I love the way you not only tell us the WHY we can't do something - the quads need to work harder when the knee is at this advanced angle but you tell us what to do to fix it, at varying levels. I find that being told helps me realise that I'm not broken AND that the easy level I have to start at will be just temporary, just until I am stronger. A HUGE Thankyou from Australia.
There was a time when I couldn't get up from a low surface and if I accidentally fell on the floor (getting things from the fruit bin in the refrigerator), well that's where I stayed 😅. And there was no way I was able to do a proper squat. But with practice doing squats, I got really good, quickly. I've had both hips replaced since I started doing squats and as soon as my left hip finishes healing, I'll be right there doing back at it. 😊
Dear Doc 🎉 following your advice I'm 😂 i can walk straight and i can get up without support my ortho in s.india Calicut was happy on my wrist palate is inserted if you suggest some simple exercises he says i can't use my two wheeler 😢 i can't go out it's already 3 months i don't know what to do do help
love how you present with no extra time and clear explanations. Also, thank you for speaking to us as if we’re intelligent. Some just act as if we’re children. Very refreshing to watch and listen to your instructions.
YOU ARE THE BEST! OF ALL THE OTHER Creators, you have helped me so much because you are addressing the issue of Arthritis, Specifically, please don't go away.❤
Yes, this has been a problem for me. Thank you again for the valuable information. All of your posts are no nonsense and extremely valuable for people like me. You rock. Kudos to you. Sincerely R
Thank you 😊 I've been disabled for 30 years getting older now 61 this is a great exercise goal. It may take awhile for me to accomplish the correct standing but now it's my goal.
I am 61 broke my ankle last year and despite being very active up until then, I had to sit around a lot and keep my weight off it and omg my opposite knee has took the strain and I can't believe how much muscle strength I have lost and find getting up off low seats difficult!!! 😮 I am going to put your leg strengthening exercises in to a routine for daily practice because I am absolutely desperate to get my muscle strength back, I have also had repeated ankle strains so I need to strengthen those too. I used to be a runner and fitness fanatic and ride horses too. Thank you so much for your advice. 😊
You are so right but you are young looks easy but when you start getting older that is where the problem comes I have been working on that but every time I sit down wherever I have to remember to do it the way you are teaching thank you you are helping lots of people thank you blessings
I'm 39 and have seen the arthritis in an MRI of my knee .... Your videos are the first I've seen that really help so that i can still enjoy a good walk. Thank you so much.
Thanks a ton for sharing this vital information as I am struggling after my patella fracture surgery I have been watching your shots as well as your videos posted on net and I feel that you have quite a deep knowledge about physiotherapy and I seriously watch your videos thanks a lot again
Standing up from a chair was one of the tests my physical therapist would do to see if I was getting better. How do you practice standing up from a kneeling position, or squat? I get stuck halfway up
I have lost a lot of muscle mass in my legs in the last 5 years due to diabetes medication. I am only 63, but feel like an 83 year old trying to stand up from a toilet or chair and while going up and down steps. I am going to try these exercises to see if I can get some strength back.
Hello ma'am, I am from India (Hyderabad). I always follow you. You are a gem . I have a transplant below my left knee cap with 4 screws in a row upto the middle shin. I love doing exercises and yoga. Can you show videos for people have transplants in legs? I will be thankful for 🙏🤗😊❤🌹
So thankful for your video clips. Especially this one today. This is a serious problem that happened to me with age. Thanks for your guidance and knowledge!
Thank you for your channel..there's a big improvement on my knees..i could hardly walk like a child starting to walk..sometimes i'll be falling down suddenly😔
Yep. Been using a toilet extender since November 2022. Now I’m doing “sit to stand” and squats and I use that same blue AIREX pad. Sometimes 2 of them. Public toilets are too low. I’ve been taught a few different ways actually - leaning forward - sliding your hands down your thigh - like you’re playing shortstop and stand up. But sometimes - I can’t and go right back down - so I guess in a sense - I’m doing the “partial sit to stand” haha.
If you lift the level of the seat, remember to use a small step to put your feet up while defecating, trying to defecate sitting rather than squatting makes it harder.
Alyssa you are so awesome, I learned from you these days more then 13 tome physiotherapy. My left knee is not good , and right one total knee replacement. Lower seat really kills me
Is a preschool teacher stumbling on this, it's interesting. I am sometimes sitting on a kids chair for prolonged amounts of time, and getting up can be difficult. I will try this!
Many thanks for your guidance. May I ask you if you would like to give some recommendations to help or cure the problems with pain in the lower back area and release the nerve causing… I would be very grateful with any advice, sincerely C.M.
TOTALLY! I can get up from most things, can get down no problem, but if I go onto a short stool or the floor, I have to manoeuvre around until I can haul or be hauled up again. Mine seems to come from my hips though, the front of the hip bone specifically across the lower abdomen. My knees are fine.
I have had two right knee injuries that cause me to have accelerated the symptoms of no cartilage! Now I need to build muscles around my knee. Any other suggestions? You are awesome! I will do your exercise until I can build up! I used to just sit in a squat position on a step stool and I was so comfy, it was what I preferred and now it hurts and I want it back! More suggestions please!
I am 5’9’ tall and I find it can be challenging trying to get up from a too low of a position. The shorter you are, the less difficult it is to stand from a lower position.
@@arthritisadventure Thank you!! (Sorry for the delay, I just figured out how to find my messages and their replies) Your videos are so helpful and hopeful.

Yes this is exactly right!

I've had both hips replaced since I started doing squats and as soon as my left hip finishes healing, I'll be right there doing back at it. 😊
I agree! I hate it when people tell me to keep doing it because it’s right! Thank you!!

My thighs are flabby & weak above the knee.. is there any strengthening exercises you can show us to firm them up?
This is the perfect thigh strengthening exercise 🙌🏼
