiently and naturally improve my posture, I feel wonderful.
The pain has dramatically decreased."
J.W., retired
Chronic low back pain managed by retrained bio-mechanical efficiency, retraining hip flexors
"I am a walking miracle. For
the last thirty years I have never been able to go through the day without pain.
After three private sessions, I have no pain when I walk Dynamically and do my
DBX stretches daily. I had tried everything. This is working. I am back in control
of my life."
T.A, office manager
Hip pain following two hip replacements, severe limp corrected by re balancing strength and training pendulum swing
"I'm
thrilled, It's like suddenly the sun came out. Let there be light."
H.M.,
retired
Chronic back and hip pain decreased by postural improvement.
"I'm standing
and sitting taller. I've learned enough in three months to get back to running
virtually pain free."
D.S., retired S.F. Fire Department Battalion Chief
General Body Pain
Chronic knee and spinal pain reduced by gait and postural training
"For
30 years I had suffered daily pain from old sports related breaks of neck and
back, as well as damage to sacrum and ACL of left knee. To manage the pain required
45 minutes of daily stretching. During the Dynamic Walking Introductory Clinic
the pain went away. In a few months Dynamic Walking retrained my body sufficiently
to be pain free (for the past 5 years).
R.M, professional sailor and
corporate consultant
Overuse injuries remedied by gait and postural training
"Five years of chronic
knee, hip and upper back pain caused by excessive running led me to Dynamic Walking
training. I was so inspired by the method's ability to free myself of pain, I
trained to become an instructor. I am now back to sports participation pain free.
J.H., triathelete, veterinary nurse
