During the initial recovery phase, we recommend that you strictly adhere to the recommendations provided by your in-person medical team. Over the long term, use your symptoms as a guide to progress any exercises including the ones shown in the video at your own pace.
I was hoping for something that didn’t always rely on being on my knees? I could provably do a few of the first one but I can’t kneel for long as they both hurt and one is stiff/needs replacing most likely. Can you make a video of other ideas?
Hey Jenny Thanks for your feedback. I hear you, it can be tough when kneeling. We highly recommend practicing with 1 or 2 cushions under your knees. This will support your knees better and allow for tolerance. Let me consult the team and see how we can incorporate your suggestions into another video on floor mobility :)
I was just thinking of finding a way to work on this this morning! Oh my word to do a cartwheel, wouldn't that be awesome? Thank you so much for the progressions, they are just what I need! Now to make it a regular habit.
Often times surgeons may advise for avoidance of kneeling altogether during the recovery period. Over the long term, there isn't great evidence outlining adverse effects of post-operative kneeling. We believe kneeling is an important skill for day-to-day function and quality of life. Unless you were specifically advised against it for specific reasons, we believe it's worth investigating further. Use your symptoms as a guide to see what you can tolerate. Stack pillows and cushions on the floor as needed to help you make the movement easier, or you can try kneeling on your bed first!
these all require using your knees on the floor. You sent me a great video omce which I have .it is for those that have artificial knees and can not toouch them to the floor no mater what. I used to be good at it by getting into downward dog yoga position and then getting up. Now that I am much older that is hard. You used a stool to lift your bottom onto.
Great to hear that one of our videos was helpful for you. Modification to exercise is still a great way to attain health benefits and longevity. Keep up the good work you've been doing, and of course let us know if we can be of any help any time :)
We recommend substituting with other exercises that appropriately challenge your body at the time. For example, standing exercises like the squat, outdoor walk, climbing stairs may be more easier to tolerate than floor mobility practice.
@@bemobilephysio I was talking about getting up from falling. I fall a lot and when I do I have to ring the ambulance to come with their lifting machine to get back up
I am really disappointed- I was hoping these would be something I could encourage my frail brother in law to practice to help him learn how to get up from the floor if he falls, but the starting point is probably beyond him, - I find the starting point challenging, and I am fitter than he is😢
We have another video re: tips for getting up and down from the floor. Finding the appropriate variation is key when starting, and we recommend consistent practice to progress slowly over time. Take a look at this video here: th-cam.com/video/Mtlijbe2F0E/w-d-xo.html
I’m way less strong now and your kneeling is far too painful. I use a cushion and I lean my top half on a solid object and lift the red of me using a bent knee and a lot of pushing. Your video was me twenty years ago! Now I practice bum shimmies across the floor to get to a suitable piece of furniture to take my top half.
Quite out of touch with reality. Drives me crazy that you fitness gurus show off!!! Show us yourself and a person who is disabled doing it to make it authentic.
The advise to avoid kneeling is common, but the evidence isn't prevalent for patients with knee replacements over the long-term. We believe this is a valuable skill for day-to-day activities and quality of life. It's worth investigating further with your doctor and/or local physiotherapist if you were specifically advised against it. Stacking pillows and cushions can be of help (especially as it decreased the distance to descend and provides a softer landing), or you can try kneeling on your bed first to see what is tolerable.
Those exercises are far too hard for me. I am 71, have a knee replacement and arthritis in the other knee. I can't get into a kneeling position even holding on to a chair. It's not so 'simple' as you may think.
We understand that floor mobility exercises can be challenging especially with a history of arthritis and knee replacement. Standing exercises can help you improve your overall strength and capacity for load tolerance. More specifically, resistance training can be a great help in this case.

Thanks for all the videos. Q - how to do this after having knee replacement surgery?

Didn't quite manage the cartwheel but working on it😊
:)
Love the flourish at the end. Totally Jack.
Totally!

We are glad to be of help! Keep up the consistency, and let us know how you progress :)
This is a good cardio workout, too! I love the cartwheels! Thanks for the exercises. I'm going to try this.
Glad to hear it, let us know how you go with the exercises!
Great progression guys! Going to give this ago!
Fantastic, have a good workout and let us know how you go :)
Surprisingly harder than I thought! Guess I’d better add this to my daily exercises ! 👍
Sounds good! Challenge your muscles to get stronger :)
Is kneeling ok following knee replacement?

Thats well and good but what happens when you can not kneel plus have no arm strength from an illness

@@bemobilephysio I was talking about getting up from falling. I fall a lot and when I do I have to ring the ambulance to come with their lifting machine to get back up
My daily practice is just standing up from sitting with crossed legs - no need to use your arms or your knees to take any weight.
That's great!

If you have a knee replacement you are unable to use that knee to put weight on it.
I agree. Cushions under the knee replacement don't really help either.
