PhysioSTRIDE is a system of analyzing and improving gait, posture and breath to help alleviate pain, heal injuries, build strength and improve balance.*Ideally this workshop is done barefoot, but if for a medical or physical reason you need to wear shoes, you're welcome to.

How we move in our every day lives determines our muscular and joint health. Each time we walk, sit, stand or exercise makes us stronger or weaker, and more or less balanced. In PhysioSTRIDE, we examine how we move, from the ground up, starting with our feet, moving through the legs and hips, the back, shoulders and neck to improve posture, alignment and function of the body. By learning about our physical habits and making improvements to these habits, we can make our body stronger, more efficient, more flexible and more effective at healing injuries. 

The PhysioSTRIDE system of analyzing how we walk, stand and sit has numerous physical benefits from healing plantar fasciitis and back pain, to helping prevent falls in older adults. Individuals with chronic pain and mobility issues including scoliosis, knock knee, orthopedic surgeries of all kinds, osteoporosis, arthritis and more, have benefited from the results of PhysioSTRIDE. 

The PhysioSTRIDE workshop is a great group introduction to this system and the main principles of this work. We’ll practice walking and you’ll be given specific take home exercises in order to infiltrate new habits and a more balanced body. PhysioSTRIDE is suitable for all ages and physical abilities.
