    Hi I realize I do not know your name , however I keep trying these exercises each day and find I am able to stand on my left leg longer than my right , although not quite for the two minutes. I’m not giving up . Remember I’m 90+ years of age , that doesn’t mean I can’t learn. Thank you. LK. from Canada. ❤😊

    I LOVE THE DRAMATISATION OF EACH EXERCISE. IT IS SO PRACTICE-FRIENDLY. IT IS NOT OVERWHELMING. NOR DOES IT SEEM CHALLENGING! U MAKE IT SEEM SIMPLY EASY!
    THANK YOU.

    I saved your video and was excited to show it to my physical therapist. I am 60 and have OA both hips bone on bone with painful advanced muscle atrophy. I am always in pain, the hip ball grinds in the socket and I eat Tylenol and Aleve every day. She said your video was great and she was happy about my interest in doing things to help myself, but that they were not tailored to my condition, could hurt more than help and not to do them. I was disappointed to hear that. I am going to keep the video for future as I get older with balance issues. Thank you

    Hello from L in Canada. I am still working on these exercises, with some improvements, I’m not stopping,as my balance is poor. I’m 90+ years of age so I have a lot of correcting to do.Plus I have scoliosis. I’m pleased to have found this video. Thank you 😊

    I am 71 years old. This last February I had a stroke. I woke up with my right side from my foot to my head numb and tingly. I am having a hard time walking. My right foot might as well not even be attached. And it hurts. The thing that makes me the maddest is I had gotten a new car last June and I can't drive it. Do you have any suggestions?

    Had a stroke a few years ago. Now at 76 I’m still in recovery. Work every day in our large yard. Take my aggressive dog for a tough walk. Squat and do anything that is tough to do. If it is easy to do I make it hard. Everything Hurts but what the hell. I expect to live over a hundred. Find a way to make everything harder no easier.

    These are excellent exercises, more difficult than I anticipated. I do suggest that it is important to be upright and not leaning forward as sometimes shown. My PT had harped at me of the importance of not walking or doing exercises leaning forward. That stance is less balanced and encourages shuffling. It helps to engage core muscles, and when standing, imagine pushing upwards through your head.

    • @nancygaston4095
      @nancygaston4095 5 месяцев назад

      He has a video which addresses how to stop leaning forward when walking : 7 months ago, 3 :18 minutes. SUCH a BRILLIANT PHYSIO ; as a retired rehab nurse of 84 , I don't look at or practice any other .👏👏👏

    I am not happy with the use of cushions on the chair, quite easy for their frail hands to slide off as they push down toppling over sideways or the cushions slide off the chair . May I suggest using an adjustable bath chair, bath stool or even their walker? Love watching your videos and learning even after 45years of nursing, thankyou for making them.

    This is a sensational video. I'm not tech savvy and don't know how to contact you directly. I'm 89 but am in excellent health except my body parts have worn out. Lots of sports and exercised regularly. I just had a knee replacement and the other knee needs replacement. I think my balance issue is due to neuropathy for which they have no cure (I am not diabetic). My biggest balance issue is "elevation change". I don't have the courage of stepping up or down from the street to the sidewalk and vice versa when I have nothing to hold. I use a cane but afraid I will fall taking just a small step of a few inches.

I wish to be able to do many things I’ve always done, to the best of my ability. Thank you so much. ❤😊. LK from Canada 22:47 22:47

She also said I should be doing these exercises at home. I am able to do all of the level 1 and 2 exercised. Do you recommend that I only do level 3 each day, or should I also do level 1 and 2 each day? It is great to have the video to insure that I am doing the exercises correctly. Thanks again!!

    The exercises are great! Actually I found that my balance isn’t as bad as I thought it was! With the sit to stand, as a next step to pushing up with your hands on the chair, I stand with my arms outstretched, rather than folded in front of me. That’s a little easier, and hopefully I’ll soon be able to fold the arms and stand.
