Walking Properly

After I saw Sara the Physio last week and she said "I am leaning over when I walk" because I have learned to walk once more using my stick in my left hand whereas traditionally it should be in my right hand...... Anyway s'morning I was practicing walking without my stick and properly putting the weight half and half on both feet. Now it is really difficult to do but practice.... etc.....
So walking, my right leg just goes forward properly etc until that step has finished. Then as I move my left leg I need to aim about 10 degrees to the right with my bodyweight so the left leg comes properly forward. I can do it, my left foot just touches down silently, it is no longer kind of rushing in an unbalanced way.
This is so difficult after learning to walk again in the wrong style and continuing to do so for so long, but practice a few steps at a time, like I used to have to practice walking at all. That has become so easy straightforward (link to show how) so just keep practicing every day
