Good tips thank you

[@donwest600]

Thanks xlnt as always, for the rowing exercise one could use a good rope, large towel etc around a pole, post, tree etc.. lean back a bit and pull yourself toward it. On a walk a street sign post works well also.

[@ridgewalker2416]

I am about to complete my 76th year. I have worked out on and off most of my life, but since retiring it has become a weekly ritual. Strength and balance are key to enjoying life IMO. I have worked up to where I can turn a Bosu upside dow, jump and land on it balancing flat footed, and do 25 squats, then jump off. I step back on the Bosu and do either 20 single leg swings front to back, or side to side. This is where I am today. Looking for the next progression of my balance. Thanks guys for all your help!

No problem!

The one where Brad is in the corner trying to put his pants on exercise had me laughing 😆 that’s me. Thanks for these exercises I will be trying them. I’m so sorry it made me sad to hear about Bob.

Ok I work in construction and literally have had back pain for 4years after a unpredictable sneeze, yes a sneeze threw out my lower left side of my back.. after watching this video and trying the suggested walk as though in "high heels" lol. My back pain was almost gone within 10min.. thanks guys! Love your show and hope you continue the great work and information about physical therapy for years to come.

[@sarahrosen4985]

Oh my g... The sneeze. I am not alone. In my early 30s I peaked around the door of my little ones to see them sleeping those last few minutes before they woke up. With my spine twisted and bent I sneezed. More than a month of not being able to sit, carry anything or breathe well. Almost 30 years later and still afraid of sneezing. I have a bulging disc and, sometimes, I will get in the driver's seat just the wrong way and have a day or 5 of pain. Sometimes I take a deep breath just at the wrong time, there is a spasm and the pain comes.

[@lindalipuma5392]

Great seeing you Bob, if only for a second! I have a Bob & Brad story: I’m in seeing my family doctor talking about my MRI. In our discussion I told I am doing physical therapy at home. With the “most famous physical therapists on the internet “ he said Oh I just heard about them from another patent. I then began to tell them all about my experiences with you guys as my go to for over 6 years! Being our family doctor for over 20 years, he is watching me pretty closely since the loss of my husband’s passing this year . I told him you were one of the first places I went for for balance and senior exercises( it helped just get me out of bed). My doctor said he would have to watch you and catch up! You are both fine gentlemen … “See You”are the most famous physical therapist on the internet. Thank you for all you do…

[@theroadhome_Liz_Summers]

Great demonstration of exercises! At 68, I am so far staying mobile and reasonably strong thanks to a lifetime of athletic activity, house/property chores and strength training. I work from home (for 38 years) so have had good opportunity to incorporate movement. BUT, I have had some issues which relate to muscle imbalance: hips particularly. At any rate, I stay tuned here and other spots and add to my routine. Thanks all!!

[@soupernutt9508]

This is very helpful and ENCOURAGING!

Just discovered your videos! I’m 68 and have always been active, walking, cycling, gardening and looking after the household chores and yard work on my own, but I was surprised to realize how my flexibility had declined when I recently started to have a lot of neck pain and stiffness. I’m seeing a physiotherapist and doing the exercises he recommends, but I wanted to do a bit more on my own because it quickly became apparent to me that my flexibility issues weren’t confined to my neck! Your videos have been a real find, I appreciate the clear directions and explanations, and your humour and encouraging approach. Looking forward to better fitness with the help of these videos, thank you!

Love you Bob and miss you very much every time I watch these videos. Thank you for making a positive difference in our lives. I fell and broke my leg 2 months ago and became very depressed. As an older person of 65, I didn’t expect my broken leg would heal so soon, but it did at 6 weeks. However, ankle and foot are still bruised and swollen. Different parts of body are still stiff and hurt. I want you to know that your videos are tremendously helpful with the healing process I can’t even begin to describe. May you and your loved ones are blessed with good health and happiness always. Thank you Bob and Brad and Mike. You’re the best!

[@Historian212]

I appreciate this video, glad to have something I can recommend to folks that’s simple and doesn’t require special equipment (arm resistance without buying elastic bands or such can be added by holding something small in each hand that has a little weight; to start with, many people don’t need extra resistance at all, as their arm weight will be enough to hold up if they’re just beginning). Please remind people when they’re doing lunges and other footwork to keep their knees centered over their feet (even if not all the way forward over their feet). In other words, don’t allow the knees to torque sideways, as it can cause knee pain or future knee issues. Be sure that feet are flat on the floor without rocking the ankles outward or inward. Overall, more mentions of proper alignment, keeping the shoulders from hunching up when doing arm or upper back work, and supporting everything with the core abs are very important habits to cultivate.
