Is there any new ways to deal with tmj because the previous one was 7 years ago

[@TheLolacat1]

Hi Bob..We miss you very much.

[@rebeccaharp3254]

I'm 70, for several months I'm off balance all the time, especially if I turn slightly to the side my body just wants to keep on going. No car, I walk everywhere. No walker. Thank you for the program.

[@BobandBrad]

Thanks for watching, be safe!

[@rebeccaharp3254]

@@BobandBrad Thank you. Next month I have an annual physical. I will tell my doctor all about it.

[@ChittarupaYoga]

Yes, make sure to stay safe with your movement.

God Bless you Bob . 🙏🏿

Thank you Bob!

[@callmepr117]

I like the “marching” idea thx guys!!

[@ChittarupaYoga]

It's an awesome way to move and turn.

[@SheenaHolly]

In the house keep clutter off the floor. If you are outside walking please watch where you are going, Its easy to get distracted by a neighbor, a car, a dog, your cellphone, etc. Always LOOK in the DIRECTION you are walking. Do not turn your head as you walk, you might step badly. I walked off a curb and fell as I turned to wave to a neighbor. It didn't end well.

[@patriciabennett1819]

Such a helpful way to prevent falls.

[@mombirdsong]

Hi, Bob. Love that smile!

[@cheapers1952]

50 plus years ago I met a retired postman in his mid-1980s he had gone up and down stairs all of his life he walked slowly but he MARCHED every step that he walked so the marching process does work it physically takes more effort which in myself I see that to be true thanks for all the great information I'm sure seniors really love you guys

[@mrs.shirleyhunt4899]

Thank you Rochelle Shaunelle for sending me here!! Hi Bob and Brad!

[@ChittarupaYoga]

Awesome! I work in senior living and so many people have fallen lately. I have been teaching them exercises to help prevent it. Thanks for some options.

[@mddell58]

PROBLEM is, when many older people are going to their chair, they have a lot of pain, & really need to sit down pretty quick. For me, I feel as if I'm going to fail at just getting there, & need to hurry! (Was this video (same thing) already shown about a month ago? Feels like Deja vu. )

[@ChittarupaYoga]

The pain is something that factors in. Making sure the chair is there first and that you're centered so as to land on it squarely.

[@pleiadesneptunes]

watched this for my mom, thanks! not just helpful for sitting down, for moving with a Zima in general!!

[@Leticianieto40]

Should have seen these a few days ago. I fell a few days ago on the sidewalk. I’m all bruised and sore.

[@lindaritter1343]

And me crying with the pain 😢

[@donnagarner6007]

My feet feel so stiff! They just don't bend and change position as well as they once did. If I stretch them and massage them, including toes, they work better. Maybe you guys could tell me why I get so stiff during the night. I wake up every 2-3 hours b/c of my bladder, so I'm not immobile all night. You guys are the best, Bob Brad & Mike❣

[@chrisdonovan8795]

I find the biggest problem with my 96 year old mother is that she leans and reaches for everything instead of positioning herself near her objective. It's not fatigue; it's carelessness, or perhaps frustration. I have over three decades of experience in Judo, so I actively think about balance, but I think that regular people just don't.

[@maggiegarber246]

I am 75 and for me, it’s my mind telling me I am still as agile as I was when I was younger. I have to constantly tell myself to be careful.

[@chrisdonovan8795]

@@maggiegarber246 Thank you for your sharing your experience. I'm nearly 55, and have developed osteoarthritis in my hip. Even though I'm aware of my range limitations, I occasionally get stabbing pains while moving.

[@corinneguilmain8710]

Could you please show us how an elderly person would move from the wheel chair to the toilet? She is able to do this but with great effort. Her feet get dangled up.

[@Yadkin]

A problem i have seen in elderly/disabled is the person will get to the chair, and instead of sitting carefully, they will flop into the chair instead of using the muscles to sit.

[@BobandBrad]

Yes, that is a huge common issue!

[@Lauren-vj6mc]

I see the visuals have received an upgrade

[@poi4ever121]

Great advice to march!!

[@KKissinger72]

I'm 70, but still surfing. The only falling I do is when I wipe out on a wave. My Dad's multiple falls when he was in his early 90's ultimately killed him. We believe it was a staph infection that went internal when he was 93. It resulted in Sepsis, which is a blood infection. He died peacefully at home with family around him. I tried to convince him to walk with a cane or a walker, but with his stubborn vanity he wouldn't consider it.

[@rider3560]

Hllo sir, I want to get advice from you . I have shoulder imbalance my left shoulder is higher than the right one. I am doing exercises for it but when I go to sleep, i don't get the idea that which side should i sleep most , The Left side, or The Right Side. It Would be helpful If you can reply Sir. Thank You.

[@bamafaninky861]

What if you can’t feel your legs? I back until I can’t anymore. On walker.

[@shdwbnndbyyt]

How am I most likely to fall.... Walking the dogs into the dog park or around the yard when the ground is muddy or icy.... That has been how I have fallen over the past several years... Two doggies between 14 and 18 pounds on a Y-leash jerking (SQUIRREL!!! or KITTY!!!) and/or pulling in random directions and my cane (used as an anchor support when walking said pups) slipping, then the foot of my good leg slipping, then down I go... usually on my butt or on my knees.

[@climateanxiety2825]

Get your dogs trained, and wear shoes with good grips is what I would recommend. I'll leave the physical therapy stuff to Bob and Brad. But the pups won't get walked at all if you break something.

[@shdwbnndbyyt]

@@climateanxiety2825 Do not have the money for training besides what I have done, and SQUIRRELS!!! cause both to react, Kitty causes only the 8 year old to react... UNLESS it is icy or muddy out, it is not an issue, and I avoid that. As for bone breakage, my bones are still measuring as strong as they were in the 40's, I just have one bad knee from old injuries all on the same leg (starting in 1977 at age 16, in 2019 was diagnosed with a meniscus tear and folding under of the meniscus so had surgery a few months later). I can still pick up and move over 400 pounds, as long as I do not have put all of my weight on my right leg.... Walking, carrying over 50 pounds is nearly impossible. Funny though, I sleep on the floor, and every morning I use my "bad" leg to stand up, although I do use a table or chair for balance just in case.... It is still my "Stronger leg"... always has been... just a lot of twisting damage over the years.

[@climateanxiety2825]

@@shdwbnndbyyt Then train them yourself. Donna Hill is an excellent trainer on You Tube. She is actually a Service Dog trainer, but since they have to be well trained for disabled people, the methods still apply. And that would be free. She also has online courses that aren't too expensive. Your dogs should be trained to at least walk on a leash correctly, and yes, to ignore squirrels. How they behave is your responsibility, so you can't complain about them if you aren't willing to train them. As far as the rest, I only responded to what you complained about.

[@scariella1314]

I fell down the stairs 2 weeks ago and broke my navicular bone. Stupid idiot that I am. Air cast boot for 6-8 weeks.

Hope you feel better soon!
