Can ChiRunning® & ChiWalking® help with knee, hip or back pain?
If you can walk comfortably for a few blocks, you are ready for the ChiWalking workshop and if you can run the same distance you are ready for ChiRunning. ChiRunning® and ChiWalking® help to eliminate knee problems by eliminating the reason for why they come up in the first place. By teaching you how to prevent over-striding, and heel-strike, ChiRunning and ChiWalking® puts the issue to rest permanently. It can also rid you of shin splints forever by keeping you off your toes. The foundation of ChiRunning® & ChiWalking® is good posture and proper biomechanics, both of which will also help many back problems. Also in ChiRunning® & ChiWalking® you will be strengthening your abdominals, which will relieve contracted lower back muscles. You should always check with a health practitioner before starting an exercise program.
