Hi Dr. Tobias, I'm just discovering your tutorials to help my husband with his Spasticity issues. I want to say thank you for providing instructions that I can use to help (or have him do by himself). He's had two strokes that affect his left side and vascular surgery on his left groin area. So now he's experiencing tightness from the surgery and the build up of scar tissue for lack of use along with spasticity. He's exercise 5 days a week that works on his lower leg (some hip movements) and with exercises I think that he'll get better. Thanks you again!
Thank you for sharing your husband's story! Unfortunately surgeries after a stroke (although extremely necessary) do create some issues with stroke recovery. He is lucky to have you to help him. A physical therapist can also help with that scar tissue so hopefully he is still working with one :)
Thank you for being a part of this community and for always leaving such kind words. I am happy to do it and I am so glad this channel has helped you in your recovery! Keep going!
So thankful for these explanations and exercises. Having real progress through your home exercise program!! 💖🙏💖 you are a real gift to us stroke patients 💝🧡💝

You been very helpful in your information.. I wish I closer to you, I live in the San Diego area.. does temperature have a lot to do with my problems.?
Merry Christmas Dr. Tobias ! I am very happy that I have found your channel and pray that it is discovered by everyone in need of the caliber of rehab expertise you offer here. God bless you abundantly and make you a blessing to all suffering from various painful ailments. Dr. I have MS since 1999 And last July I turned 50 : I stayed fairly healthy by God's grace over the years. Dr. I'm confused by what I was told by my physical therapist is called TONE that is a Force pulling me backwards to better explain this - - when my caregivers or anyone helping me stand they feel I'm " resisting" them.
Hi Mark! Thank you for the kind words and for the excellent question. There are many reasons this happens. "Tone" is one reason caregivers may feel you are resisting them but it requires a lot more investigation to get to the root cause of this one. Sorry I could not be more helpful.
Hi I would like to ask you something spasticity in your arm or hand is that making your arm have a heavy feel it is it just week or is it a bit of both
I have both types of spasticity, and also a third. My torso front and back. I didn't have a stroke, mine is a brain injury from an assault. Any information on the Torso spasticity?
Hi Dr, thanks for sharing this video, . I had my stroke on Jan. 2020, I have these problems . I use a gilmore sling when walking to keep to keep my shoulder in position. Your videos have been hitting on all these areas. I will be 72 in Jan. . I have found muscles mass going away..
Doctor I suffered a stroke on my left side. My left arm and hand are completely paralyzed. My left leg has some feeling and movement which I’m working on with your exercises. What can I do for my arm and my hand thank you very much.
Where did you buy the Do your best and never give up. Would love to get one for my daily motivation please. I just found your channel and seems very helpful. New sub.
I made it :) Stencil, card stock, and a frame. I am glad you like it. I am a huge quote person. Helps to get the helpful thought in and move out the "not so helpful thoughts" 😊
I have a limp where I’m swinging my left left instead of walking normal … I wish do walk normally again. Tips/exercises for normal walk ??😇 thank thank thank you Do you have any tips for nerve pain?? My whole left side from face to under feed is daily burning me up with pins and needles😓 hope you have tips/exercises that can help me ease or remove the pain. … I know it’s my bargain that’s think something’s hurt bu doesn’t. Thank you for you!! 😇🙏🙏
my stroke was about a year ago now and because I do have a very weak left arm I am wearing a functional orthesis for securing the shoulder joint, its called a neuro-lux II and even though it has helped a lot since I have had no pain, I find my muscles are becoming really tight so that I find a lot of the stretches impossible to do now, especially the overhead ones and am experiencing a lot of the problems you are mentioning. What I would really like to know should I be wearing this orthesis all the time ? I have also recently purchased the Saebo stim go which i saw on one of your videos for shoulder subluxuation and am hoping that will help . Any advice.? I love the videos and have learned so much since starting to watch them. And the different ideas how to make up different exercise equipment un some of your most recent videos was fantastic too.
Thank you for watching these videos. When it comes to children there are many more nuances to consider and I strongly recommend you work with a medical team to help you with this.
Dr. Tobias , Do you recommend a light weight bearing exercises e.g 3-4 pounds dumbbells or elastic band pull for patients with hypertonia to prevent spasticity ?
Sorry for the delay. For some reason I miss some comments and just happen to find this one when I was answering another comment :). Yes, in my experience, abducting the thumb does help to get the hand and forearm muscles to relax which will allow you to supinate.
My husband is in long term care for brain hypoxia and he is very tight in his arms and fingers but they wont do physical therapy on him. How can I help him with his arms and fingers since they're super tight.
Hi Doctor, I don't know whether my comment is useful or not but I really need help on this! Since 2 months i'm unable to lift equal weights with both hands,got x-ray done but there was nothing in the report,earlier when the problem started i wasn't even to lift even 7.5kgs but after that i followed complete precautions and started doing proper warmup before any exercise, gradually i was able to lift 10-12.5kg dumbbells with both hand but still i feel some discomfort in my left hand, yesterday got it checked with a physiotherapist and according to him that there is some upper limb nerve entrapment in muscles, caused or unrelated to a probable mild scoliotic curve in my spine. p.s :- the doctor has asked me to do a spine x-ray to know the cause of the issue and said if there is still nothing found in x-ray then ncb will be needed.
Hello Dr Tara, I had a hemoragic stroke 16 years ago which affected my left side i have the pain and burning and stopped taking the meds. because they did not work i have learned to live with it. the question i have is how do i stop the shaking in my left arm when i move it it shakes terrible. also my left foot tries to roll.
Sorry to hear this. Just type that name into google and I am sure that there is a vender in the UK. These are used quite a bit in the physical therapy world :)
My mom's arm currently can be stretched to about 45 degrees of abduction and less than 45 of shoulder flexion. Is it possible to work toward getting her arm overhead in time?
Dr my right side is in spaticity mode throughout the day. It is such a horrible feeling. I get physical and occupational therapies. The spaticity is strongest at night. What can I do to minimize the spaticity.
wall push ups for a subluxation is not as good as this video: ruclips.net/video/nhoXP5ueC2Y/видео.html. In the "wall push up position" gravity will make it hard to prevent further subluxation (the arm is in a position to "drop down" out of the socket). I hope this helps.
Hello Can I just have a question so I have the brain swelling now they affect to my left side make my left side very weakness and the dr orthopedic he say I have a radial nerve but my neurologist he say I have a muscle plasticity because my finger can open and straight it so he would like to send I go to physical medicine and rehabilitation you think that's can help my weakness go away or getting better thank you
That is a great question! I should have included that 🤦🏻♀️. For "back sleepers", a pillow under the arm and one pillow between the arm and the body will prevent it from "sticking" to your side.

What are your thoughts on arm or wrist braces like the ones available from SAEBO? For the affected limbs
Dr. Tobias ,
Do you recommend a light weight bearing exercises e.g 3-4 pounds dumbbells or
elastic band pull for patients with hypertonia to prevent spasticity ?
All that flattening of the hand/fingers & abduction of the thumb, will that help make wrist supination easier?
Sorry for the delay. For some reason I miss some comments and just happen to find this one when I was answering another comment :). Yes, in my experience, abducting the thumb does help to get the hand and forearm muscles to relax which will allow you to supinate.

Hi Doctor,
I don't know whether my comment is useful or not but I really need help on this!

How to you call a person that does this type of treatment besides physical therapist.
When they do it hands on?
Doc I am unable to get the nyleax wrap Amazon don’t supplied. And they don’t deliver to the Uk.
Sorry to hear this. Just type that name into google and I am sure that there is a vender in the UK. These are used quite a bit in the physical therapy world :)
Thanks Dod. I will try and see. You are so helpful very good with what you do. Please stay on line you are a big help to all. God bless
Great advice. I was given a shoulder support and as it was elastic it was comfortable wen moving around
My mom's arm currently can be stretched to about 45 degrees of abduction and less than 45 of shoulder flexion. Is it possible to work toward getting her arm overhead in time?
Dr my right side is in spaticity mode throughout the day. It is such a horrible feeling. I get physical and occupational therapies. The spaticity is strongest at night. What can I do to minimize the spaticity.
If the shoulder is subflexed is there any hope it can be reversed with wall pushups,?with aid of course.
wall push ups for a subluxation is not as good as this video: ruclips.net/video/nhoXP5ueC2Y/видео.html. In the "wall push up position" gravity will make it hard to prevent further subluxation (the arm is in a position to "drop down" out of the socket). I hope this helps.
Thank you I’ll try this for my sister!

What are good sleeping positions
see previous comment :)
How should I position my arm when I’m sleeping. When I wake up , my arm is tight against my body
That is a great question! I should have included that 🤦🏻♀️. For "back sleepers", a pillow under the arm and one pillow between the arm and the body will prevent it from "sticking" to your side.
I had a stroke afew months ago still my hand not moving ,is there any hope for me ??please
