Finding Your Stride


A 4-Hour Workshop

Have you ever been in awe of how fluid and effortless a person walks or moves? Most of us train for fitness, yet we don't teach our bodies to move better. When we lack the proper recruitment, initiation, foundation, and pathway, at a minimum, it creates inefficient movement or can lead to wear and tear and acute injuries.

This workshop will uncover the secrets to healthy, effortless walking. Whether you are a seasoned hiker or want to find better comfort in your stride, you will gain a deep understanding of the movement principles at play to produce efficient, smooth strides.

You’ll become acquainted with your historical walking habits and how they may lead to inefficiencies, tension, and discomfort. As the lessons progress, you’ll invoke more integrity, skeletal support, and coordination to move effortlessly in your stride.

We will cover

  • How to avoid collapsing and sheering forces that cause pain
  • How to organize your skeleton for ideal action
  • What is good posture?
  • Heel striking, pronation, supination
  • Is there a “correct” way to walk?
  • Shoes and clothing
  • Movement on uneven terrain
  • Moving up and down stairs/terrain

I know you’ll find something new to appreciate about your stride, and I bet your feet, ankles, knees, hips, and back will thank you afterward for prioritizing your health!

"Movement dysfunction or pain is often caused by learned habits, not by abnormal structures. Improvements come from changing habits of movement and creating new possibilities." Norman Doidge

Key Benefits From This Course

This course is about developing your understanding of how your body works and how to best utilize it. Some of the movement principles that we will explore in great detail include:

  1. Embodied understanding of movement, anatomy, and joints
  2. Redefine what is good posture and knowing how to effectively support yourself without undue tension
  3. Improved awareness, ability to sense distinctions and muscular recruitment to produce movements that are more integrated, lighter, smoother, and easier
  4. Forces travel up and through the spine (not across it).
  5. Evenly distributed and appropriate muscle tone for the specific activity, so that no one place works harder than any other

Hey There! I'm Joe Kelly

There is nothing more gratifying to me than helping my clients get “unstuck” from old habits and patterns of movement that no longer serve them.  I’m an Advanced Certified Structural Medicine Specialist, but most importantly, I’m an educator, coach, and cheerleader to help you get to your goals. I have a keen ability to observe the subtle habitual movement patterns that are inefficient and, if left unchecked, often create tension and pain. By developing awareness of one’s movement habits, we can develop strategies to foster more efficient and elegant movement.

With over a decade of clinical experience and study helping people find optimal alignment, I look forward to sharing with you the principles to a healthier and happier body!
