Thank you so much 2years since my stroke.
These stretches are they first sign of relief I have had in 9 months. I do have frozen shoulder from the stroke and this was exactly what I needed. Thank you!!!! ❤❤❤
@RosaBrandDesigns I'm so glad to hear it! ❤️
Wow. I had that. I went from not raising my arm to lifting weights months later💪🏽tfs
Thank you for another valuable lesson. All your videos have been a huge help in my stroke recovery.
@johnspisak, Thank you for your kind comment. I'm so glad to hear it❤️
Excellent explanation
I thought I had a frozen shoulder.I went to the doctor who sent me to a physical therapist . That said it was calcium buildup from not moving it. He gave me a big hug with my arms across my chest, that broke the calcium, and I never had anymore pain and my shoulder was free to move. I now continue to move around stretch it daily
@stevekierstead, Wow! I'm so glad you were able to get it corrected so quickly!
@@PostStrokeOrg ❤️ me too, cuz I was in a lot of pain
Fabulous exercises. Definitely helpful with both pain and increased mobility, and very nicely explained and demonstrated.
nice simple yet relaxing thank u :)
I can see that this will help me immensely. Thank you. It's 4.5 months after my initial stroke.
You are so welcome! If you feel comfortable sharing, how are you doing since your stroke?
@@PostStrokeOrg I'm not terrible. I have fears of another stroke, but my doctor says that hat on my current medicine I shouldn't worry about another one. im waiting for my hand to return to strength and motion and also waiting for a physical or occupational therapist. I do carry things🧈with my left hand but sometimes I can't because I'm using a cane. My right leg(affected side has gotten better but I'm dealing with osteoarthritis in the left side so it'll be a while before I'm able to comfortably take a long walk. I'm hoping to get a hip replacement in a year. It's important to get some of my life back. Thanks for asking.
I do shoulder rotations and shoulder stretches daily.
Keep going, moving and stretching
today my will to life enhanced. I got my errection back well not maximize state but surely it was enhance my spirit.
Five days ago my shoulder "froze" for the first time. I'm in my 6th month after the stroke. I was hurting intensely and thought of your exercises, so I looked for a "frozen shoulder." So glad I did! Last night was the first time I tried the exercises, and today I noticed a lot of my shoulder and upper arm pain was gone! Wow---I was amazed that I would see improvement so fast! So I came back this evening and went through the exercises again. How often should I do these each day---once or twice? I don't want to to hurt myself by "over doing it!" I am so very grateful for your videos!!!
I’m so glad to hear it was so helpful for you!! ❤️ because I’m not treating you, I recommend reaching out to your doctor or therapist for specific recommendations based on your situation!
I love this video so much. My shoulder is one of my problem. I will use this to strengthen my shoulder. Thank you Elyse for posting this.
You are so welcome! I hope you continue to find it helpful!❤️
Thank you,All your videos are help me
@ahmeddaanouni, You are so welcome. I'm really glad to hear it ❤️
SUPERrrrrrrrrrr, THANKSsssssssssss
So welcome!
When I yawn my arm goes up involuntarily. No pain just a short circut somewhere.
@kylemengel, Do you have spasticity or high muscle tone in your arm? I often see involuntarily movement, particularly elbow bending and fingers clenching with those who have spasticity when they yawn, sneeze, etc!
@@PostStrokeOrg My index finger tends to curl up but I can extend it. I don't have a lot of tone in my arm but I have to make a conscious effort to keep it down. I can put 5 pounds over my head on a good day.
My father had a massive right fronto temporal haemorrhage. It's been 6 months . He is recovering slowly. But he has stiffness on right shoulder joint and while doing physiotherapy he is feeling a lot of pain . How to deal with pain and decrease this stiffness simultaneously?
Would love if you gave wrist exercises for hurting wrists during stroke and also how to brush long hair or any hair tricks of the trade would be nice
@nikkicicero, Thank you so much for the recommendations! Added to the list!
Hello Mam can I ask you to send you your booklet on stroke recovery. I have heard your lectures on stroke recovery. You are good 😢one. Most of the people give up after short time. You are good one, don’t loose your hope and heart quickly. My left knee has become 11:03 painful Any exercise make it better. I want to donate some money how I do it. Thanks. !
I am OT with NDT certification. This looks good except I never get pts to bring arms across or in front of chest as most of them have tight pecs.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
My father is sufferig from stroke since almost 1yr but couldnt get enough power in flexion of knee and hip joint that why he cant elevate leg duringwalking and he also feels pain in shoulder joint during abduction above level of shoulder so kindly about these two issues...
My right hand/shoulder is very heavy after I had a stroke. What should I do dear Docter,please let me know 🙏
What other exercises are for the inner shoulder, just above the breast where your bra strap passes still feels numb.
Can I have online class?
If the affected arm doesn't move on its own for the pendulums, do we use our unaffected hand to help move it?
@carrieA, great question! See if you can use the momentum of your body to help move your arm. If that doesn't work, you can use your unaffected hand to help move it 😊
Good morning, Precious. Curious.... my dad was recently admitted to a nursing facility ( just for a little extra level of care he couldn't receive in indie living ), and one of the therapists recommended botox for his arm that has been curled for years. I'm curious to know your thoughts, if you're familiar with the treatment, if you've heard of it working on advanced cases, or not working, etc.
@kodiakwild, really good question. I'm definitely familiar with Botox and have seen it work pretty well for a lot of people. It's definitely not a long-term fix. Injections are typically done every 3-4 months to maintain the effects. Does your dad have a neurologist or physician that sees him at the facility? That would be the best place to start a conversation. ❤️ I hope you both are doing well.
@@PostStrokeOrg Oh, he has a primary and an oncologist....dad's got all kinds of doctors 😂 And we've already consulted with the doctor who would administer the injections. I was just wondering what your take was. As always I appreciate you, dear 💖

What can I do in thethaw8ng stage exerç8seß
My stroke was in twen5y 5wenty
My shoulder on my opposite arm of stroke side is the one so very much hurting ! Should I continue trying this exercise?
@catherinemackenzie, Unfortunately, I can't answer that because I don't the specifics and I'm not treating you. I'd recommend you reach out to your doctor to get some clarification. As a general rule, I recommend not pushing through pain.❤️
Merci
De rien❤️

Your videos are not realistic as you are not a stroke patient and your limbs don’t have limitations
Just do. Stop talking so much
