Anyone regardless of their age or physical conditions CAN improve! You just have to learn how to re-train your movement, and that is what I share on my channel. I teach Feldenkrais based movement and how to apply it to daily activities
Movement is vital to your health. Improving your movement therefore means improving your health and life. 3 key things are: 1) Daily movement practice to improve movement quality (MOVE WELL) 2) Incorporate good movement into daily activities (MOVE WELL AND MORE) 3) Awareness and mindfulness of your movement and lifestyle (MINDFUL MOVEMENT)

I cannot think of a single exercise you have posted which has not helped in one way or another. Many thanks to you. May you live a long, happy and healthy life!

[@TaroIwamoto]

Thank you!!

[@TaroIwamoto]

I apologize for the audio issue in this video. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to position my mic that won't affect audio through various movements in various positions. If you have any tips/suggestions for this, please share with me!

[@wendymiller9325]

Always so helpful and generous Taro Thank you 🙏🏻

[@wendymiller9325]

Always such helpful yet simple movements. Thank you so much Taro 🙏

[@mzm4infinity]

Thank you so much for helping so many with your knowledge and advice. In these times good people like you are beyond priceless💕👍😊💕

[@chiaradibi4168]

Extremely challenging exercise for my left ankle! I have to block my left knee otherwise wants to follow the movement. The ankle seems stuck. It's like learning to walk for the first time!!! Second time I did the exercise it was better and the left ankle more flexible. I will repeat this for sure thank you!!

[@sarelito9202]

This was a very useful set of movements.i had a bad sprain a few months back and my ankle was still missing some movement and strength It seemed better after these. Initially it was painful to do then the pain went and it got mobile and stronger. Thanks!

[@lydiasharp6070]

Exactly what I needed to learn at this time. Thanks so very much!

[@TaroIwamoto]

you're welcome:)

[@bcimterriblewtitles]

Definitely felt my right knee, hip and lower back loosen up with this one (once I was able to get the ankle isolation down lol 😅) Thank you ❤️

[@zalogfamily]

Nice I like this one really simple and easy. Ankles felt great afterwards

[@arenhansen625]

I am a long time runner but recently have some ankle pain. Great timing on this video as I am about to go for my first run in almost a month! Wish me luck.

[@TaroIwamoto]

Good luck!

[@featherboards1565]

This is fascinating. I've been suffering from heel pain for over a year and have been diagnosed with Achilles tendinopathy the plantar fasciitis. PT and treatments haven't helped. Doing this seemingly simple exercise revealed that I have much less control on the side with the pain - it sort of flops and twitches when moving in either direction. Is this a strength issue, a brain communication issue...? I think this is revealing but I don't know the answer. Thanks.

[@TaroIwamoto]

I would guess that is related to neuromuscular control and coordinatiob more than strength issue, meaning you can focus on restoring smooth coordinated movements of your ankle.

[@featherboards1565]

@@TaroIwamoto thanks for the reply. I'll try this daily and see how it goes.

[@susanareid310]

Hi Taro, any tips in how to stretch your shins?…thx. 🤗

[@TaroIwamoto]

you mean the front shin muscles or called anterior tibialis? if you can do seiza sitting, Japanese sitting, that will stretch those muscles

[@susanareid310]

@@TaroIwamoto yes, the tibiales muscle,…..thanks, I will do. 👍👍👍👍🤗

[@helpfulcommenter]

got some mic issues that need to be worked out. thanks for the ankle routine

[@TaroIwamoto]

@@1x1HealthyEnergybyAndrew did you have any trouble with this video? i personally prefer to talk as i guide through movement. I feel more natural and authetic this way.

[@bcimterriblewtitles]

@@TaroIwamoto it sounded like the mic was brushing up on your hoodie or pants when you were leaning forward so it affected the sound at some points. But it didn’t ruin the practice.

[@sarelito9202]

@@TaroIwamoto usually it's good, today there was some problems with your microphone, maybe it was not properly positioned, that's all.

Thank you. I have never seen an ankle mobility video! #MisterWalter #BballYOGI

did you like this routine?

[@walteriiboykin6406]

Yes! I think everyone needs this. People turn their ankles so often! 😊 #BballYOGI #MisterWalter

[@iwanabana]

It would be very helpful if you could re record this one with better audio!

Ciao. Io ho 60 anni e ne dimostro 40. Vuoi dire che con il tuo metodo posso regredire a 20 ? Mi interessa, perchè a quell'età ho fatto un bel pò di danni... se capisci cosa intendo.

[@angiecr8352]

Hi Taro, thanks a lot for all the great videos! I tried two times to get your ´Movement Guide to Pain Free Back´ but I get no reply email back :(

i am sorry you have not received movement guide. have you checked your spam folder? if not in spam folder, please send me an email from my website and i will email you movement guide.

@@TaroIwamoto Thank you, I already sent you an email in your website.

[@ingekaivola4685]

Wow ... my right ankle hurt doing this ...

[@TaroIwamoto]

in what particular direction of movement?

[@hudnix]

I just found out my left ankle clicks whenever I try to turn it inward

[@TaroIwamoto]

pain with clicking?

[@jmdahill]

I’m curious why you aren’t suggesting pausing To let the brain incorporate rather than just so much repetition?

[@TaroIwamoto]

very good suggestion! I do pause and go through movements in my class, and my own practice, but I make videos as short and concise as possible per request.

[@jmdahill]

@@TaroIwamoto ah, maybe just a reminder at the beginning that The most potent learning and change takes place with pauses. I love what you’re doing making it accessible. I forwarded this to my daughter but told her I would need to talk to her and give her some pointers as to how to make it more effective.

Sound ist terrible
