Very clear specific advice. I am 64, don’t have problems walking but still intend to implement strengthening of ankle, knee and hip. Thanks

[@HT-Physio]

Brilliant to hear you'll be putting these to great use!

Cause it's your mission to help the elderly I want to tell you this: I have frozen shoulders (stereo) about 2, 5 and 3 years . I had it before some 10 years ago (diagnosed) and in the gym an instructor helped me with some great exercises (without force) to cure it within one month. This time it seemed impossible to cure : I tried everything what I could find on KZbin, but finally ONE side is completely pain-free, the other side the pain is still there but MUCH LESS ! The only change that I made perhaps one month ago, is having a proteine-shake after doing the daily exercises, milk with one big scoop of powder. I started doing that because of your advice hoping that I could avoid muscle loss. Guessed this might be interesting to you. Thanks for all you do. Kind regards Joop

[@kqueenkqueen1290]

Thank you for your post. What protein shake do you take, please?

Back in February of this year i was in the hospital for low blood count, and blood clots, upon leaving hospital, i was told i would need therapy. I was to have a therapist twice a week. I showed him some of your videos that i was already doing. He said keep it up, those are perfect, you don't need me. I'm still doing the exercises and feeling great. I refuse to accept I'm 65! You are keeping me young.

[@HT-Physio]

This is brilliant to hear, I'm so pleased my videos have proven beneficial for you - keep up the brilliant work, and maintain your fantastic attitude!

It's wonderful to find physical therapy exercises aimed at mature adults 50+. I cannot find the answer anywhere online (including your channel) to my problem of difficulty completely recovering from grade 1 turf toe from chronic repetitive overuse -- walking too much! I have always been a walker but after 2 total hip replacements (5 years apart 2018 and 2022), I've gotten terribly out of shape (I'm 76). From June 1, 2024 to July 20, 2024 I upped my daily steps to a minimum of 2000 per day, averaging 3200 and some days as high as 4200. By the end of July I became aware of pain in BOTH big toe joints as well as tenderness on the bottom of foot under 2nd to 5th MPT joints -- is it possible to have turf toe in all 5 MTP joints? I quit walking any more than I had to to rest feet and allow turf toe to heal. I switched to flat-footed cardio such as ellipticals (both recumbent and standing) and aqua jogging in deep water. As long as I do not hyperextend my toes by too much walking I'm OK, but my days of using my cross country ski exercise machine are over. You demo the full range of motion heel raise in stocking feet but that is too stressful for my feet. Even wearing shoes, this exercise made my forefoot and toes ache. Sigh. Can you please do a video on recovering from grade 1 turf toe?

Great Christmas gift, a reminder of some of the exercises we've done in earlier videos, plus a move for the inner range quads. Thanks very much, Will! 🎄 👍 🥰

The exercise of connecting the mind body connection by tightening the quad was the one I really needed. I have MS and as I did the exercises I couldn’t FEEL the tightening effort of my right quadriceps! After repeated practice of that exercise, I finally felt it! Thank you so much!

So pleased this tip proved helpful for you, it's great to hear you're putting it into practice!

I have pain in both knees. I can walk without difficulty but have lots of pain while going down the stairs. I also cannot sit in a low chair as it is difficult to get up. Can I still do these exercises. I am 73 years old.
