Will Harlow is the most informative PT on KZbin/ Social-Media. The very best!‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼

[@HT-Physio]

Thank you so much!!

[@JIMKATSANIDIS]

Appreciated the helpful and very useful video Will! Thank you for sharing your knowledge, your experience and for taking the time to educate and help us make healthier choices!👋❤

[@curiouscat3384]

All that plus 2 more tips I've learned elsewhere: 1- Whether walking or using stairs, keep your knee over your toes, not angled to one side or the other. (stopped my pain completely) 2- Going downstairs I do a duck walk, heel first with toes slightly angled outward. And I leave just the tip of my toes beyond the step so it won't catch on the rug and cause a fall.

[@michaelcrimmins1298]

Thank you very much for your knowledge. I will definitely use it.

[@HT-Physio]

I hope it proves helpful!

[@michaelsmith9102]

Thanks. Stepping fully on the each step fixed the pain instantly.

[@andreataylor9046]

Thank you for your informative videos and for sharing exercises that are easy to incorporate throughout the day whilst wearing ordinary every day clothing and without the need for fancy equipment.I hope everyone who watches your videos will purchase your book as a thank you for all the hours you put into these videos. I received my copy this week and am enjoying reading it and learning more about the body, its structure, how it moves and best of all I hear Will's voice in my head reading it to me 😊 Thanks Will regards Andrea from Adelaide in South Australia.

[@HT-Physio]

Hi Andrea - thank you so much for your support and your kind comment, I really appreciate it! Have a great day :)

[@lizcounsell2243]

I have pain kin both knees on climbing stairs. Dr diagnosed osteoarthritis - not surprising as I have it in my back, hands and one foot anyway. What I've never had is advice on dealing with it. This one tip of turning my foot to fit on my rather narrow stairs - and I have long feet - has made such a difference. Thank you. I'm working through your videos for other ideas too.

[@HT-Physio]

So happy I could help!

[@bowler8]

I told my ortho my inside knee was hurting after my femur break, he didnt even check if I could walk up or down stairs without pain, or even watch how I was walking...this is a lot more informative

[@lakshiabeyasekera2909]

You are the best physio .explains so well . Thank you for taking care of us old people .deeply appreciated.🙏🙏🙏

[@faithg9766]

I sometimes think you must be psychic, indeed my knees are giving me grief on stairs! Thank you for another really useful video, I have already been to try these tips.

[@bobikdylan]

Same here. My knee has been killing me for the last week. How did this appear in my feed?

[@HT-Physio]

I wish I was! Happy to could help at the right time

[@briansheehan4726]

Good vid,I'm 64 and my knees have been hurting on the stairs now for about six months.The left one is the worst even when I'm walking it gives way which is annoying. The Dr seems to think it's arthritis.I like will's tips that I've just seen especially putting my whole foot on the tread.I'm going to try that today.i'll let you know how I get on.Happy walking everyone😂🇬🇧

[@HT-Physio]

Wishing you all the best!

[@markzabrowsky2063]

Thank you for your video and advice. I followed your suggestions and my left knee pain in going up stairs has diminished by at least 50%. Much appreciated . Question: I run on my treadmill 3 x a week at about 3.5 mph. Is this helping or hurting my knee? Thanks

[@wanda520]

I’ve used your video advice and it really works!

[@HT-Physio]

That's great to hear!

[@meletcl]

Timely info as knee is not happy on the stairs and in general need to do some remediation exercises. As ever, thank you Will.

[@HT-Physio]

I hope they prove beneficial for your knee!

[@aysegurel4868]

Thank you for the practical information on knee pain and stairs. We live in a 3-story house and I have found it good exercise climbing up and down 5-10 times a day, but lately my right knee has started to ache. I will take your advice on foot positioning during ascent and descent. Thanks again.

[@HT-Physio]

I hope it can be of help - it's an important movement to protect and great exercise!

[@Sun-cz3hg]

Thanks dude

[@dorothysalley]

Thank you so much for bringing this information to us. I use a lot of your exercises The latest demonstration of walking up and down the stairs has helped do much. There has been no one else like you.

[@HT-Physio]

Thank you so much for your kind comment - I am so glad my work has been helpful for you!

[@ronaldrose7593]

A big thank you for sharing this informative video. I really appreciate it. 😊

[@HT-Physio]

Glad it was helpful!

[@lipika284]

Fantastic magical remedies doc keep going

[@janetdavid2619]

Thank you so much. I have been using my arms to pull myself up and down the stairs.

[@joseenoel8093]

My teenage son was being a brat and said "At least I don't go up and down the stairs like an animal" I've stopped doing that. I asked my bud if she did that, she said yes, she's now been diagnosed with pre-osteoporosis. I'd noticed her back shoulders' hump for a few yrs now, she drinks 3 cokes a day and her stomach might be pulling some bone calcium away to help neutralize her stomach's lining!

[@HT-Physio]

You're welcome!

[@vallgarr]

Thank you for this no-nonsense video. I don't have pain going up the stairs but there is a lot of crackling noises. I'm assuming the pain will follow.

[@ceciyeung4348]

Thank you, Will

[@HT-Physio]

My pleasure!

[@maylailum5335]

Awesome ‼️💯

You're welcome!

[@evansrussell45]

Excellent 😊

[@cbcb102]

Thank you, at last someone has shown me how to tackle my stairs! It works!

[@HT-Physio]

That's great to hear

[@sh8736]

Interesting thanks, but I was distracted by the f&m hamper under the stairs, if it’s Fortunum and Mason (up market Uk London store) then could have been full of luxury goodies.. was waiting for a comment and if this does not crack open a bottle of Bollinger to drown your sorrows ‘ 😂

[@marieliza858]

Me too! 😂

[@alb41ful]

My patella doesn't track. Would you suggest strengthening exercises to improve tracking. Thank you.

[@dianavaca4235]

Thanks very helpful

[@HT-Physio]

Happy to help!

Great vid!

[@HT-Physio]

Thank you!

Really enjoy your work!

Thank you!

[@danlutzka8007]

How many times go up and down the stairs

[@Creaton517]

Great tips for going upstairs. I'm going to give using my stairlift now if I can.😅

[@TheManySHO]

Great

[@joycephillips831]

Why us it easier to go downstairs putting the same foot forward first on each step, ( left, left, or right, right) but harder to alternate (left, right, left, right) ? I can't figure out if it's a knee problem, hip problem or lower back problem. I'm willing to work this out. But I can't figure out where the problem originates. It's painful holding my weight with the knee bent.

[@StudentLankaTube]

Nice

[@HT-Physio]

Thanks!

[@dluck999]

Me, I go up on my knee and pray!

[@Korgath13]

This didn't help 1) my foot is too big to fit on a step 2) turning my foot outward makes the pain worse and click more (so does inward) 3) intentionally activating the glutes by moving the leg before doesn't make a difference, I am already activating my glutes

[@galaxy_studio_9712]

but this is just a cheat to avoid the pain but it will not cure the problem.

[@MrYarabandi]

[@annecampbell7671]

Good morning, Will; I love watching your PT videos, they inspire me. I'm 70 and the knee, gluts , thighs and leg PT exercises speak to me. I walk 1 mile (20 minutes) 4x weekly and I attend balance and stretching classes a couple times a week. I'm just saying "thank you" for your clear instructions , helps me understand why it hurts and what to do. Thank You

[@HT-Physio]

Always happy to help!

[@janetmyers3729]

I was skeptical because I actually need a knee replacement and will have the surgery fairly soon. In the meantime, I’ve been struggling with stairs. So, I tried this and it seems to work for me. I’m amazed because I thought turning my feet outward would cause instability and pain. Thank you!

[@HT-Physio]

Happy to help!

[@247sportshighlights7]

I feel pain too when I run and climb stairs

[@247sportshighlights7]

Is this exercise good for both

[@joseenoel8093]

I vote for "How to stop stairs!" Hubby suggested I stop using the hand rail as I pull myself and the wet laundry to outdoors, he fears he's run out of room to re-bolt it in! 🙆 No pain just laboured motions!

[@josephsf2452]

turning your foot outward going up and down the stairs has been a game-changer . Thanks so much Will Harlow. You are on the Leading-Edge.

[@Lance70fl]

Great videos!!! Keep up the good work! I would love to see some more videos on foot exercises. Also, I would love to see things to avoid or the best exercises when lifting weights if you have lower back problems. Thanks!

[@bridgettata394]

I feel no pain when I turn my knee inward instead of

[@marcopolocucina2484]

My knee pain is rear outer behind knee, usually stepping up stairs… you only mentioned kneecap cap.

[@grrruaaa]

I am walking 50 stairs up and down in my work and this is very helpful for me. Thank you so much.

[@soulgalorememories9921]

How about walking up steps without a rail? Many steps leading to hotels, government offices etc do not have rails. For us senior folk - a rail is a welcome aid as we navigate steps or stairs….any tips regarding this because balance is not always perfect to “conquer” steps/ stairs without a handrail.

[@YathieshHS]

The audio is not working for this video

[@justuschickens10]

Who is here for that accent ? Oh and sore knees 😂

[@lanipowell7287]

I like your videos. This one was very hard to hear. Please turn up the volume.

[@ceciliaho6002]

I have pain in my inner aspect of the right knee after kneeling at church. Going up steps is worst then going down. Bending it is painful too. What should i do? Thank you if can advice. I found most of your advices are very realistic and useful too. Thank you so much.

[@lianaschill6132]

Strengthening all the gluteus muscles and lower back muscles have helped. Three months of targeted fitness exercises with a kinesiologist helped me understand the chain of anatomical movements.

[@tarlikapatel2513]

Your exercise is very helpful for seniors thanks but my toes are too weak so please send me a toes exercise or a play

[@CarmelMalephane]

My knee goes the other way when I walk

[@PeterMastropasqua-rk7tp]

Fantastic Thank You 😊
