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 absolutely LOVE your movement patterns! I feel the difference immediately.. THANK YOU!!

[@TaroIwamoto]

my pleasure!

[@djimiwreybigsby5263]

I'm glad you read comments because I want to Thank you for providing this to those of us with limited resources. I'm 70 and just found out that I have scoliosis when x-rayed for pre fusion protocols.. Now I follow your protocols and try to develop kinesthetic awareness and conscious connection to fascia, posture and reversing a lifetime of poor postural habits... And bowling left handed😊 Thank you again and again 🙏 I wish I could track progress with X-rays but I'm just going to trust you and the feldenkrias method Sorry for the long blather I really just want to express my deep sincere appreciation 🙏

[@RUNotEntertained614]

Your a legend 🙌

[@tousdr]

👍 Great to move ankle, knee and hip in a natural range of motion and stabilize the body at the same time. The help of the stock is realy amazing. I presume this is the movement our taichi teacher tried to get from us, years ago

[@omyogagal]

Obviously google algorithm picked up the fact I'm having knee pain and currently seeing physical therapy, then show me this video on my feed. Had brief encounter with Feldenkrais many years ago and was benefited from it for my back injury. This practice makes a lot of sense to me and will practice daily from now on. Thanks so much. If I could remember I'll report back a month from now about my progress.

[@danamummert1044]

Thank God I found you! I am. 54 yr old woman who has been experiencing hip pain enough that I stopped exercising. You're just what I need.

[@djimiwreybigsby5263]

so grateful for your help🙏

[@marcanello]

Thank you for this video! I had knee surgery 2 months ago and I need to do these exercises.

[@JeddackAl]

thank you Taro Iwamoto, I am so glad to have found your blog as feldenkrais practitioner!

[@denise2169]

Great exercise! I like using the dowel to help my stability, and I can really feel how my foot, ankle, knees and hips work together to support my whole body. Thanks, Taro!

[@TaroIwamoto]

Everything is connected, right?

[@denise2169]

@@TaroIwamotoyes, I get this now, and when I move, I try to feel how my whole body works together. Thanks! ☺️

[@CaptainKuki]

thank you Taro

[@tonyagreene6087]

Brilliant movement. Definitely activates the whole kinetic chain.

[@trishmacmillan4646]

Thank you, thank you ,thank you…you are a gem.

[@jimwing.2178]

This routine has been more effective for me than it may seem if judging by the amount of time and effort involved. However, if done mindlessly, it might not be so effective. I can feel that my non-sore knee side has better glute activation than does my sore knee side. My sore knee side compensates by relying more on the quads. If I stay focused on activating my glutes, my knee grows less sore. I found that in the early days of my practice, I had to limit the range of motion on my sore knee side, or else the glutes would turn off. So every day, I go as far as I can while keeping my glutes activated. Over time, they get stronger and my range of motion can be broadened.

[@dawnjohnson8739]

I want to know how you knew that I REALLY needed this! 😊. Thank you! ❤️

[@danamummert1044]

He is a God send!

[@Lizzardward]

Me too! Thank you!

[@arubhartiya8444]

Hi Taro I love your work. Its really helped me get out of pain. Would you have any videos on upper body ,arm and shoulder strength? I'm quite weak currently due to repetitive injuries. I'm looking for gentle movements to strengthen.

[@gulashamkhalli8173]

Super!

[@lois4329]

Hello, my left patella was removed many years ago so this has been great first time trying. I found that i was having right knee pain. After completing both exercises I discovered I was allowing my right ankle to turn out. The fluidity of the connection has been revealing 😊. Thank you for doing the videos. I can relate to your communication easily. 👍

[@bettiblanchard873]

My knees are the thing that keep me from doing a lot of exercises so this looks like it will help. Thanks.

[@ayakawasaki4254]

It was helpful. Thanks!

[@TaroIwamoto]

My pleasure!

[@katherinescooking]

Thank you! I’m going to try these to strengthen my knees which tend to get injured doing most exercise classes.

[@rubywilcox7405]

Interestingly challenging! Looks simple, but totally activates those muscles! Thank you!

[@robertwhite2449]

This is great 👍🏻

[@sirrobinofloxley7156]

Great video, the dowel really helps guide for a true indicator of movement, thanks so much.

[@brightbleu]

Excellent video! Sometimes I struggle with knowing exactly how my body needs to be positioned. I'm not sure how to put this so it's appropriate but it would be really helpful ( at least for me) if you wore clothes that weren't baggy, perhaps yoga pants and shorts or a t-shirt. Thank you for your videos, I am learning so much!

[@strangelet4588]

These are great. Haven't noticed any videos on ulnar nerve treatments (cubital tunnel for example). I would love to try out any techniques you might be able to share on that! Your other videos on shoulder tension have been really helpful for me! Thanks for all you do.

[@MiraMate]

Great video!! Mia

[@cbo9683]

Hi. Could you please do a video on how to improve the tightness of the ITB band. Thank you

[@Gauravkumar-jm4ve]

Nice

[@bryffanwimartin2505]

🥰🥰🥰

[@mickkali]

Thank you for all you do:). Question? Do you have a video(s) to provide relief for horrible lower back/right hip pain ? I am a fairly new to Feldenkrais and a new subscriber to your channel. And I’ve done many of your videos in the last two weeks. I have a lower back and right hip pain that rears its ugly head at any moment and it’s quite debilitating. If you have a suggested video or two that might help me alleviate this pain I would be so very grateful. Thank you 🙏

[@danielaratkajec3295]

🙏tnx

[@myka3.0]

grande...muy buenos y bienvenido estos movimientos

[@sele1103]

Thanks, this is just great! When loading the hip, it looks that you are not letting it cross over line passing midway (toes to heel line) the loaded foot?

[@TaroIwamoto]

i am focusing on keeping my foot stabilized during weight transfers in order to stabilize my knee.

[@barkhashah]

As always too good . My glutes are on fire

[@kathypfeiffer8112]

Thank you for these! My left angle/knee click a lot but no pain. Does the clicking mean anything significant? Thanks!
