How it works
Increased cadence (step rate) reduces ground reaction force magnitude and loading rate on the tibia. Shifting from heel strike to midfoot strike reduces the bending moment at the distal tibia.
Gait retraining requires a physiotherapist or sports podiatrist with video analysis capability. Increasing cadence by 5–10% is a practical, evidence-based starting point.
Finding a practitioner
Seek a qualified and registered practitioner. In Australia, check AHPRA (ahpra.gov.au) for registered health practitioners including physiotherapists, psychologists, and Chinese medicine practitioners.
