Morning Stretching Routine: No More Stiff Leg Gait

[@SweetCarolineeeee]

I swear, you post the exact video i need week after week. It’s incredible

[@rehabhqofficial]

Yay! I am so glad this one was helpful!

[@sigridomeara5658]

I often think the exact same

[@markd3300]

Excellent video! Well done Tara! In order to get my life back after a 2016 stroke I mimic these stretches at bedtime, in bed, and first thing in the morning. For what it's worth Tara is the real deal. Do the stretching that works for you. Everyone has different needs. I find that for me experimenting with stretches allows me to get specific and greatly improved my lifestyle.

[@rehabhqofficial]

Thanks for watching Mark and for sharing your insights!

Thank you so much,this is Gouri from Australia,45y and highly educated : I always watched your video. I fall a car accident and full paralysis last 3y, I have a lovely family and support me all time, I have tracheotomy and I am eating purée level 4,doing regular exercise and sleeping 5/6h,do you have any suggestions and when I walk,my physiotherapist is trying once every week to stand me up and my right knee is not very strong so after 3stands I got tired :Please help me

[@chris-4566]

At 4.50 I thought you’d gone to sleep on your comfortable looking physio bed. Then I realised my ear piece had come out, so all is well. Thanks for the warm-up exercises. I’m always wobbly first thing and close to falling over after getting up to use the toilet, sometimes up to 8 times during the night, so I’m gonna use your exercise routine starting tomorrow. Thanks.

[@ricokuenzler6754]

Danke!

[@rehabhqofficial]

Thank you so much for your kindness 🙏

[@darkodarkovic7827]

This will be a great extension to your morning stretching routine, especially for the deep muscles. A little more stretching for the deep muscles of the arms and shoulders, please. Thanks for the pdf, it's much clearer and more efficient to find new exercises. Have a nice week.

[@rehabhqofficial]

Thanks Darko! Stay tuned!

[@kathrynK303]

Thank you so much for sharing Ms. Tobias! I think that some of these will be absolutely fantastic to add in first thing in the morning and that it'll help me so much! Thank you so much for the handout as well! It is now on my bedroom wall so I don't have a reason to skip them. 😂

[@rehabhqofficial]

Yay Kathryn! I am so glad the handouts are getting used! This is exactly how I envisioned it when I starting creating these! Much easier to add them to you day! I hope you have a great week!

[@bobcahoon1397]

[@jamesrhodes7019]

[@souravmishra3049]

Is xtern AFO good for foot drop after stroke? Will it help me walk faster and better?

[@delaniamercouris9392]

When I walk my toes tend to stiffen almost in locked spasm what can I do to help stop that tightening of the toes that is so painful to walk

[@dominiclavu193]

Every time you say "handout", I think about my high school teachers who would say "I have a handout for your homework and you WILL be tested." EEK! :) Love your videos nonetheless ! :)

[@laileyahsarbini6838]

Share tq

[@lisagiarratana7660]

Thank you! I have Multiple Sclerosis and these videos help me so much 😊

[@rehabhqofficial]

Thanks for watching and for sharing! I am so glad you found this one helpful.

[@marchooper8675]

This is good if you not in a hurry to get to the bathroom , and if you have full use of your left hand side

[@marchooper8675]

.A lot of these exercises are great for people who have full use of both sides of their bodies . Not easy if one is not fully functional of your entire body. Kind Regards Marc Hooper

[@darkodarkovic7827]

@@marchooper8675 I'm going through that experience, but with persistent, daily stretching and exercise, I'm slowly and effectively returning to my former abilities. Proven to work.
