Alyssa is the best answer to all age groups- not just young, thin people. She is really good and I have no words to describe her deep understanding of all issues related to arthritis

Best instructions I've seen in awhile. Thank you!❤

[@radawson1018]

SO many people in their 60s and older absolutely fear and dread getting up from the floor! This definitely is a video that should be required viewing of that age group LOL. Thank you for having people who aren’t the perfect size demonstrate your exercises. Also, you might consider having older, grayer and more fragile people demonstrate how they get up from the floor. Thank you!

[@smallfootprint2961]

Alyssa. Thank you for all your wisdom. I used to be in a lot of pain, and disuse from osteo arthritis. I up graded my diet to a 100% plant based diet, and, over time, much less pain, better movement, and many of the bony overgrowths are gone. Who knows if that's the reason, but, as an 85 yr old woman, I'll take it.

[@arthritisadventure]

Thank you you sharing and glad you are seeing much less pain and better movement. 85 and crushing it! I love to hear.

[@rachelweinstein9008]

Wow! You’re an amazing example! TY! ❤

[@chickinpickin1]

I had a Hip replacement two yrs. ago, since then ive had so many problems with my hip flexor. Pain, pain, and more pain, I considered surgery again. A friend of mine led me to Alyssa"s vids, what a game changer. Her videos are a gold mine of great info. im 70% back to norm, with a few days of 100% pain free movement. Thank you Dr. Alyssa Kuhn!

[@rikkiingersoll3271]

Thank you for simple exercises to do at home. I recently had a bad fall and physical therapy is ok but this gives me more confidence. I am 80.

Yes dear. You have given me tons of hope. I love to watch and listen to your positive words darling. I am 65 years old and all of a sudden for the past 1 year I am affected by peripheral neuropathy. Not able to sit on the floor and getup. Now I will vigorously practice all the exercises as instructed by you and will enjoy moving around as I was when I was in service for 41 years. Thank you darling. May God bless you. Love you. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@elegantwitchery2054]

I love this channel. Alyssa has helped me a lot. Before I found this channel, I used to go to Physical Therapy for a knee injury and needed leg strength because I became weaker with that injury. The therapist where I WAS going was so lazy, He'd show how to do an exercise one time......and that was it. He wouldn't come back to see if I need assistance or if I was even doing the exercise correctly. After two months I left, I felt I was wasting my money! I found THIS channel with Alyssa and have been exercising with her videos. She has helped a lot 💝

[@arthritisadventure]

Thanks for sharing and so glad you love the channel.

[@baaadddmannn]

I recently hurt my right knee, and was referred for physical therapy, two weeks after injury started exercises using Alyssa's videos and three weeks later now knee is much better, and without physical therapy, had issues making my appointment for P.T. causing me not to pursue it, now don't think I will need it, MRI next week see if that shows something .......I think with bakers cyst you need to get it drained, possible unresolved issue, Alyssa is the best ..........

[@functionalmovementcoaching9223]

As a functional movement coach, this is such an important video to pay attention to. It's important to understand there are also other effective techniques for getting up from the floor should you find using your quads difficult to do.

Another exercise requiring a bit of clear wall space. Was just saying this evening to a neighbor, as we were chatting in the building lobby, that I was going to have to come down to the lobby to exercise - as I don't have a foot of clear wall space in my apartment - and I noticed there's tons of space there. So what if my neighbors all think I'm crazy! 😂 (This is what NYC apartment living is like!)

[@arthritisadventure]

Hey! more power to you. It's important to get the movement in and who cares what people think :). So glad you're finding ways to stay active and exercising. That's a good idea to go to the apartment lobby.

[@crucitasquillace5072]

Alyssa I have had double knee replacements and I am now recovering from a knee revision. Getting up from the floor is definitely a challenge after replacements. With a knee revision dealing with the muscle strength to be able to do things. I am getting better but frustrated it’s taking 5 months so far. Thanks for this video. You explain things in such a gentle way.

[@Rick-nc6qp]

Thank you Alyssa for all the valuable information. I really appreciate this. Although some of your exercises are real killers for me, it does speak volumes for me. My friends even are starting to comment on how I am walking better than before. I still have a long way to go, I plan on always doing these. I still have pain in my joints, BUT the pain level is slowly starting to decrease but by bit. Thank you for doing what you do. Much respect to you. Sincerely R.

[@ChittarupaYoga]

I like how you get so detailed here. I work with seniors and try to get them to work on building that leg strength so they can get up off the floor if they ever need to.

I am so grateful to have found your channel. I am one year post bilateral sacroiliac fusion surgery and literally haven't been able to get down onto the floor for 2 years because I didn't have the strength to do it and really didn't know why. I would be able partially crouch/squat down but there was no way I was able to get back up (LOL). I feel like these exercises (and some of your other videos) will help tremendously in my rehab and are the missing piece to helping me regain my strength. Also you knowledge and compassionate approach are refreshing and greatly appreciated.

Great video. Appreciate your efforts. *One small caution note to the viewers:* Careful at this position shown at 6:30. I would say, better place the supporting standing leg in a NON slippery surface rather than in a mat which can slide backwards anytime.

Alyssa, i am so glad I found your channel. You have been so helpful to me. I’m wondering if you could address exercises for hip and thigh weakness and also sciatica most likely from a herniated lumbar disk. I do not want surgery ( I’ve already had a fusion and it’s the disk above the fusion causing the problem, and I’ve had a right hip replacement. That is the is the leg with major sciatica) although I have it pain on the front of both hips. I know this is probably complicated and if it’s too much to answer i totally understand. Thank you so much!!

I was so happy to learn that there were exercises to stop the knee from dislocating. I chose 2 of them -- and did them all day! I felt so much more confident to move around by evening. Less pain, but more importantly, more security and stability in the knee. i was thrilled. But... today i woke up with a lot of pain in both knees and the weaker one doing mini-dislocation-type movements very frequently... even while i'm just sitting. I was so surprised and confused.
