Hey !

Sometimes things are so obvious that stating them seems silly, but so important that not stating them leaves a serious gap in knowledge.

Our spotlight this week focuses on a detail of the gait cycle that I almost NEVER see stated - and yet it drives everything. Years and years (and years) ago, I did a course with the amazing Gary Gray who loved to simplify all his teaching into the wisdom of Pooh Bear quotes he would make up!

He is truly brilliant!

This quote of his has stuck with me going on nearly 30 years 😱

And in Spotlight 5 with Julie Perfect we take a very considered look at into this gorgeous piece of anatomy - cause if you're not paying attention to it, specifically where it is in each phase of the gait cycle, you may be missing an important piece of the puzzle!!

Go check out spotlight 5 and play along with Julie and I as we get a feel for how the but changes the balance.

And then check out the 5-minute gait analysis video for the fastest comprehensive lecture on gait analysis you'll ever find, including the most important tool you need which is again stating the obvious, but so important to say. So here it is...

The most important tool you need for gait analysis is...

An understanding of normal gait!

I know!!

Who knew??

Which is why you'll also find some fabulous gait videos to refresh your understanding in quick 5 - 8 minute snippets.

(Do they talk about where the but is? You'll have to watch to find out 😉)

Our upcoming Wired Weeklies are going to focus on gait analysis so if you've got some snippets of kids standing and walking, bring them along, or help me analyze mine. Either way, it's going to be such a great way to spend some time together!
