Gait Feet Correction Points
Gait Testing and
Correction Points
Applied Kinesiology uses muscle assessment
tests as a way to correct imbalances in the structure of the
body. AK Practitioners use muscle corrections (balancing) as a
way to repattern the structure and thus restore
better function.
Intuitive Kinesiology® offers
this simple Gait Correction Technique in many balance segments to help
the body to ground and hold after shifts have taken place. You
can use this anytime you need a lift, extra energy, or feel out of
sorts.
What are Gaits?
Gaits refers to the reflexes in the feet while
walking. Its one of the
many simple procedures we can use on a regular basis. I often correct for ‘gaits’
as it offers better communication in the lower body and allows for
better grounding.
Especially after much structural work this
is a good one.
Movement like walking is meant to have an energizing,
de-stressing and integrating influence on the body. One of the many reasons
involved in tiredness could be our walking gait. This is a disturbance in the
normal co-ordination of the muscles used in walking. The synergistic and antagonistic muscles are
not working in an integrated manner and this is more tiring to your
body. Gaits can also
cause structural imbalance to remain even after adjustment has been
made. If your structural adjustments are not holding your
gaits may be out of balance.
Gait
Correction
1. First assess your energy. Walk around the room. Assess your energy at 0-10,
Ten means you have maximum energy.
2. Rub the gait
reflexes (refer to the diagram). Rub all points and notice
tenderness.
3. Reassess your energy level and note the
improvement.
You may repeat the
correction.
Possible use
Gaits can be needed in situations of tiredness, uneven
shoe-wear, poor co-ordination, brain fog or confusion, dyslexia or
learning problems, anxiety in terms of stepping out, fear of change,
not moving ahead in your life.
Possible causes
Badly fitted shoes, high heels, walking on uneven
surfaces, sports, training on hard surfaces. You may also use
this on yourself after a massage or chiropractic adjustment as
things have 'shifted'.
