Movement is a fundamental aspect of human life. From walking and running to more complex activities like dancing or playing sports, the way we move defines our interaction with the world. However, years of poor posture, sedentary habits, injuries, or stress can lead to inefficient movement patterns. These inefficiencies often manifest as pain, stiffness, or a lack of coordination.
Enter movement repatterning: a process of retraining the body to move in more efficient, balanced, and sustainable ways. Whether you’re an athlete looking to improve performance or someone seeking relief from chronic discomfort, movement repatterning can transform the way you live in your body.

Why Walking Biomechanics Are Important
Walking is one of our most functional, primitive movements. This is why it’s a significant milestone in children’s development, not only because it displays a good level of leg strength, balance, and coordination but also because it opens toddlers up to further learning due to their new mobility. In essence, walking is extremely useful and practical. When we lose confidence in our walking, either through pain, injury, or aging, it can affect multiple facets of our daily lives, thereby impacting our mental and physical well-being. Understanding what makes up good walking biomechanics and putting these into practice can help maintain better health and improve recovery from injuries and illnesses.

Starting my career at The Running School in London marked the inception of my dedication to running, both personally and professionally. As I learnt more about efficient running biomechanics and injury prevention, I became committed to refining my own running technique. Over time, I’ve realised that the more I invest in my personal running journey, the better positioned I am to support others in achieving their running objectives. That being said, I would like to share the lessons I learned during my participation in #REDJan – a challenge that entailed running every day throughout January.
