Walking is Falling

Walking is a nervous system response to falling. It’s way less active than we make it. A body in the flow of gravity is constantly falling through space and being caught repeatedly by the firing of the psoas muscle with every step. It is a beautiful dance that occurs deep in the core of a healthy body. As the body pushes off of the big toe to complete the footfall the brain registers that you are about to fall forward and basically tells the psoas to catch you.
