I used to suffer from plantar fasciitis, I founf strengthening my calves was just as important as stretching!

[@yvonnetrigg4745]

[@HT-Physio]

Thank you :)

[@ingridbashor9975]

Very useful. I picked the exercise on the chair. The seated calf raise. I am eager to do it regularly and watch the results.

[@NeilK-z5y]

Very useful, especially as I'm recovering from a running injury

[@AngelaHamiltonRao]

Thank you for making these informative videos. 👋🇬🇧

[@HT-Physio]

Glad you like them!

[@margaret7973]

great helpful video - can I start doing these after a half knee replacement?

[@HT-Physio]

Best check with your healthcare professional first as everyone is different!

[@lydiagould3090]

Thankyou, these excersises are great. I'm hoping this will prevent me getting achilles tendinopathy when I start my running speed work

[@kayplayforth9007]

Inspired by you ❤

[@HT-Physio]

:)

[@HenryMildenhall]

Very helpful-- that applies to all videos.

[@dessiecoder2116]

So weak can’t heel raise what to do. After ank;le and calf injury I worked on my feet long hours in busy season letting that one rest then became a habit over the winter and now I am so screwed. I can walk but have a slight limp. Its weak as hell. Not sure if it is the calf or ankle. I can move in all ranges but its super weak. Any help? No insurance and I am terrified.

[@suedayani7132]

Would these exercises help weakness in left leg from a neurological condition?

[@prakashmungekar3119]

Splendid. Thanks

[@rosaislena8220]

Thanks you, Will. Where do I get the elastic band for women in the first exercise?

[@damusandy]

Thanks

[@afram4477]

Hi Will. Are you planning on making any hip related videos. Your knee videos are very helpful.thank you for making such helpful videos

[@HT-Physio]

Yes, soon we will be doing more hip-related content :)

[@janelucywambuigachihi3687]

I appreciate the question and your answer, plus looking forward to continents on hip exercises. Great job you're doing Will, thank you for assistance 💕🇰🇪

[@claudiabuckley8849]

Very well explained. Thank you.

[@HT-Physio]

Happy to help :)

[@Annikichan]

Can you do these if you already have Achilles tendinopathy, or you should sort the tendinopathy first? And could you make a video on how to help improve Achilles tendinopathy? Thanks!

[@HT-Physio]

Strengthening is a key part of tendinopathy rehab but best to get checked out first!

[@pabulumm]

Should you do these every day? Or every other day, or...?

[@naveenahmad1331]

Very helpful! When I try to press my toes to lift my right calf they curl in ( the sitting calves raise )

[@gracem8090]

Love all your videos! For this video, whichever exercise I choose it's 15-20 reps. How many sets would you recommend? Thank you

[@googoo554]

Thanks so much Will. When I do calf raises or squat too far down, my heel starts to hurt. May I please ask if you think these will help? Many thanks

[@LilFaith90]

Excellent video very helpful!

[@marilynmalaya8441]

Will it aggravate my bunion / big toe arthritis if I do standing calf raise?

[@peerzechmann5253]

You made my day! Thank's.

[@HT-Physio]

I'm glad!

[@lucilleturpin4991]

Are we supposed to do all those exercises or select a few that we favour and do them every third day. I always wonder about that because I have been over exercising and have put myself on a one week break. I was aching everywhere and had trouble functioning and walking. I was burned out. I am 83 by the way.

[@JacksonAllers]

Will what if you are just getting back to fitness and through injury and lack of use through covid you cant even do a calf raise? I guess proceed through the first two until you can have enough strength to begin lifting up? Thank you for your instruction ❤

[@vaishalip6452]

Will, I have a query. Hope you can guide. My mom who is 80 yr old, while walking, holds on to both my hands and in the process pulls them. As a result my wrists have been paining. I have tried oil massages and sometimes hot fomentation. Can you pls suggest what I can do?

[@jodyjackson5475]

These are great ❤

[@armi4276]

May I know why my front thigh hurts when I walk?

[@AdrienneSheddan]

Thankyou very much

[@sguptamallick]

Great advise. can one do these with knee OA?

[@manjushamishra5849]

Great. Can you please suggest for a strong waist and what is the proper way of bending forward for lifting viz a filled bucket or some heavy package etc ?

[@HT-Physio]

Great suggestion for another video!

[@manjushamishra5849]

@@HT-Physio thank you .

[@vaishalip6452]

@@HT-Physio Thnx...we look forward to the video

[@rubynaanybur6644]

What about weak thigh muscles?

[@cat-tzu1234]

Thank you for your guidance. I notice that you are in socks. Is it necessary not to wear sneakers, etc.? I get that with a resistance band shoes can cause a rupture, but what about calf raises?

[@HT-Physio]

Good question, all of these exercises can be done in shoes (which is what I would start with)

[@danieIIIe]

That's cool. A twenty something physio specializing in 50+ fitness. By the time he's 40 he'll be an expert.

[@holywow7792]

Cant focus on what he is saying. His good looks are very distracting 😅

[@Wee162]

Objectify much? If it would be inappropriate to comment on a woman’s appearance in a professional setting, then it’s inappropriate, condescending, degrading and unprofessional to say it to a man.

[@tyronearnold7511]

[@helmhurst]

bare chat for 4 mins before we get to the actual exercise.

[@jadeflon]

Great! Very useful and clear information. Thank you
