Thank you thank you
The best exercise routine ever
Simple and effective
I do suffer from peripheral neuropathy
Sometimes like knives cutting in, sometimes like burning and intense tingling, sometimes loosing balance when I walk
I take pregabaline 75 Mgrs three times a day
But the pain is still here, wakes me at night
I CANNOT WEAR SHOES AT ALL
No snickers, no sandals, no boots etc etc
I survive with crocs!
I followed your exercises scrupulously and…
I FELT BETTER
THANK YOU WITH ALL MY HEART
That's great to hear and I'm so glad they have helped you.
Do suffer any side effects taking the pregabalin?
Seated toe movements; heal raises; ankle & fist pumps; stand, (stand) 🎉spin & sit with arms crossed at chest; stand and lean forward; stretch back leg muscles with heal extended up while sitting! 👍🏻
Thanks
Surprised to find you have not mentioned chemotherapy as one of the major causes of neuropathy. I have had 8 cycles of chemo which has led to severe neuropathy in my feet. The doctor has prescribed Pregabalin and Gabapentin, but these only block the pain. I do not have pain, so I have stopped using these medicines. It is the numbness that is causing me a lot of problems. However, I have started the exercises recommended by you and I hope this will help. Thanks
You're welcome
Having developed foot neuropathy after chemo 7 years ago, I have tried to just live with it. But as I’ve gotten older, my balance has become an issue so I’m trying to improve. These look like good, easy exercises to do daily.
Cipro and other antibiotics can cause many serious neurological symptoms that may cause death or permanent damage. I had about 20 horrific symptoms. After going off Cipro, most symptoms disappeared gradually except severe feet neuropathy, fingertip neuropathy and eye pressure, eye pain, ultra sensitivity to light.
@@ARVIND88ful My husband was prescribed Gabapentin for on-going pain following chemo. It did reduce most of his pain, but he gradually developed slow and foggy thinking without even recognizing it. When these changes were pointed out to him he decided to wean himself off. Gradually his pain returned but so did his brain! So he's pursuing other methods for pain. I wish you luck friend.
This Is Very Helpful. I've been doing half of you stated here. Learned something more today. Been having neuropathy ataxia issues for 9 months now. I was a strong leader at Amazon working hard & I took the COVID-19 Johnson shot & downhill since. I've stopped driving due to lack of coordination, off balance, weekness esp the legs & feet but for previous years I always had cold feet. But the cold feet for much more worse. Before COVID my feet were cold Nov - March, now cold all the time. Looking forward to full restoration/complete healing, & going back to work. I thank GOD Amazon has short & long-term disability. But with long-term disability have to apply for Social Security. I cried as I filled paperwork out knowing where I came from. These situations shocked me...
Long term exposure to chemicals and it can be caused by some rather nasty diseases I'm 72 and been tested for aids,hepatitis and syphilis twice i started to get a bit offended 😂 but i did grow up in the sixties i suppose, anyway I learned a new word at least idiopathic. I work on core strength and balance and run 3 times a week. Exercise is the best thing for me. Good luck
Awesome, well done!
I have ideopathic neuropathy and I find that more vigorous exercise in the evening helps a lot. I walk uphill on a treadmill at a fast pace or use an exercise bike. This helps tremendously with sleep since symptoms tend to be worse at night.
Well done!
My neuropathy is caused by injury and arthritis in the spine….now with spinal stenosis in 4 places, the worst being between L5 and S1. I am now 88. I am intolerant of pharmaceutical pain killers, so I take CBD oil twice a day, a high dose, which is a great help as an anti-inflammatory. Some great exercises, thank you.
You're welcome
How well does CBD Oil (in addition to exercises) help with pain with pins, needles and numbness?
I had a brain hemorrhage (stroke) almost a year ago. I also have a history of PN in both leg’s. My pain was controlled with gab and tram, however since the brain bleed (on left side of my brain) I am in intense pain only on the right side of my body and not my left.
@@susandas1326 Everyone is different; I tried it, and it helped a bit, but it's far from the wonder drug the internet makes it out to be. Very expensive for what it was also.
I have a 7 level fusion in my Neck i have a family history of disc degen dis. But i was injured while working taking care of severely mentally ill along with developmentally disabled and was generaged to return to work tmrw now this was years ago but when i returned tmrw is when I was really leveled by a self abusive client. 😢i lost my job , my passion ,my future but all and All most importantly i LOST MY HEALTHAND NOW AFTER NECK SURGERY #5. BACK SURGERY. ×3. I NOW NEED A FULL. ACK SURGERY WITH HARDWARE. IN MY BACK I AM NOT STILL..... RIGHT FROM THE 12 HR . NECK SURGERY. YIKES SOON TO BE BIONIC😢😮
,
Also hav we all of the PERIPHERAL SYMPTOMS HOT & COLD CANT TELL TILL WAY HOT OR COLD SO.....COLD. PAIN AND LOCKIING UP FROM., IMPINGEMENT. IS THAT EVEN A WORD😂 ?????😮😢❤
This is one of the greatest exercise videos I have seen. My hat is off to you!
Wow, thank you!
I am diagnosed with peripheral neurology, they say my sensor & motor senses are badly damaged. Thank you much appreciated ❤
You are so welcome
I'm 76 and had two full chemo treatments for follicular Lymphoma in 2002 and in 2005 the latter with heavy chemo which caused the neuropathy (probably vincristine was the agent that did the damage). I have been a racing cyclist doing time trials for most of my life from the age of 14 and have ridden since 3 yrs of age. I can only walk a short distance before my feet give me a lot of pain yet I can ride in rigid soled cycling shoes with very little discomfort. I have discovered many of the exercises in the video for myself over the years and they really do help. I can't understand why they aren't a recommended treatment as I was unable to get on with the drugs I was given to help with the pain and no other treatment was suggested. I am still fit in all other respects and cycle as much as I can in decent weather. I use a static turbo trainer through the winter months when I can't ride outdoors, though I prefer to ride the bike whenever I can as I find the trainer so incredibly boring! I have got over 10k miles in each year for the last 3 yrs and manage to keep my weight around 11 1/2 stone and my body fat level low. The foot flexing exercises are particularly useful for keeping my feet from seizing up and the toe wriggling is very good for stopping those sharp stinging pains which sometimes occur during the night as they can be done without getting up and relieve the toe spasms quickly. I have also found that eating fruit vegetables and nuts recommended as part of a diabetic diet is beneficial in preventing cramping in my feet. I have also been told that alpha linaeic acid (A L A) is a good supplement to try and intend to give it a try this year. It would be good if some more research was done on this subject as I am sure many people would benefit from it as I know that most of us with neuropathy appear to have had little guidance on exercise and supplements. Doctors seem far too quick to prescribe things like gabapentin which often have side effects which are as bad or worse than the neuropathy! I hope that more sufferers will benefit from the exercises and have the confidence to keep trying new ideas to help themselves improve their lives and health.
Thank you for sharing your experience as I'm sure this will help others.
ECELLENT INFORMATION!!! Thanks for sharing with us. I will be doing those exercises, and checking out the information on the chart. I've seen most of that info before, but it's a good reminder of items that need to be checked and perhaps addressed as possible causes in order to get to the ROOT of the problem. I've been dealing with PN for a number of years, and it has gotten to the point that my sleep is so interrupted with stinging, burning and numbness that my whole body feels like it is on fire. I'm very sleep deprived, and very weary... I prefer NOT to address the problem with meds like Gabapentin (it turns me into a zombie) and some of the other standard meds which have bad side effects for some people and only mask the pain as they do not get to the root or cure the issue. Hoping the exercises will give me some relief! I know you are doing your best to help us as unfortunately, there apparently has been no actual "Cure" for PN as of yet, just some ways to help alleviate some of the pain, stinging and burning. Oh, BTW, I know that feet and leg cramps can be a problem for those with P Neuropathy. I used to get horrible cramps, especially at night. It also has to do with being deficient in Magnesium. I tried various brands of Magnesium and the ONLY one that REALLY stopped my cramps is Magnesium Citrate powder by Nutricost found on Amazon. It can be mixed into juice or a smoothie. It's a little chalky, but doesn't taste bad. Thanks again for this video! May God Bless you for trying to help people!😊
Thank you, and thanks for sharing your experiences.
I have neuropathy after a chemo session and this video is great ,somethings that i can do. amazing that neither the hospital nor the GP suggested anything to help.
Glad this can help a bit.
These exercises really work. Also , try gently rolling your feet over a tennis ball for a few minutes. A frozen plastic bottle of water works really well. It triggers the hot/cold sensation and seems to reconnect the brain to the nerves.
I like the frozen bottle idea. I used that on my older plantar fasciitis video!
Had lymphoma finished chemo 12/23/23/using r alpha lipoid acid b12 exercise off statins temporarily
just as i was browsing on RUclips i was screaming in pain from my feet and toes and saw the picture of the barbed wire and instant recognition . perfect picture.
Thanks, that might be why it's had over 2 million views!
My fiance did a major break in his foot in last June and I have been his nurse ever since. He has been lucky enough to be able to work at home. He has rubber stretch bands for his physical therapy. He has been done with that for awhile now but still does his morning exercises to remove pain for the day before he goes to work that he finally got to go back to. I think it would be a great and better idea if he would do his exercises bare foot . I'm always barefoot on a mat. He has a bolt and 9 pins in his foot. He still ices if needed.
Thanks for sharing this and I hope he improves.
Thank you. I already had severe neuropathy and they have gotten much worse since beginning chemotherapy. I really like the exercise with one leg out and one hand out. It does seem to help.
Great
I have a rare case the Neurologist findings is Sensi motor polyneuropathy now im in wheelchair there is possible me to walk again thank you and God bless ♥️🙏
I'm sorry, I am not a doctor and cannot answer this question. I hope you can find something on my channel that helps you though.
I am a 77 year old woman and have neuropathy in my left foot after I broke my distal femur in a fall last June (8 months ago at this time). I do take GABAPentin and Meloxicam but am still in pain. The pain increases if I ride in a car. I will try these exercises. Thank you for the video.
You're very welcome
Wow. Those 6 exercises really helped. Especially the leaning exercise. I started to get sensation and feeling back almost immediately. Also rolled the tennis ball and a frozen plastic water bottle. Thanks so much!!!
Brilliant, that's great to hear it has helped you.
Great thanks for reading
Thanks! I will try this. What attracts me is the simplicity and short amount of time involved.
Thank you
Great exercises. Thank you. Recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I started walking to aim for 10000 steps per day, which led me to resume swimming = balance & general health improvement almost immediately. Love that these exercises concentrate on foot/hand care-exactly what i was searching for.
Great, glad it has helped you
Can I ask did you get medication for you recent diabetes 2 diagnosis? Thank you
I got very bad both foot pain I can’t walk worse after walk for ten minute
Did blood test for diabetes get my result tomorrow I hope is not that as I don’t have the usually diabetes symptoms such excesses thirst or urinated. An X-ray fews years ago show severe arthritis and fasciitis try cortisone injection no help
This video did show good exercise I will do them
Cheers
I was diagnosed with PN in 2016 after taking a medicine called Isoniazid to treat latent TB before starting a biologic infusion. Unfortunately, it was a side effect of the medicine. In 90% of the cases, it was supposed to go away after stopping the meds. Mine didn't and I've suffered with it since. I tried homeopathic rubs and medical marijuana and the burning sensation got so bad I used gabapentin until it stopped working. Now I'm on 200 mg of Lyrica which helps some but not completely. I'm excited to try these exercises and hope they help my balance. I'm 75 and walk 3 miles at least three times a week and my feet do pretty well, but an hour after walking they are burning, my feet are numb in certain places and I get cramping through my arch and toes. Praying these exercises work for me. Thanks for sharing.
Hope this helps
Thank you for the video demo! I had a mild stroke and had to learn to balance and walk again in 2 months. These are some of the same exercises I had to do in the rehab facility, and while simple, they actually worked for me. Thanks for sharing!!! 👍🏼
You're welcome. You may also find some of the videos in this Stroke playlist helpful too: ruclips.net/p/PLf9i8qFtMBBJzb4utheln_O67fTLlr-IW

Long COVID from robust immunity from being overvaxxed bad batches.
Thank you. I have idiopathic neuropathy (not easy to spell) and your exercise tips, as well as the calming way in which you deliver them, is very helpful. Please keep up the good work.
That's great, thank you
Don’t worry about the spelling because I think the root of the word is idiot.

🦶 Just had my weekly foot reflexology tdy--tunes up my body metabolism, sound sleep, etc 👍❣
Wonderful!
Thanks so much!!! You are a good man!!! GOD Bless You and Your Family!!!
That's very kind of you, thank you
Keep moving!
There are so many unknown reasons for SFN. Many people get a diagnosis of idiopathic small fiber neuropathy. Sometimes first being dismissed as "in your head". There is a test called a punch skin biopsy that can show it's really happening. Unfortunately the first treatment is Gabapentin or Lyrica. For many people, both can be very addictive and difficult to stop. If it helps you, it helps you. For others, certain opioids can help.
Thanks for the comment
Thank you for sharing this. I began suffering with neuropathy this year 2024 after chemotherapy and radiation in 2022. I will update after one week of continuous use.
Hope it helps
I never had this until late. I have a wonderful clinic here in my hometown in Canada. I had never heard of the word chiropody and only used orthotics when I was a young lad. These exercises are well known to me, they are also part of the rehab program. The issue with my feels in the feet is that I do not feel how deep I press on the gaspedal (good excuse for the officer - not!!). It also caused me to longer feel if I bumped my foot into something, and even caused me to not feel cuts until it was too late. My family doctor suggested to seek help and so I ended up at that clinic. I go once every 8 weeks, it is almost like a spa day. They will cut my toenails to a proper length and take care of my heels. All I need to do is show up and put a good cream on my feet, each day. Gabapentin is allowing me to sleep through the night, though I think it might have some side effects, I choose sleep over suffering. I am in a better place with my neuropathy and like Arch Angel also mentioned: Stay off the sugar. It is permanent my doctor told me, so chalk that up to age and a rough life.
That's great that your regularly getting your feet checked. Liked the gas pedal bit 🤣
If pain keeps you awake, try Lidocaine lotion; takes the edge off.
Hello Al, greeting from North York, Ontario. I am 69 this year, and I have similar symptoms. However, I do not have diagnoses yet…. What is yours hometown? Good luck for you , and best wishes!
Hi there! I’m from Canada too, just north of Toronto. Can I ask what clinic you go to for your foot care?
@@melindapizziol I live just south of Toronto (Guelph) and I go to Wilson Health Clinics. They are around here only, there is also a clinic in Cambridge.
Thanks so much. I am excited about doing all of these each day. I was doing each exercise as you had it demonstrated. Wishing I had been given these exercises long ago. It is a blessing to find you.
You are so welcome!
Lovely demonstration of 6 exercises for peripheral neuropathy
You're welcome
I have had PN for 36 years, started when I was 30 years old. It is Small fiber neuropathy effecting my sensory nerves and autonomic nerves, with the heart. These look like good exercises, I will give them a try!
I hope they can help you
I have what is said to be rare, anti mag is a auto immune peripheral neuropathy. Gabapentin works for me now but as my pain increases I keep needing to take more. I realize every body is different. My toes are numb, I can’t spread them apart any longer which is certainly not a necessity but I do fear what is to come in the future. I just came across this channel, thank you so much for your patient kindness.
You're welcome
Gabapentin should never be abruptly discontinued. Please research the long term effects. Gabapentin acts a lot like a Benzodiazepine. You will probably become tolerant rather quickly and develop withdrawal symptoms. Please try other approaches for your neuropathy. It’s such a miserable condition, but becoming physically (not to be confused with psychologically) addicted is a road you probably do not want to go down. The very best to you.
Even I have a condition of the same type with anti mog autoimmune it affected my spinal cord C4 C5 region
How's your condition now?
I’ve been looking for something like this for a few years. I can’t afford physical therapy, so this is very helpful. Thank you.
Great, hope it helps
@@ExerciseForHealth every morning from now on. I could feel the difference after doing it once.✨💙🙏🏽💙✨
@@ariesista i use a tens unit 30 minute im good for 24 hrs a decent tens from cvs or Walgreens
@@michaelwillcutt2619 hi. What does it do? I’ve been hearing about the tens unit .
**C-Nicole** May you be healed completely, and very soon.
Thanks for this. I too had extensive chemo which left me with peripheral neuropathy. I found this yesterday and now I'm trying to remember these exercises to help. Thanks
Great
I got this burning sensation that almost feels like borderline frost-bite about a year after my cancer chemo and radiation treatment stopped. I have worked out my entire life including during cancer treatment and recovery and although I posted about this on my youtube channel, I realized pretty quickly that what works for me is to wake up, take my meds, and immediately do a 30 minute walk on a treadmill or run or really just any movement to get the heart rate up. Once I do this, the pain starts to subside usually before I even get off the treadmill. If it starts to come back during the day, just go get on the treadmill again for about 30 minutes. Some days I might only have to do this once, other days I might have to do it 4 or 5 times but most days twice seems to be the ticket. Hopefully this helps others. I still don't have a permanent solution for "freezing all the time" lol ... but like everything, I take it one day at a time.
Thanks for this comment as your experience will no doubt help others.
@@ExerciseForHealth I'm just glad I found something that was an easy fix and way to manage it because the alternate solution was something like gabapentin to kill the nerve pain and I honestly try to not take medications at all when possible. On a more positive side, I have no excuse to not work out now and a daily reminder even :)
Try the carnivore diet and fasting it has worked wonders for me, carbohydrates makes it worse I can walk miles without pain now
Research it watch doctor Ken berry
I "heard you" when you wrote "freezing all the time."
I have yet to find a reliable solution (other than lying in a warm sunny spot) so have resorted to dressing warmly (especially when sleeping at night) and lying on top of a mattress warming pad. Sometimes I can get away with having the pad set on 1-2 now that the outdoors weather has warmed up, but now that my husband needs the house temperature to be cold for him to sleep him comfortably, sometimes I have it turned up halfway.
I've tried eating more to "stoke" my internal furnace, without success.
@@ajhibbard5538 I found something else out once the seasons changed, it only seems to affect me if the temperature gets below 70 degrees. Bad thing is, 69 degrees is like 0 degrees to me but 70 degrees is like 70 degrees. Craziest thing ever!
Thank's Doc-just found you this morning,many many blessing to u 👏👏👏💕💕💕
Thanks, but I am no doctor 😂
God bless you Richard ❤
Thank you
Thank You so much for this video! I noticed that you have specific exercises among all your videos for many medical conditions. Hopefully this gives many people the message that, no matter their medical condition or age, exercise is an important part of maintaining their health. I was diagnosed 2 years ago with sarcoidosis, which can involve multiple bodily systems.
Yes the aim of this channel is to provide exercise advice to help people manage their health.

You don't know what this video means to me. Thank you so much.
You're most welcome
You got neuropathy how long have you been dealing with it I been dealing with it for like 3 years now
I just came across your cideo and find I'm already doing these. I-ve been doing the toes, heels, raised leg and moving toes, and standing and moving for balance. I walk on my tiptoes to strengthen calves and feet. Thanks very much for your professional support of what I've been doing, and showing a better way. Its almost stopped the night foot pains but i sure need to be careful walking bare footed as I'm unstable. Once i get shoes on, not just slippers, I'm more stable. I find the toes, and heels, and walking on tip toes works best and help my calves.
Awesome, well done
So glad I found your channel. Thank you very much.
You're welcome
Thank you so much for these exercises I'm going to give them a try 😊
You're welcome
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I look forward to trying these exercises and I hope for relief.

Great tips. I can not stand & spin without hitting the floor but I am going to try the sitting down exercises. Glad I found your video.
Glad it helps
Wow, found this at random, & this is exactly my diagnosis, peripheral neuropathy....I'd take this seriously & hopefully this video helps, thanks...it's late right now, can't finish the video at the moment..but will get back to it for more information
Great, hope it helps
This is exactly what I need. Thx
You're welcome
These exercises are excellent, thank you! Personally I use a high-impact hand held massager on a lower setting and then I massage my feet with my hands and fingers on the sensitive pressure points. I also have an old polo ball that I lightly roll my feet on. I believe that a proper diet is the key one that reduces or eliminates inflamation. Drink plenty of water throughout the day and perhaps a blood test, and an allergy test could go along ways plus adding healthy exercise and a decent night's sleep using vitamin D and maybe considering an excellent qualified natural healer and prayer never hurts either. You gotta really want to heal...anyways, those are my two-cents worth. 🙂🙏
Thanks for this insight, it's great to hear how you are managing the symptoms.
Can you tell us what massager you use? My mini thumper only lasted a year. It was 200.00, not cheap should have lasted longer.
I was using a vibration platform for bone health when my neuropathy started.

One known cause of peripheral neuropathy that is not mentioned here and the one I suffer from is exposure to DDT and other insecticides in young age. This was the case for me as I am now 76 and it was also the case for my father who was raised on a farm in the 1930 s and ended up with paralysis of the hands and feet which terminated his careeer as a surgeon. Of course, DDT has now been banned but the after-effects still plague the older generation. Thank you for the exercises; I try everything I can to reduce the symptoms the have affected me for the last 20 years.
OK, yes not every cause is listed, only some of the common ones. Hope the exercises help you.
Thanks Dr for the info . Elderly watching, RSA 7:58
Thank you. I did the exercises and they worked ❤
Great job! Well done
I can no longer walk due to PN. I have had it for 15 yrs and also have Charcot foot. It's awful my life has changed and is pretty much over. Exercise does help.
Hope these do help you
That other possible causes list was much appreciated: subbed.
Great, thank you
Thank you for sharing this valuable advise! Another good one that i do may be called ankle rolls or circles? While in a seated position you extend your legs straight out in front of course, and roll your feet a few times to the right and to the left making circular motions. This may help with the blood circulation in the feet. I also have been doing squatting exercises as well. And a good low carb, low sugar diet with intermittent fasting can also help reduce the inflammation as well.
Thank you for sharing this to help others.

Thank you and appreciate the positive feedback.
Thanks. I had lupus for 20 years but only recently have problems with my feet. Was told that it was probably from Sciatica. I did have compression fracture in my spine in 1995. Lately I have been getting cramps in my feet when I go to bed. I did find an over the counter muscle and cramp relief foam called Theraworx that does help.
I walk everyday about 1-2 miles.
My toes feel like they are asleep. That sensation doesn't go away. I will try your exercises and hopefully get some relief.
Magnesium cured my leg cramps.
I hope the exercises can help you.
Informative, comprehensive, easy to follow and concise video. Thank you.
Glad you think so! Thank you
Many thanks for your information about HAPPY life.
It's my pleasure
Thanks Richard my Neuropathy is caused by Complex Regional Pain Syndrome in my legs. So theses exercises are really useful too me, as already do strength and balance courses.
Great to hear!
Exercises I hadn't seen before for this. Wish I had when I had no feeling in the sole of my feet.
Thanks Wendy
Well done! Many thanks for your suggested exercises. I've had Peripheral Neuropathy for nearly three years and only recently had it "diagnosed." But none of the doctors I've seen had any suggestions for exercises that would diminish symptoms. Their only treatment was meds.
I hope this can help you!
@@ExerciseForHealth how was let's werer
That's interesting. My specialist did not suggest medication - except if pain becomes intolerable. Sensible diet and plenty of low intensity exercise. (walking - swimming - cycling).
Me too the doc never mentioned meds but then I don't get any pain just numb from the knees down but I can feel a light touch temperature is my main concern. I've found running a few times a week really good
@@ppmppm7010 FWIW, since posting here a year ago, I've discovered two over-the-counter remedies that have really made a difference for me. Virtually all of the pain I had when "pointing" my toes or heels with my legs straightened has disappeared, although as best I can determine, not from exercises, other than a daily 45-minute brisk walk. There's no swelling and very little tingling in my feet now, only some numbness in my toes. The OTC remedies are R-Alpha Lipoic Acid and Vitamin K2 MK7. The R version of ALA is very important. The first doctor who recommended trying ALA, advised 30mg/day of the regular version, which had no effect. Afterwords I found two peer-reviewed research studies that recommended the R version at 300mg/day - and that made the difference. The MK7 version of K2 is also very important (as revealed by reputable research), and it should be taken with Vitamin D3. And I experienced more improvement after beginning to take the K2. Good luck with your treatments.

Thank you so much for posting this video. It's very helpful.
Great thanks
Thank you. I've added one more exercise which is to roll the ball across the toes from left to right several times. It feels good plus my toes are responding quite well to it.
Brilliant!

@@stringlocker I understand how upset you are, nothing seems to help me except morphine, which is extremely hard to get, having chronic pain is no longer treated, it is completly ignored! We are ignored by Dr's who follow the CPSO in Canada, it's horrible to be left in constant pain while a doctor tells you opiods don't work/are bad for you, but they offer nothing that does work! I'd rather die from opiods than live in constant pain! Best wishes to you & hope you can find a caring specialist, but they are few & far between.

Thank you for these exercises.
You're welcome
I came accross this video and I followed your instructions. Good for me I tried it snd Im relieved.
That's great
Nice video! I found that circulation is key. I try to do things that are easy to do but I do them at an extended fast pace. When I feel my heart pounding and I feel like I heated up is when I stop the exercise. I do this jusabout an hour before I go to bed to lessen the burning sensation in my feet, it helps a lot. Also, avoid starchy foods and sweets and don't overdo the caffeine.
Thank you, great tips.
If i avoid starchy what can i eat instead of starchy?
@@rukianyange5657 Anything that's healthy that you like. I eat a lot of meat and veggies and some fresh fruit. Watch some of Dr. Berry's videos on Keto diet, he's very good.
Thank you. Just what I needed.
You're welcome
Thank you so much! These exercises work!
You're welcome
Thank you for the demo.of these exercises ,at least I got to know how I can help myself to get better,besides walking & normal stretching .
You're so welcome!
I bet these movements are so beneficial. Thank you.🙌
You're so welcome!
I have this condition and it comes on strong every time I eat sugar, so I have given it up and the condition is so much easier to control now with only little attacks that I ease by massaging my calves and trigger pointing the very tender bits.
I have had a huge attack once that was like walking on barbed wire, it was like all the nerves in my feet were exposed. This was from a medication I was gives to lower my stomach acid. I straight away changed it to another and have not had that severe reaction again. Your exercises are great as I find stretching the back legs and calves make a huge difference as well as stretching the Psoas muscles in the groin.😇
Great!
So nice,I will sure try these as I am having such problem.
All the best
Thank you I do something similar to some of these but will start using these too.
Great
Thank you for the information

Great, glad you like them
Thanks so much, found these routines very effective !
Glad you like them!
Oh, Richard, where were you when I was having horrendous trouble with obvious (yet undiagnosed) PN some years ago? These would have been sooo helpful. I had no idea there even *were* exercises that could help with this! Some of these will still be helpful for me even now, especially for balance, so thank you!
Glad they have helped you now!
Same here....so glad to have found you!! The demos were so helpful and your quiet easy going instructions so appreciated 😊
@@ExerciseForHealth❤
thanks. gonna make this part of my daily routine. btw....i like the tennis ball exercise. i have a family member who is a professional dancer...he does this to keep his feet healthy...but also uses a frozen bottle of water instead of the ball.... it helps.
Frozen bottle of water is a good one!
Thank you for sharing these!
My pleasure!
