Thank you so much for your clear, easy to understand exercises. You take the time to encourage first time learners to take baby steps and most of all, come across as a person dedicated to help someone add quality to his/her life. God bless you, Doug.
No doctor that I have been in touch with during recovery has even hinted at how important it is to regain balance. This was a chance discovery on RUclips, which is one of the best uses of YT that I have ever encountered. Thank you!!
My Dad is 80 and just had a mild stroke from A-fib. His balance is terrible his core strength is so demished from years of covid and heath problems. I am committed to helping him get back to the things he always loved to do. I believe this routine will make the difference in his confidence. Thanks Doc!
You are a wonderful loving, caring Son, bet your Dad appreciates all the help you give him. Strokes are awful I know my Dad & Husband had them. Your Dad has had a lot, covid terrible, think he's great to do exercises. Wishing all the best for you both. Look after yourself & good recovery for your Dad.
Doug, I am a new subscriber to your channel today. I love how clear and gentle your instructions are! The exercise is great and helpful to anyone needed to improve their balance thus a quality of life without falling and hurt themselves especially seniors! I will be practicing with your routine daily from this day forward! I am 76 and in good ballroom dancing shape and wanted to keep it this way for as long as I can!💃🏽🚶🏻♂️🏃♀️🧘🏻♀️!
I love your instructional video. I watched it for the first time today and was so impressed. I sent it to my oldest brothers and others. I immediately subscribed to your channel.
Yes Dr Mary I learn a lot from you., I saw the vidio. and I share with all of the seniors from the church, Thank you very much handsome Dr Mary, GOD BLESS YOU. Sept. 20. 2024
I am recovering from a broken hip from March 23, I am still using a cain when I go out of the house, but inside the house neither at times. This video is very helpful and motivative, thank yo,u, am really trying to get back to normal walking but am fearful of nothing to hold on to without at least the cain.
I broke my hip last year April 4 , still using walker and came. Exercises twice a day including some of those in the video. I'll soon be 88 and I like to be back to normal
This is the absolute best exercise video I've found! Some of these exercises are familiar because I've had in-home physical therapy several times. Others are new to me. But 'this' is what I need to make exercise a daily habit. Thank you so very much!
Good Morning. Well explained. Great you are. I tried your "Best exercise to improve balance faster". Really helpful. Thank you sir. I am 44 years old, I have walking imbalance. I don't go outside. I have no problem in the Organs. MRI taken. No problem were noticed. I am taking anti depression tablet for 18 years. Could you please upload video for age 40 years and above to improve balance and walking. I am doing all the exercise by closing the eyes. Kindly help me sir.
I have the same state of walking imbalance. It was after taking covi shield vaccination. MRI was taken and no problem is detected. Vitamin B12 was almost nil. Injections were taken. I am taking B12 supplements for the last one and a half years. B12 is normal at present. But the problem is still continues. I am in Germany. Since the scan report shows no problem I am not undergoing any treatment here. I don't know what to do next
Almost the same here, check your eyes with neuro optometrist too, I am losing balance when walking down the srairs, in shops, crowded places... Scary 😢
Iam 90 years.While walking I use a walking stick.The problem with walking stick is that your entire concentration has to be on walking stick .Otherwise one may fall.May the excercises that you have shown so well may help me to dispense with the stick. THANKS.
Hello Doug I had a replacement last January It affected my whole left leg I did your backward step It did help alot My whole leg is much better The heel of my footis affected The heel is lumpy still Please advice me I thank you You exercise is very good I shared with my friend God bless you
Thanks a lot for this great video Dr. I am just over 50 and have difficulty balancing & stepping over due to one weak knee ... I can but comfortably walk backwards freehand ... the systematic arrangement of the exercises from simple to hard & the comparison with how a baby learns to walk through repeated failures is all very assuring and an encouraging way to keep us motivated and continue our efforts in this direction. thanks again, sincerely...
I am 64 this July I have problems like lower back. Also in my joints in ankle and knees. Have tingles in my feet been trying rub them I had to use a walking stick. Some times trying iam trying
Really loved these exercises n your simplicity in explaining them .... I've put it up as my status today.... I'm sure it will help my friends Thank you n God bless you ❤😊
This is a great exercise session. I had bilateral hip replacement surgery and back surgery. I still find these exercises hard but I am not going to give up thank you for these exercises 😊
thank you so much. I am 67 y. have one hip higher than the other so, I feel pain in my hips and unstable steady gate. will practice for the next week. to improve my balance
Of all these 21 exercises, which top 10 exercises will be all inclusive, benefits wise, of the 21 exercises. The point is to be able to exercise daily for a reasonable time period. Thank you Doug, you are outstanding PT trainer.
Thanks for this information because I am struggling to get my balance after spinal stenosis surgery ,but after watching these videos, I have hope that I am going to walk again.
I cannot thank you enough. I have lost my balance since having two spine surgeries. I have fallen very badly badly and often and will be doing these exercises each and every day and hope it will help.
I understand your point about balance and you are right. However, I walk with difficulty ( cane) and have to stop every 50 ft for a few seconds to rest because my back muscles are killing me with pain. I assume that the legs are weak and transfer load to the back. 86 yrs old, had an injury that changed my range of motion, gait, balance.
@user-ip7vv4wz5i- hi I think he said daily but to start with fewer repetitions- and build up! I hope I’m right! Good luck to you! I’m going to try too!!
Thank you for the detailed explanation of each exercise as I suddenly find I can't walk so well. I was very athletic, could run fast in high heels, now must wear FLAT shoes. My Dr. wanted me to take a brain scan ro see its function. Could this tell us my reason for poor walking. I always was complimente about my posture. What went wrong! Thank you so VERY MUCH!❤😅
Had a mini stroke four years ago, and eventually lost my balance so bad that I couldn’t get into or out of bed. I worked out at the gym and do a lot of hard yard work. Take my aggressive dog for long walks. She toughs me in all directions. Getting better but it takes a lot of work. Trying to jog a bit but that’s still difficult. It’s an everyday thing. Expect to be progressively better everyday.
Hi! Thank you for sharing all of that. I loved the aggressive dog part! It would be an excellent balance challenge you won't find in a therapy clinic. I wish you good luck with your recovery. I have seen so many people fully recover from your situation, I know it can be done! Please let me know how it goes.
I had fusion surgery from s1 to t7 18 months ago and accordingly my t12 was injured and peripheral neeve was affected because of 16 hrs positioning during surgery and since then I find difficultly walking without crutches and my balance is affected alot will I Regain my balance by practicing these excercises?
Greetings from Calcutta, India. Thank you for this superb video for balancing. I am 80 years old and had undergone hip surgery 3 times and am with an implanted hip since last few months. The surgeon had advised me core strenthening exercises which I am doing with physiotherapist. It includes only three or four balancing exercises (standing on the toes, leg flexion, mini squat, and another exercise which I do not remember the name, but which is raising the left and right feet in keft and right direction. I was operated upon on the right side (right hip), I cannt raise my left foot (with right foot it is quite okay). I cannot walk properly, if attempt to do it I shuffle. Please addvise me what other exercises I will have to do in order to walk properly. I am moved by your long concluding remarks, which are rare in this type of videos. Will I be able to walk again as a human being? I want to regain my walking capability. Please reply to my comments as early as possible, I am eager to hear from you. You voice is so good like a western film hero.
Hello. Thank you for the kind words. This video you commented on is really the best I have to offer you. It will help but it will take several months to see results. The balance exercises the PT gave you are a good start! The ones in this video are in order of difficulty. Work on each one until you feel you maseteed it and then work on the next one. Good luck!
Yes I am so thankful to be able to read all of the nice comments that I am reading about how you have helped those that you can even those that you can't I am hearing some very good feed back, I am so thankful to be able to read all of the good exercises that you are giving. I myself have had two back surgeries one hip replacement one knee replacement. And I tell you sometimes it gets pretty hectic. I have a new primary care doctor he's doing the best he can with me and I'm very thankful for him. But it's one thing I can say he set me down one day after taking all the tests that he had to take and he explained everything to me detail on top of detail kind of like you are doing now. But what I am proud of is because you are taking your time and you are really explaining and expressing what each one of these exercises representing that means a lot and I thank you so very much I myself might can't do all of them but I'll be trying to do as many as I can for my balance because I have talked to the doctors about my balance for I don't know how long now and everyone seemed to just want to add more medicines more vitamins to the problem so I'm thankful to see this program today continue on with your good work your good service and may God in heaven bless you and your family thank you..❤
Thank you for these excellent balance exercises. I have M.S., so will that make it more difficult for me? Also, is it better for me to go barefooted or be in my orthopedic shoes? Again, many thanks?
These exercises are very helpful. Sometimes I get a sidebar with "chapters"-a visual list that shows all the exercises in order. I'd like to be able to show this list to my PT, but now it is eluding me. Can someone tell me how to access the sidebar with the 21 chapters?
I am 84 years is it ok for me to do the balance my left ear I can't hear at all. I can hear on the right only I do try to balance exccises. Can you help with the problem? I love your program. I enjoyed watching and did some work out. Thanks.
I use a rollator walker with a seat but am having problems with going up or down outdoors stairs which is in the front and in the back. Can you tell about useing a rollator on stairs?
I had a physiotherapy mishap which left me with either shin splints or ligaments torn. I am recovering and need some help with my foot, which I can’t seem to lift with my heel on the ground. Can you help please?
Long ago I have subscribed your channel.But this particular video explained everything.The perineal nerves of my both legs have been damaged for a long time that’s what neurologist said so I have foot drops I can’t stand steady but I can walk without cane .Neurologist said he can’t do anything.Will your exercises help me to strengthen my legs I am 80 years old please help me Walking with cane I think my weight is distributed on leg and cane I want to strengthen my legs

These exercise can really help. They might look easy, but they are a proven way to walk without an assistive device.
Can't stop reading & watching videos
