I had shoulder pain for over a year, a result of working from my kitchen table during covid restrictions. I tried various shoulder exercises, none worked, eventually I booked a GP appointment. I came across you video before the appointment date and thought the GP may eventually refer me to have physio therapy anyway, so why not try the exercises on your video. After a few doing a few sessions I noticed that the pain had decreased. Now I am pain free. Thank you very much Will. I really appreciate your dedication to help others.

[@CapeCodBelle]

[@HT-Physio]

Thank you, not far now, I can't quite believe it!

[@margarethunter9650]

My feet and legs feel so good. Thanks also for the big toe exercise.

[@madronhealing]

When your videos first popped up in my feed, I thought "why am I getting this suggestion, I am a very youthful 55 year old!". But I love watching them, because so much of your content addresses my older clients' concerns, and by me sharing your knowledge via your channel, you are helping me help more people live stronger 💪🦵🦶 Thanks, Will 🙏🏻

[@nidalyd4751]

Thank u Will…. U are the best, very patient terapist for elderly…..❤❤❤

[@BlessingUbana]

Well done you are doing a great work for those of us who are over 60 years.

[@HEisWorthy-4C]

You are the BEST Will!! Thanks for your help & advice. 😊❤

[@LeannaRuthJensen]

I never get foot pain (other than stubbing my toe 😄) but I sort of already do these exercises fairly regularly. I use a step to to get my vitamins off the top shelf and my heels always stretch below my toes on the way down, I push my big toes back using the footboard on my bed most nights because that stretch relaxes my feet and I use my toes to pick things up off the floor all the time (long toes and a compressed disc in my lower back make this the easy way for me to pick up dropped pencils etc.) It's nice to know that these things are helping me and why. I have a peanut exercise tool that I sometimes use to massage the bottom of my feet but in future I will pay attention to keeping it just on the soft tissue . No point in making problems for myself eh? Once again thank for the informative episode.

[@gazorpazorp9798]

Great job yet again. Hope your practice is as successful as these videos are job well done.

[@BlessingUbana]

Thanks. Your exercises are very practical and useful. I am benefiting from them.

[@MsVinood]

I am 61 years old from India and watching your videos regularly! Your clipps are indeed very informative! Kindly suggest some good food to increase the muscle mass!

[@barbraannfraser5890]

You read my mind Will. I have all 4 of these issues. My foot pain is mostly at night with what i think is my tendons or ligaments that go to my toes. I wake up with one or two toes “locked” and bent upwards! Also my ankle often locks where it connects with top of the foot.

[@eileenwalusek]

75 yo been watching U on utube and now you have convinced me to buy your book. Thanks 😊

[@HT-Physio]

Thank you so much for ordering my book - I hope you enjoy it and find its content interesting, once it has arrived!

[@arttoegemann]

Another good video! Thanks Will.

[@dianneoconnor6767]

Thank you Will wow the big toe one works instantly. Also the shorter foot is great as I have hammer toes, so good to stretch them and get some more movement. Thank you again. The step one I would be worried about falling. Need to find a solid step!

[@azizarahim1566]

[@IRSA1]

Standing at the foot of the stairs and lowering your heels is quick and easy to do, as for the toe scrunching, it is fun to grab the bathmat sitting on the edge of the bath. Whichever way, it is vital to do anything to avoid becoming vulnerable to those dreaded falls. shall fight that till I drop off my twig !!

[@janninedevery7257]

I believe strong feet, strong body. I have transitioned to barefoot approach over a number of years. Solved a lot of foot and knee problems for me. I also follow The Foot Collective , who are bunch of physios that have good ideas. Thanks for sharing your video

[@sbcplays]

Will, your advice is excellent and this 68 year old has found it very helpful. Just a comment on the 'look' of you videos. Not sure I'm a fan of the new lighting for the closeup or the soft focus on the sides of the room. I find it distracting, actually. Keep it simple, like you did before, is my advice. And keep the advice coming! The format and length and structure of the videos is perfect. Thank you.

[@catherinefrancis5827]

New sub.. I’ve been searching for vids on feet care.. this morning, your videos came up! Thank you🙏🙏🥰🥰

[@user-xp5qx8wg9x]

Thank you so much for sharing your expertise, it's making a difference for us that's for sure. We live in northern Canada so access to physios is limited to injury only, not prevention of injury, so finding your site was a God-send. Subscribed 😊

Love your vdos. I'm a gyno and I recommend them to all of my peri and post menopausal pts who suffer a lot of bone loss and muscle loss. Hip fractures and knee joint replacements getting very common. If you can just give some special tips for this group of women in all your vdos, it'll be great 👍

[@ArtieStone-b7t]

I am a 75 year old male and I enjoyed a 40 year career as a professional dancer. I was forced to retire after being diagnosed with severe neuropathy in both feet. It has now progressed up to below the knee in both legs. I was told there is nothing they, the Doctors) can do but give me medication for the pain. I don't believe that. Somewhere, there is something that can help increase the blood flow to the nerve endings at bottom of the feet. Lack of blood in lower limbs can be a natural progression in older adults. I appreciate and utilize many of your exercises and I would like to know if you have any exercises that might help me regain balance, stability, and control of my lower limbs. Thank you for your time and for all you are doing to help the 50+ community. Artie Stone

[@MollyNaidoo-o5b]

Thakyou Dr .. lts going to help me a lot.God bless you.

[@paulmurphy42]

One thing that you should have mentioned is that, when buying shoes, always buy them at the end of the day when you are tired, preferably on the way home from work. Why? Because the feet do actually expand slightly during the day, and will be more uncomfortable at the end of the day than at the start. Experienced shoe salesmen know this, and are trained to tell their customers this! It makes them sound so much more knowledgeable, and it makes customers think they care...

[@AnjaliRoy-fj9zu]

Thanks a lot 👍🙏
