Gait evaluation is a big part of what I do in practice. Why might you ask ? Because other than breathing it is one of the most automated subconscious motor patterns we engage every day. We all move, and how we move can play into how things work. Trust me when I say that most people do not move well and ambulate cleanly. I see it everyday. Many years ago I started The Gait Guys with a brilliant neurologist. It was our mission to dive deeply into the study of how we all move and to share what we found with the rest of the world.
