Seniors: How to Stop Grabbing the Wall when you Walk!!

[@barbarahoule6372]

Thank you for helping those of us who need this instruction.

[@LibbyTroell]

Starting these exercises today! Thank you so much!!

Love this video I do it a lot of the same things with my clients. But in the beginning of your video, you stated that this is not a strength exercise. A lot of these exercises that you’re doing involve strength and strengthening of muscles but overall just a fantastic video . Another tool that I use is a vibration plate. I have them stand on the vibration plate and exercise or just hold onto a upper bar and slowly releasing that bar overtime or working their way down the bar and then releasing it. Vibration plates are a great tool. I’ve had a lot of success with my clients using vibration plates and they think it’s fun. Which is a big help to get them to do it.

You really explained something that happened to me last year that baffled me. I was cleaning and tripped over a narrow box moving forward but somehow when I fell I went backwards in a squat and hurt my knees. Had PT for a year and learned several of the exercises you demonstrate here. But I never understood how tripping forward I ended up falling backwards. My knees were on fire for months. Please continue the videos. It helps us better understand the "why" which keeps us motivated to keep working towards improved health. Thank you

❤❤very good 👍 presentation of balancing exercises

[@AudreyJohns-zh1ge]

Your presentation is the BEST!

[@neurolasticinstitute424]

Wow, thank you!

[@miriamcedillo4431]

Not only do I feel steadier using a shopping cart, I actually LEAN on it with my forearms resting on the handle bar. At home I do use a rollator, and a cane when out (unless I know I'd be standing or walking for a long time, then I take my rollator). I'm starting my New Year's Resolutions with doing your programs. Thank you.

Will not be able to remember all these. Wish I could save!??

[@neurolasticinstitute424]

This video is always available and can be bookmarked.

[@gordonhalstead9846]

Thanks for best instructions for balancing exercises great 👍 presentation ❤❤😊Lucy Watching

[@lindataylor5779]

One tweak to these exercises would be to not look down by bending your head/neck/shoulders over. Looking straight ahead helps to make your entire body more easily balanced. The chair or the counter is not going to disappear. And it's possible to look down more with your eyes than bending your head all the time.

[@alisonperea1208]

You answered my prayers thank you 🙏

Thank you so much!

[@saundraweed9738]

Thank you for such an informative video. You provided all the information in one great post. This makes it so much easier to fit these into my life as well as the frequency they must be done. And a big thank you for giving us a realistic timeline to get results.

[@angelinamoody989]

Fantastic!

[@anniemorrison1250]

We have to step over the threshold at the front door and I would like to place something outside to step onto. Do you have any suggestion? We are 78 and 76 years old, so these balance exercises will be very helpful. Thank you.

When my knee hurts, I grab a wall!

[@miraghoh217]

I am Osteoarthritis patient and can't walk without grabbing wall or furniture.kindly show the exercises how to improve

[@shammaz2274]

This video helps actually

[@kengmingong]

Thanks I am 81 with balancing problems for 10 years and using a walking stick but will try... Am I too old??

[@marymcquaid7291]

No you're not. I'm also 81 and I've started doing it. The key is not to give up.

[@clareparkinson-w8r]

No you are not too old. the secret is dong it all the time if only for a minute or two dont give up , it will work but not overnight . good luck

[@marymcquaid7291]

I used walking sticks for four years when I had knee issues. What I found was that it was best to use two sticks rather than one, to balance the weight. Each knee healed on its own, after two years of walking with sticks. Now I can walk just fine without using the sticks.

[@neurolasticinstitute424]

Not at all

[@hossieb4874]

If you hv a bad hip it causes fear in walking that that hip will give out!

[@evelynelliott4485]

❤❤

[@yesimhere4469]

I hope some person invents an innersole for my shoes the helps with balance ,and maybe Zero gravity?

[@sawong8685]

I will ALWAYS hold the rail when going downstairs. It would be helpful if the exercises were time-stamped, so when ready to proceed to the next level, we can find where to start the video.

[@DebraDix-m3b]

Thank you so much for this! Once you master one exercise and move onto the next should you ever go back and do the ones you already mastered, or only start from the beginning again once you have completed the entire series so you don't lose what you gained?

[@gboete]

My aunt is 91 next month, and she says it is too late for her to improve by doing exercises. Is it ?

[@neurolasticinstitute424]

Short answer, no! I have clients past 100 who see significant improvment.

[@gboete]

@ thanks !

[@patriciasalyers9875]

IF I drop something when I try to pick it up I Fall

[@JoAnnTurchin]

Could u send me some material in the mail so that I could have this at home so that I can do it pleasei

[@HulaShack1]

That is what printers are for. Do screen shots and print it yourself. Surely you can't expect this man to print info and mail it to you.

[@anitakrip]

Need to know your email is. Want to communicate with you urgently please🙏
