@zaccupples: Struggling with Toe Walking? Here’s Why & How to Fix It Toe walking happens when your body shifts too far forward, which can cause tight leg muscles and poor shock absorption when you move. Stretching the calves alone won’t solve the issue—you need to focus on shifting your weight backward. How to improve: 1️⃣ Wall squat: Stand far enough from the wall to keep your heels down. Squat to just above parallel, push your hips back into the wall, and breathe deeply for 60 seconds. 2️⃣ Walk backward or pull a sled: Focus on keeping your feet flat and pointed forward. Do 3 sets of 20 yards. 3️⃣ Reverse lunges: Stay heel-heavy and keep your knee tracking over the middle toe. Aim for 3 sets of 10. These adjustments will help you move more efficiently and eliminate toe walking over time! #physicaltherapists #strengthtraining #coach #movement #heelcontact #mobility #performance
I learned to do it to silence my footsteps as a kid as an adult I haven't been able to switch back to normal but thanks for the advice

Humans aren’t meant to walk on their heels there’s no shock absorption that’s why people get shin splints

I grew up in a house where every footstep could be heard, so I learned to walk stealthily.

Dr. David Antonyan, O.D. :
It’s often from an issue in eye alignment that affects the way you see your space. Hence, your brain changes your posture to balance out the way you see space.

I toe walk cause my heels end up in pain after standing for 10 minutes, mind you I haven't been a toe walked since I was a child, I fixed my posture when I was a kid, but past year or so standing is just painful, so when the pain is too much I toe walk

After therapy and understanding my PTSD diagnosis, I've realized its just my minds way of trying to protect me from abuse throughout my childhood. I'm 6'5 and many friends know me for being to large to be as naturally quiet as I am.

In most cases it's a trauma from childhood. This a habit, because no one will hear you while you walk. The more silent the footsteps of this people- the more strict were the parents. Some people, like me, can move like a ghost even with slippers.

my husband toe walks, he's done it since he could walk. he spent a year in casts and leg braces. but he's now in his 50's but still toe walks. our kids loved to imitate daddy. they thought he must have been a ballerina because he was good at toe walking. I used to notice it but I don't so much anymore 31yrs of marriage I'm used to it.
