Great video series. I just started employing these techniques last week, and i can already feel improvements in my body. My hips and lower back are grateful.
I am hiking a lot lately and been trying to be aware of how I walk. Can not tell you how happy I am to find your videos, breaking everything down in nuances far out of my previous attention. I will try incorporate your advice into my walks, one step at a time, so to speak. Thanks for sharing!
Egwin, thank you ! What a great video for improving ones walking and general health. I'm great-full to you for following up the first two excellent videos with what is the best so far. I look forward with great anticipation for the next. I think Kristina Valdiviezo (in the comment below) IS SPOT ON and echos my comments from the past.
Thank you. I have been doing this exercise and others. Your other videos are good too. the real thing i am struggling with is balance and lower leg pain. I hope something works. How long should I keep doing this? Have a good day.
Thank you Egwin! I was delighted when I discovered your videos. I have been trying to find answers and correct my walking for some time, the correct way, and your videos are helping tremendously. Your thoughtful description is very helpful and useful. I am applying to my daily walks! I look forward to the remaining parts as well as viewing your other videos. My sincerest thank you!! 😁 By the way, where are you from? I just arrived back in the states from an extended holiday in Scandinavia! Thought maybe you were from there...
Hi Kristina! Thank you! I'm happy you find important information in my videos! The next ones will come for sure ;) If there are some specific questions don't hesitate to contact me. Actually I was born and raised in Austria. But currently I try to be abroad as much as possible as my intention is to spread further with my workshops and retreats and become more international. Have a wonderful day and all the best!
One comment the counter rotation cause the Swing leg to incline hip to lessen the foot pressure in the floor and less drive is needed to swing the leg forward. ( aka hip lift)
In regular walking mode there is almost no incline of the hip, but the opening direction is there. The counterrotation mainly stabilizes ones gait which allows for the free leg to swing through with less tension. There is a slight hip tilt in every step... again, almost innoticable, but its there as a movement primer...
Hi! Thank you for your question. There is no one single sorce to the things I teach. It all comes from in depth research, training and advanced education of 30 years, which is how long I study movement and human consciousness by now. Apart from extensive training and reasearch on my own I studied different therapy systems, like manuel therapy, Alexander Technique, Feldenkrais, Shiatsu, Ostheopathy and western medicine. I learned most of the things regarding anatomy at the medical university in Graz which is internationally a very renowned anatomical institue. Some comparative anatomy of vertebrates classes at the institute for biology add on to this. I found trustworthy and accurate biomechanical research to be shared and thaught in ostheopathy and there are many great teachers who have written books and are sharing cutting edge research in their lectures and advanced training courses. All of this intellectual knowledge in my case comes mixed with a lot of experience in different movement styles and the huge but to the mainstream rather unknown field of somatic education, that brought forth many highly effective systems in the past roughly 100 years. Some of them I mentioned above ( Alexander Technique, Feldenkrais, etc. Some other in this are would be the newly emerging science of embodiment, Franklin Method, Canthienica Method, Continuum Method and so on. So in short, as I always made it a priority to learn form high quality sources and if possible the founders of systems, I would consider my sources reliable. Plus over the years I have become a leading body in this field myself and add on to the research through my own experience in working t´with thosands of people and counting. Hope this gives you an insight into the value or quality of the information. Please don't hesitate to contact me again if you have any questions that might not be answered in the videos. Have a great day.
@@beyondsystems-egwinertl Thank You Egwin you explained things more than enough, I appreciate it. My second question is about uneven sides of the body. In fact it's been more than 10 years that I have been playing football and of course I use my dominant (right) foot 75% of time & the left foot (25%). Because of that Not only joints and Skelton but also the muscles in my waist, lower back, and hip have become chronically tight on one side. These tight muscles are tilting my pelvis. As a result I have never felt balance and calmness when I walk. Fortunately after noticing it I have made some plans to counter attack this issue (by playing football with non dominant foot and moving non dominant hand while walking &...) But I hope you make video about this issue to explain things comprehensively so we can benefit from your knowledge. It's clear that almost everyone who plays football or played football have this problem and without noticing it they are driving this distortion into their bodies whenever they walk (with long term degeneration waiting for them). Peace & Love from Afghanistan.❤
pretty much... it really depends on the use of the terms and theri relation to posture, motion or neurology. what counterrotation refers to is basically that the right arm swings to the front while the left foot is in front. To use your words contra lateral: when the left foot is in front the contra lateral arm will swing to the front. Hope this helps. Have a great day!
Again, an excellent explanation and demonstration, Egwin. Thank you for this. I'm looking forward to parts 4,5,and 6.
You are welcome! And thank you! Have a great day!
Agree!!

I've never had back pain but I do notice I dont have the upper shoulder movement like you describe in the video i just swing my arms. Any concern?
My one & only question is: where did you get these information from (specially part 1 and part 2) . are your sources reliable and authentic ?

Counter rotation is that the same as contra lateral
pretty much... it really depends on the use of the terms and theri relation to posture, motion or neurology.
what counterrotation refers to is basically that the right arm swings to the front while the left foot is in front. To use your words contra lateral: when the left foot is in front the contra lateral arm will swing to the front.
Hope this helps.
Have a great day!
thx
you are welcome!
You should really have more subs
for the few of you who got here by doing a google search hoping to find a walking model to use as a reference for an animation, go there 5:22
Can the back ground have more people, behind like in a park at a playground, etc, but it's still okey, loving the nature
cooljavan Tim no way! 🙆♂️
