How you move your arms can change how you move your legs

This applies in both directions.
However, in this particular situation, we tried other ways to cue initially like changing the cadence/step rate.
And when trying any cues related to the legs, she would freeze up and get rigid.
However, when we focused on cuing the arms instead, her running felt easier along with the quality (based on metrics we track utilizing the motion sensor belt on her).
Since working together we have went from being injured... to just trying to run a 5k without pain... TO running multiple half marathons without issues.
There is still plenty to address from a biomechanics lens as you will note other things happening, such as limited ability to stabilize on the right hip along with the externally rotated foot on the left side.
However, she has come a long way!
