    I am so glad I ran into your videos, as my balance is terrible. I had Physical Therapy till this Conronavirus got so bad. I had something to offer that might helps others. I am using the door way to do your exercises, as I'm more weak than I thought. I think your exercises are going to be great for me. Thank you.

    I am happy to see some of the exercises I already do. Thanks for sharing these. I've needed these because I couldn't afford therapy after the stroke I had. I've had to learn my own exercises.

    I first discovered Bob & Brad when I started working with seniors in 2020. The whole exercise routine they used was from your channel, same order even. I then discovered all of your other fantastic videos. I now work as a Wellness Coordinator and provide classes in IL, AL, Memory and Skilled. I find everything I need to produce great exercise, balance and fun from your channel. Thanks so much for all you do to strengthen and heal us. We are so grateful for you both, keep on Rockin!!

    First I’m 79. I was having problems with my feet and my balance, where I live in the UK we have streets that are cobbled and I felt very unsteady walking on them so avoided them, about three months ago I decided I must go to the doctor, I decided to look on line and came across a web site that recommended heel and toe walking, I tried it right away, my feet don’t bother me at all now and I make a point of walking down the cobbled streets on purpose now because I feel so confident.

  • @martiejohnson4387
    @martiejohnson4387 5 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    I really have learned a lot from the two of you. You explain things so that we can understand the exercise and why not to do it other ways that might seem easier. You always explain the whys and the what is best and why it is best to do it certain ways. Thank you both for these videos that have helped me more than I can say. Keep up the good work. You surely have helped a lot of people improve their health and lives.

    I started watching your channel last year when I had my first experience with vertigo which turned out to be BPPV. I watched your videos on BPPV and the Epley maneuver. I wished I lived close to you because I knew you could have helped me. Anyway, I did find an ENT in Miami, FL - 4 hours from where I live - and saw him. He confirmed the problem as being BPPV and performed the Epley maneuver. which helped for awhile. But every time I need information and demonstration on any subject relating to balance and exercise, it's you guys I turn to. Your information and demonstrations are complete and more helpful than any other site I have found. I just want to say Thank You. You guys really are the best!

    I just discovered your site! I immediately Subscribed. I use a cane daily, especially now that Idaho is swathed in winter. But I also have a walker left over from a time when I had a spinal compression fracture. I try to use it for stability and support for some exercises. If you see opportunities for your patients to use walker besides chair, please mention. I like your team work and your periwinkle blue 👕 shirts.

    Really helpful video, like most of them. I'd just like to comment that joining a tai chi class is the best thing I've done for my balance. I'm 64+ and the only exercise of yours that I wavered on was closing my eyes and stand on one foot.
