After applying the techniques outlined in Walking, I was able to retrain myself to walk in a way that would reduce my pain dramatically and could increase my ankle's flexibility once again.

Walking:
Nature's Perfect Exercise
In her most recent book, Pamela Kihm presents a thorough discussion of that most common of daily tasks, walking. She presents the reader with a series of "steps" to explore and learn how slight changes to our preconceptions about how we walk can reduce or eliminate much of the pain we consider a normal part of living.
Walking: Nature's Perfect Exercise gives you guidance and exercises to help you walk more efficiently – whether simply crossing the street, going up and down stairs, or hiking trails.
Walking doesn’t any longer have to be an uphill struggle!
Some of the topics covered include:
- How simple postural changes while walking can make a big difference in the comfort and ease of your walking
- How following your skeletal blueprint allows your muscles to cooperate with less effort
- How your shoulder blades can help your legs walk
- How to work with gravity instead of fighting gravity while climbing stairs
- The true job description for your feet specific to walking
- Suggestions for walking with a walker or with a cane
- Advice for hiking with a heavy backpack and/or hiking poles
- How to warm-up and cool-down in ways that enhance walking
- Rainy day substitute exercises for when you don’t want to walk outside or drive to an indoor track or mall
Walking: Nature's Perfect Exercise is available in both printed form and as an instantly downloadable Adobe Acrobat file (.pdf). While most computers already have the free Adobe Reader installed, if needed you can download a copy from this link.
