Matt Hsu's own battle with chronic pain from the age of 16 in his feet, knees, hips, back, shoulders, elbows, forearms, wrists, hands, and head gives him a uniquely thorough understanding of musculoskeletal pain, the ways in which it can undermine an entire life, and the mental and physical hurdles that keep people from getting out of it.

When not filming videos, he's working out in the living room, surfing, learning dance or gymnastics moves, or riding a bike with his son in tow.

ABOUT THIS VIDEO
Walking downstairs requires strong leg muscles and hip muscles. The leg muscles handle lowering you down. The hip muscles, particularly the gluteals, handle the pelvis position. Too weak in any of these muscles, and you’ll find yourself compensating.

Feel the quads mostly on the support leg. Calves will also be working.

Avoid tilting and dropping the whole pelvis/shoulder/torso to reach the step. Think Think of a mostly level pelvis with the legs doing most of the work. If you have weak legs and hips, you’ll end up cheating. So let’s talk about how to build the leg strength to walk downstairs properly.

Build your strength without getting hurt. You’ve got weak thighs and hips. Should you avoid walking up stairs? NO!
