Duck-Feet-The Most Common and Dangerous Problem with Walking

Duck-Feet, the most common and dangerous problem with walking. This video will explain what duck-foot walking is, why it's a problem, what are the mechanics, and how you can fix it. If you observe people walking these days, you will see that a large percentage of them are walking with their feet turned out. This is called duck-foot walking, medically referred to as out-toeing. The problem appears to be growing rapidly. It is a problem because walking with duck-feet creates stress on the arches of the feet, the inside of the knee joints and the hips, and misaligns the spine. The feet and knees are designed to face in the direction they are traveling, not at an angle to it.

Many people assume that they must have been born this way, but that is not the case. Some children do have out-toeing, but they generally outgrow it, or the get assistance from the pediatrician to correct it before adulthood. For most adults who are duck-foot walking, it is simply a bad habit that has been picked up due to lack of awareness and some other issues I discuss in the video. A habit has to start somewhere and it can also stop somewhere once there is awareness of the issue. I will explain what the mechanics of duck-foot walking are since you have to understand what the problem is if you want to fix it. It isn't as simple as just where your feet are pointing. It is caused by the complex relationship between all of your core muscles and the pattern of movement you adopt to move the body forward when walking.

Fixing duck feet will take practice. The videos on my channel can guide you in this practice. I will link some videos here with additional practice information.
