Thank you for this information was released from therapy they said I was past recovery which I didn’t believe started following you and already am encouraged three years post hemi stroke
Be encouraged I’m three years in and this channel has been encouraging spasticity has been the worst me just started a slow decline in it maybe six months ago so I know the rest is on the way out
Thank you Dr Tabias. I had a stroke in June 2018. In the beginning my daily excercises were smooth and easy not until stiffness, pain and spasticity kicks in. And because my muscle coordination is worsening, to the point I got scared, I might get crippled, I stop excercising. When I saw your videos, specially those isolating excercises on each areas, I feel better again. My stiffness, pain and spasticity are getting less and less. I want to excercise more and more again. This video directly targets my problem in the area again. I must say, you are so helpful Dr Tabias. Your videos gives me an understanding on what Iam going through and how to go about it. It gives me hope that soon I can go back to normal again. Thank you.
Thank you! I have MS and your videos are extremely helpful. You are an amazing person! Thank you for taking the time and having the patience to share all this with everybody. Have a wonderful day.
Most of us can't grasp the wealth of knowledge Dr. Tobias just dropped on us. By far one of my favorite videos! I do have an question. When externally rotating humerus I tend to overcompensate with my trap especially against gravity. Should I just practice these laying down?
Hi Tony! I am so glad you liked this one! You bring up a very common problem in regards to the trap. Usually the upper trap is over active and the lower trap is under active but I will get into that more in next weeks video. All that being said, I think when stretching, get in a position where you can be the most relaxed (ie: not feel like you have to work to maintain the position). I hope that makes sense!
TARRA THANK YOU for your insight and all the time you put into your videos. Your Root Cause aprouch in helping us understand our anatomy and then ethodically explaining in detail the benefits and steps neeeded to proceed and hopefully gain mobility is both inspiring and refreshing You have an INCREDIBLE talent of being able to explain and interpret what we are going through and help. .

Hello, Dr. I has been very careful to carry out your treatments for three years, the addition of rotating movements of the head during the exercises will open the neural pathway for all the knights of the body. Successfully, this is a global revolution in treatments on the globe.
OMG Tara You are the first practitioner besides my rehab physician who has EVER mentioned the coricobrachialis muscle !! I am 14 years post CVA and spasticity in that muscle was the most painful thing I have ever experienced - including child birth. While I still have spasticity, thanks to Botox early on, regular stretching, exercises and “rehab through daily activities “ my coricobrachialis has been pretty well behaved. As an aside, I find it amusing that the muscle charts that I have seen from the Botox people don’t even show the coricobrachialis! Thanks for your library of videos, very interesting and helpful.
I am so glad you have a physiatrist who addressed ths! Yes, most physiatrists focus on the pecs and bicep 😫 That little bugger (coracobrachialis) is left to "go to town" and cause pain under the arm and down the entire side of the body. Thanks for sharing your success story with the botox!!
your videos are very good. thanks to these they have helped me a lot in my recovery, I suffered a stroke on May 14, 2023, i have 54 years old am i are an active person i do cycling and running. I understand I have recovered a lot but my left shoulder still bothers me a bit and my left hand does not have the proper movements I can grab some things with the help of My right hand, for example, I put a bottle of water in my left and I can hold it but it's difficult to let go. I continue doing therapies on my own and watching your videos that I must do to recover the movement of the hand. Thanks in advance. Greetings and hugs from Puerto Rico.
Thank you Doc, This clip was very inspirational and detailed. I enjoyed watching it, and will soon incorporate it into my daily therapy sessions. God bless!
Hi Tara what a wonderful guide, thankyou. I am 3 month post stroke and have subluxed left shoulderwith no hand or elbow movement and moderate spasticity. Most of these stretches give me intense shoulder pain. Would you recommend pushing through the pain or pain relief? Thankyou Jason x
younger patients may be able to lay prone and attempt a stretch like this, but our 80 and over folks would very much struggle to obtain this position....
Thank u dr tara for dis modified exercises sometimes continuous exercises become boaring can u tell us about daily routine work that consist exercises of shoulder or wrist such as wearing mala Or brushing teeth etc would u please suggest some other dear
As an OT who's worked with many folks post CVA, it would be really tough to get most people in this prone position and get the elbow straight like that
It is not easy, but it can be done. That being said, if someone is working with a therapist, the same principles can be applied. Just takes some creativity to figure out different positions. In my experience, OTs rarely even get people on a mat. Prone or supine. So if you are getting your patients in supine, you can assist them to get the range so that eventually they can lay prone. Also, I often have to start with the arm extended on a lower mat next to the mat they are lying on. I hope that helps!....additionally, from one clinician to another, my first thought is NOT typically, "my patient can't do that". My first thought when I am presented with a challenge, is how do I modify this to make it possible.
@@rehabhqofficial this is how all OTs need to be thinking!!! As an upcoming OT student, I am very inspired by the knowledgeable content you’ve been providing.
So many stroke survivors I have talked to are desperate for euthanasia to be legalised. Some of these people have had several years since a stroke behind them, and rationally explained their reasoning. We treat dogs and cats more humanely than people. They especially dislike people thinking they know better.
Ty Dr. Tara, your videos r very helpful. I appreciate your patience in discussions when explaining key issues relating to your subject matter. Do u offer sessions? I do travel & would like to have ot&pt when I do travel. Best regards, Maggie.
Thank you Maggie! To schedule an in person appointment, send a message via www.orlandoneurotherapy.com That is the fastest way to get in touch with a scheduler.
Hi, it’s been about a week since I discovered you & I’ve watched a lot of videos since then. Do you have any suggestions to prevent me from getting overwhelmed? I don’t know if you can answer that, though. I exercise on my own, 4 years after my stroke. I just see some things I need to be doing (related to improving my walking, etc.). On a related note: I’ve told myself that I need to wait al least a week or more before I buy any new products; there seems to be a lot that I could buy. 😅
I had a stroke last year and I'm having left arm spasticity and major pain as well. Having difficulty lifting my arm without being in a lot of pain. What exercises can I do to start to elevate some of the pain to get better mobility
Dr. Tobias, Are there good exercises or a video for someone with symptoms similar to ALS- spasticity in the hand, wasting of muscles in the hand and arm, phlegm in the throat, etc. but who doesn't have ALS. Maybe bulbar symptoms. This is from benzo withdrawal and mitochondrial poisoning from concurrent use of benzo, alcohol and green tea poisoning. Possible thiamine deficiency on top of this and covid. Some don't recommend strenuous exercise for people with ALS. Is there a health club nationwide that addresses exercise for those with neuro issues? Really appreciate your highly advanced and intelligent videos so much better than iphone exercise apps.
I have lymphedema resulting from radiation and breast cancer. I’ve lost total control of left arm, at shoulder. And hand. Cannot make a fist , pick up a pen, or write… I’m devastated and desperate.
it is not just that I don't have any more success in my PT, OT. The therapists don't find the arm movement that important and are more interested in only teaching compensation and walking.
Thanks for watching and for the excellent question! The better video for shoulder subluxation is last weeks video. Link in the description to this video.
Thank you, Dr. Tara for sharing your knowledge and your words of encouragement. I write because I would appreciate your suggestion to my concern. My physiotherapist told me that she could not take me back for physical therapy until I could move my arm. I have taken Botox treatment since 2019 but had not had physical therapy to stretch my arm. I believe that I will not be able to gain the benefits of Botox if I do not get physical therapy. I cannot use my right arm and fingers, which is the uninvolved arm and fingers, because I have osteoarthritis in my wrist and all my fingers. I kindly ask you if you have any suggestions for me. Thank you very much. Kind regards, L.M.
Hi Lena! Thank your for sharing your story. I agree that botox is most effective when it is administered in conjunction with physical therapy/occupational therapy.
Hi Gino! Thanks for watching an for sharing our story. It all depends on your level of injury. If your injury was C7 or lower, I would say your chances are good. If you injury is incomplete and above C7, I say the potential is there to regain triceps. I hope that helps!
Hello I am a hemiplegic patient. My problem is my upper limb and lower limb tension increases in awkward situation like barber shaving my beard or some on comes to close to me or I am in awkward situation. What is this syndrome and how to manage it
What is the name of the hand wrap... I am 3years out from my stroke.. I have a dowel rod and do these kinds of exercises and my left hand needs to remain on the dowel rod .. I would like to purchase the hand wrap but don't know the name ..
how much of the rotation can be recovered through passive or indirect exercise, i havent ever seen this stretch and yes with a tbi I don't have the best cognitive ability to select the best exercise and have a routine developed by my oc therapist.
Thanks for the question Casey! Stretching is ALWAYS productive. So whether you results in restoring active shoulder flexion or is just keeps everything lengthened to give you the best chance and restoring movement....it is a win-win 😊
Are these streches possible with a shoulder subluxation after apoplexia? What exercises would you recommend for a heniplegic subluxation shoulder? - really good usefull videos!!
Hi Steve! When you are lying down you are "fighting" less gravity. Also, lying on your back, helps to stabilize your shoulder blade which makes the muscles able to generate a little more power :)
Hi Therese! Thank you so much for watching and for commenting!! I am having a little trouble understanding your comment. I think you are asking about exercises for sensation issues? Is that correct?
