I love this women who is concise, doesn’t waste time talking, explains the exercises clearly and focuses on the physical problems associated with arthritis. I’m 76 and have been very active most of my life but now face arthritic issues in my hips and back. She is a wonderful teacher!! And has helped me ease my pain. Thank you so much.

[@hollid175]

This takes me back. All of my PT exercises from when i tore my meniscus. TY, i had forgotten about since of there. You're the best😊

[@tosue1]

The multi directional is the best. If my bad hip is very tight/stiff, I stretch to put my foot flat on the floor during the back movement. It helps tremendously. 👍

[@arthritisadventure]

Thanks for sharing!

[@marybrewer5464]

Just discovered you. My knees have been hurting badly for about three weeks.Prior to that they did not hurt at all. Pain in left knee sometimes at the knee cap and sometimes it feels like a tendon in the outside of my left leg. I usually use a stationary bike for low impact cardio and walking outside. I have not been able to do either. Also, my left leg hurts in the bed at night. Should I use my stationary bike for 5 minutes as part of my warm up or not until I am pain free? I plan on start doing your exercise video for pain free knees tomorrow. Thank you for the video s

Thank you . I have Arthritis in my knees & now in my spinal joints. I have lower back pain. Can I use these warm up exercises before I walk with this back pain. I only started to walk this week & could only do 6min every time..

[@user-lp8cd3bw9o]

Hi! Thanks for your videos and the time you take to share with us. I'd like to know if you could also share some exercises or other things for OA in the shoulders. I have OA too both my shoulders, it's very handicapping in my everyday life and I don't know what to do anymore. I'm just a little over 40, not overweight, try to exercise everyday, pay attention to my diet, take UC II, glucosamine.... Please help me! Thank you

[@arthritisadventure]

Here is a short video that may give some ideas: 3 best exercises to relieve shoulder pain and improve posture! kzbin.info_Fm3oD4tHcg?feature=share Also inside my signature membership Adventurers for Life, we focus on the full body so there are many different upper body movements included.

[@SylvariDMT]

2 years ago I started getting pain in my upper back and both arms, had an mri and found 2 bulges. A year ago I got pain in my lower back, did mri and found 2 bulges. Although doctors say they are minor and I shouldn't be in constant pain like I am. Tried injections, ablation, physical therapy, etc with no relief. Over the last few months I'm now getting pain in my feet, shoulders, mid back, wrists, etc. I'm 39, eat well enough and do light excersizes at the gym about an hour a day. Been to many doctors, they just say im getting older. What is going on?

[@taniawatrelot6754]

Hi. Have you tried a diet pour in sugar, rich in végétales...gingembre, turmeric...to avoir inflammation or may be to avoid gluten and milk.? May be it is worth to try...

[@tinkingtinking2134]

Do you have any advise on Peripheral Neurophathy, i mainly have burning feet at night only on the metatarsal area and minor pain and burning when walking. Ikusy watched you video on metatarsal exercises, they're great. Its thenight burning feet i mainly suffer with, im thinking of taking Vitamin B1, B6 and B12.

[@JadaRose880]

Hi Alyssa, I am a new subscriber and I am really enjoying your videos. I have a question and I was wondering if you could help me. I am a very active person in my 70's female. I do have some knee issues but not anything that prevents me from doing the activities I enjoy. However, since it has started getting colder outside I have been getting knee and leg pain which comes on suddenly when I am standing. I do walk barefoot and I am active but I do a lot of sitting. It feels like my leg just gives out along with a lot of pain. Is this happening because of the sitting too much or is a weakness in my glutes. Thank you in advance and I do appreciate your videos. I have been doing many of the exercises. All the best to you.

[@marthawilson4775]

Thank you so much for your videos! I am starting to do more exercises now. Question: is there a particular exercise I should be doing if I have both arthritis in my knees, lower back and shoulders AND foot supination on my right foot. (My foot tilts out - not in.) Thank you!

[@arthritisadventure]

There isn’t one specific exercise but these can be a great place to start.

[@kalyanisk8008]

❤❤❤

[@arthritisadventure]

Yes!

[@sheeladsouza4922]

Hi dear. I have been following you and my balance and walking has improved a lot. But at nights i am getting lots of pain in my legs and now even in my hands which distrusts my sleep. Please can you show me some exercises which can help me. Thanks 😊 ❤

[@charlestonscnative9083]

She has some hand videos she has done on her channel. The exercises are helpful. My rheumatologist also recommended squeezing a rolled up pair of socks if you don't have access to a stress/squeeze ball. Hope that is helpful.

[@sheeladsouza4922]

Thank you for your advise. Definitely i will follow. How about leg exercises. The leg pain is killing me.

[@user-cb4pr9td8v]

Mam I am suffering from severe the muscles stiffness please advise me

[@user-st5zz9ku7b]

Hey i made surgery operation on my right leg and now cant walking normally what should i do ?

[@sujatachowdhuri3660]

If I sit on the floor I can't get up due to knee pain.Pls suggest any exercise

[@skirtika4587]

I am also suffering from osteoarthritis but now i have pain in backside of knee joint while stretching the knees to walk pain becomes unbearable but sometimes there is free movement also why is this happening and how to overcome it please reply with love from India.

[@hollid175]

I'm sorry you're in pain. I pray that you're pain free soon. Alyssa to the rescue. She's awesome

[@arthritisadventure]

One potential reason is when it becomes difficult to straighten the knee, the back can get tight. Strengthening can be one way to work the muscles out.

[@MohammadRezaNorouzi-sl4pt]

[@karolvoigt3636]

I cannot find sneakers to work for me...I am stuck in sandals even in winter. Have spent $ thousands on shoes but within 10 minutes walking in pain. Any advice please?

[@arthritisadventure]

You can check out these shoes kurufootwear.sjv.io/qnBZ35 Also, depending on your location, you can go to specialty shoe stores, like a running specific shoe store. And they typically have machines that can scan your foot and give recommendations of shoes based on your foot profile.

[@jfoley1968jf]

Awesome thank you

[@usmanm7975]

Can i recommend a herbal tip?
