I had such bad seat belt injuries (it saved my life twice!) so that I lost the use of my L arm. Thoracic outlet surgery removed my 1st left rib, and lots of good therapy restored my arm and hand ~90%; but add a total pelvic reconstruction, and I have a really hard time doing Bridges at all. I am pain free most days, Thank God! I like your variations of strengthening exercises for the body-- Keeping me strong at 69! Thank you so much!

I am a retired day care teacher. ❤and I took my doctor's advice to keep well and until then. I have to get a knee replacement either February or March. I just saw your exercises and some I did for my Therapist for my hip injury. . thank you . 😊

These exercises are just what i have been looking for. I fractured my spine last year and had an operation this April/May and i have had to wear a brace since. I saw the consultant yesterday and he said get rid of the brace and do some back and leg exercises to increase the strength in my leg as i have constant nerve pain in my leg when i walk and i don't walk straight. He also said as my spine is slightly curved so I must sort out my leg strength then the muscles will become stronger for me to walk not lop-sided and push my spine back into place where it should be. So a big thank you for sharing 😊
