With an overall combined 45+ years of clinical / medical experience in addition to extensive teaching and lecturing experience heavily weighted in biomechanics, neurology, orthopedics, manual medicine, acupuncture, advanced gait and running knowledge,  Dr. Ivo Waerlop (summitchiroandrehab.com) and Dr. Shawn Allen (doctorallen.co & shawnallen.net) are finally bringing what has long been needed to the information/web age, that being enough knowledge and experience to help clarify the truths and dispel the myths that are abundant on the internet and in seminar halls. We are proud to keep our views and opinions on various products truthful and unbiased for the sake of searching for the facts, uncovering the truth and dispelling myths put upon consumers.

This is one of our favorite things to do, podcast.  Every 2 weeks we gather some important information on breaking developments in neuroscience, research, and clinical practice and we sit down and talk for an hour. This podcast has grown faster than either of us expected. We have listeners in countries all over the world. Last time we checked we were in over 90 countries and in places we did not even think spoke, let alone understood, the english language. It is cool to have listeners in Russia, Tasmania, Israel, Japan, South Korea, Chille, Ireland, UAE, Canada, Mexico, Germany, Argentina, Australia, China and the list goes on. We will never get to many of those countries to lecture but it is exciting to know that the internet has brought our voices that far. All you need to do is "Google" us and you will find all the different places where our podcast has been uploaded.  Search "podcast the gait guys". You can always find us on iTunes and download us to your phone or laptop.  We recently started loading them up to our YOUTUBE Channel and SoundCloud. Our thousands of self-authored articles can always be found on our Facebook, Twitter and TheGaitGuys.com   

Enjoy ! 

-Shawn and Ivo

Human or Robot? Harder to Tell In Latest Bipedal Robot PETMAN Video

In their study published in the American Journal of Physiology: Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology on April 3, 2013, Roberts and Booth put rats in cages with running wheels and measured how much each rat willingly ran on their wheels during a six-day period. They then bred the top 26 runners with each other and bred the 26 rats that ran the least with each other. They repeated this process through 10 generations and found that the line of running rats chose to run 10 times more than the line of “lazy” rats.

5. hunter7979 asked you:

 Hey I have been injured for a long time I was hoping you could give me some insight on how to treat it. Started with ITBS in both knees about two years ago. Somehow my pelvis got thrown out of whack and I ended up with funky gait and scoliosis. I feel like my left leg is shorter, internally rotated and pronating. Supposedly my right leg is actually a tiny bit longer but not enough to make a real difference. Orthotics helped balance out my pelvis but I still walk/run funky. Appreciate it guys

Doing lots of “in the guard” strategizing in jiujitsu last few weeks. Hip flexors are getting punished & inhibiting Glutes and hip extension.

8. Epidemic of Crocs footwear in the fort Meyers airport! No wonder we have so many gait problems. Would like to get @TheGaitGuys opinion!
