    This is the best channel on the internet. Full of sensible common-sense information for the elderly who want to keep themselves in good shape. The 'adjustments' for those with arthritic knees are truly brilliant. I was over-50 about 30 years ago
    I still teach ballroom dancing, so i need my knees, theyre important. These videos are so so beneficial for me

    I'm 54, have had a long term back injury, have always worried about my back 'going' on me, and had long term issues with my knees (sometimes the pain is intense). However, I've been doing four of Will's exercises, and I can honestly say that the strength and muscle tone in my ankles, calves, legs and lower back is so much more superior than it has been. Hats off to you, Will...you've made me want to get out and about more.

    Hi Will. My wife asked why i like your channel and i said you’re a professional . I’m in my 70’s, taking an oral chemo that causes fatigue. The other side effect is muscle mass loss. I’m committed to improving the situation, just got your book, and am seeing my primary care doc today to see what I can do safely. Your videos are helpful and encouraging and finding them is a good part of my motivation to regain strength overall. Thanks for your help.

    • @HT-Physio
      @HT-Physio  15 дней назад

      Thank you so much for your kind comment, I'm so pleased to hear you're enjoying my channel. I'm sorry to hear about the fatigue and muscle loss you're experiencing, but it's fantastic that you're prioritising action to help mitigate these negative symptoms. It's not always easy to stay motivated, but the results are well and truly worth the hard work. I'm wishing you all the very best!

    I have been doing it with a slightly deflated basketball for years. I only recently tried it with a foam roller out of the blue. I loved the variation ideas and will defo incorporate them.

    Hi Will, I tore the medial Meniscus in my left knee and it could not be repaired in surgery so it was removed. I'm 67 and have a lot of pain in this knee. I also had a stroke in January which affected my right leg. I was a nurse and had very strong legs from being on my feet all day. I just want to regain some strength in my legs but my left knee always stops me as it's so painful. Is there advice in the book to help with this problem? Thank you for your time.

    Hi Will, can you please tell me the diameter and length of the foam roller that you are using? I want to get one on Amazon, but they have all different sizes. I have a deep tissue foam roller. Is that the same thing or do I need to buy a different one?

    Love this thank you. Do you have any tips for improving heel weight baring for people with drop foot. I have managed to improve the dorsiflexion through years of exercises (foot drop from lower spinal disc prolapse that damaged the nerve late 2020) but I cannot bare any wight on the heel which slaps straight down when any weight is planted on it. Thanks for these great videos.

    Haven’t tried this yet just watched. I guess one comment I might make as an old 71 year old is when putting your heels say two feet from the wall is there a danger of your feet slipping out from under you and you slamming down on your butt which could be very bad?
