The reason some women start walking ‘like penguins’ after 60: ‘And it doesn’t stop…’
Physiotherapist Dr. Akash Singh highlighted that many women develop a 'penguin-like' waddling gait after 60 due to weak hip muscles, particularly the gluteus medius. This gait can indicate underlying issues, including back pain and increased fall risk. Experts advise that noticeable changes in walking should not be dismissed as normal aging, emphasizing the importance of addressing mobility concerns.
