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 !

Nov 23, 2013

Podcast 46 is live ! We have a great for you show today ! We talk about the new procedure Regenokine, PCP thearpy, the new generation of slow running children, posture, compensation patterns, pre-race Tylenol effects/dangers, tibialis posterior tendonitis, shoe selection and so much more !  If you have not listened to one of our podcasts, this one will surely give you a good taste of what you are missing !

Neuroscience Pieces:
1.  Future of computing

2. We have been talking about body part replacements like bionics etc......but this could be the stone in the road to this progress

the most primitive organisms could put a halt to all the brilliance of mans technological advances

REGENOKINE: THE UNPROVEN TREATMENT THAT PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES ARE FLYING TO GERMANY FOR

5 Gait Factoid, posture matters
This week you did another post on running faster and about  "lifting the head to engage extensors"......  here was an article in the news on posture
- can you give the listeners a neat neuro tidbit on posture and the brain ?
6. Ivo: What is your take on leaving obvious problems and compensations alone or fixing them ?

 9. from a blog reader:
Hello Gait Guys,
What would you look to do with a 20 year-old competitive 5k runner (me) with chronic posterior tibialis problems?
- a short background: surgery two years ago on left talo-navicular joint osteochondral defect, since then mileage has been extremely limited (now it begins to fatigue painfully on 30 minute runs). 
Both sides affected, or sometimes one or the other. Arch of right foot got so painful last summer I was on crutches and could not walk/stand without supportive shoes. Currently the left side is most troubling and I can see no pattern!
Many thanks for the fantastic blog
Joy

  • I thought I'd go the experts on this one. I just took a myofacsical release class and the instructor said the most efficient running gait is by using your psoas. So, forward lean until you are about to fall forward and then contract psoas to lift the leg just enough to catch up with the body. He said this is how all the Kenyans run... makes sense kind of.. but???
