The missing twist: How rotation changes the way you walk.
You’ve started to explore the twist your body needs with the three movements in your free video. Now let’s put that missing piece back into walking.
Rotation isn’t just another movement to practise. It’s part of what should happen naturally through your body with every step you take. No rotation, and your body has to find another way to get you through a stride.
See why a stride needs rotation
Understand where the twist belongs in walking and why it matters with every step.
Spot what compensates
See what your body may start overusing when rotation is missing.
Feel it in your own body
Put the theory into practice with a guided Twist and Turn movement session.
No rotation? Your body still has to find a way to get you from one step to the next.
When the twist is missing, your body doesn’t simply stop walking. It borrows more heavily from the other movements available to it.
That can make walking shorter, stiffer and more effortful, while your hips, knees, feet or lower back end up doing more work than they should.
This focused piece from my full Walking Well course shows you why rotation is part of taking a stride — and what your body may be doing instead when it is missing.
The freebie showed you the piece of the puzzle.
This special offer shows you exactly where that piece fits into walking — and then takes you through a movement session so you can feel why the twist matters to a stride.
You’ve found the twist. Now see why your stride needs it.
For £9.95, I’ll show you where rotation fits into walking, what your body has to do when it’s missing, and then take you through the movement so you can feel it for yourself.

- Understand how shoulders, ribs, pelvis and legs contribute to it.
- Recognise what your body may do instead when rotation is missing.
- Understand why this overlooked movement can change the feel of the whole walk.

Put the theory into practice with me so you can feel why rotation is needed to take a stride, rather than simply knowing it intellectually.
- Follow along with simple movements that bring the explanation to life.
- Notice where your own twist feels easy, restricted or different from side to side.
- Feel how different parts of your body contribute to the movement.
- Take what you discover back into walking and notice what changes.

A different approach to the things that change walking as we age
I’m Gaile, a human movement teacher with more than 25 years’ experience, specialising in helping people over 50 understand why their body is no longer moving as easily as it once did. I don’t just hand out another set of hip, knee or glute exercises and hope for the best. I look at all the moving parts — feet, knees, hips, pelvis and the way you walk — to find the missing movement or compensation that may be driving the problem. Then I explain what is happening in clear, jargon-free language and teach you how to get your body working together more efficiently again.
Take the missing twist from the free video and learn why your stride needs it.
Walking Well is a much bigger programme, and this is normally taught as one part of that complete approach. I don’t usually sell a single module separately. I’m making an exception here because this particular piece follows your free video perfectly: you’ve found the twist, and now I’ll show you exactly how it fits into walking and help you feel why your stride needs it.
- The Twist in Walking deep-dive teaching
- Twist and Turn guided movement session

You’ve found the piece of the puzzle. For £9.95, see where it belongs in walking, understand why a stride needs it, and feel what changes when your body no longer has to find another way around it.
