Most people think that to be able to walk more with less pain, they have to exercise for hours every day on fancy equipment or have a ‘no pain, no gain’ attitude to movement, but the truth is: you need to remind your brain that there are other movement options besides the current ones! 

Over time, your brain has developed a feeling of safety in certain movements - for example, straightening your ankle during the push-off movement of walking. Your brain may have been keeping the ankle bent during walking for so long that it’s forgotten that there’s another option.

But if you try that ankle extension, for example, without first giving your brain more sensory information to make it feel safe during the movement, then your brain will say “No thank you” and not integrate that movement into your daily life.

If you can’t use your feet and ankles to their full ability then your hips (which get their information from your feet and ankles!) also can’t make good movement responses which increases hip and back pain.

And if you don’t improve your brain’s and body’s movement options for walking, then unfortunately you run the risk of not being able to increase or maintain your hip stability and strength so that you can continue walking as you get older.

If the new movement (for example: bending your ankle a certain way) does not feel safe because of a lack of stability or strength or proprioception then your brain will simply choose the old way and damn the consequences (discomfort! pain!)

Fortunately, although we can’t change the brain’s previous experience, we CAN increase our brain’s feeling of safety around movement using a specific method.

What does safety for our brain mean though? Well, our brain gets its information from the environment - ie. our senses: sound, touch, smell, taste, sight - and then makes a decision about movement (motor output) based on that sensory input.

If we can improve the sensory input for a movement so that your brain recognizes that the movement is safe, then your brain will be more inclined to use that movement in the future.

For instance, if you’re walking and a thick fog descends so you can’t see anything in front of you, how do you feel? A bit anxious maybe, right? You may have to stop walking or at least slow down a lot. Without good sensory input from your eyes, your brain can’t make movement choices.

Now what most people don’t realize is that our visual system is not always giving good information to our brain - maybe we have cataracts or we look at the ground a lot because we’re scared of falling.

The brain is not getting really good input to help it feel safe to move in these cases, so it will rely mostly on previous movement experiences. And this could look like smaller steps instead of a full leg extension while walking.

It’s the same with our skin, smell and other senses! If the brain is not getting good input, it won’t feel safe to choose other movement patterns (motor output).

Brain-based movement is the most sustainable way to stabilize your hypermobile hips so that you can walk more with less pain.
