I swear Dr. Tobias you seem to know how we feel. The way you think and convey to us is nothing you can pull out of a book. I am amazed at how you know how we feel after having a stroke. Thank you so very much! Have a great week.
Hi Teresa! Happy Sunday! Thanks for checking in again this week. I always love your perspective on things. Your weekly encouragement does not go unnoticed 😊 I hope the tips help you!!
@@rehabhqofficial Thank you very much I think I wish could happen is a waste of workload of the therapist in the rehab hospital was lightened a bit so they could really push the patient because looking back being awesome myself they pushed me but never as far as I could’ve been and the thing I would convey to anyone who’s come home from the hospital and waiting for rehab is don’t be afraid to push yourself at home just know your limits and be safe about it and don’t let yourself make up excuses why you don’t do something I make sure I get a lot of steps every day that’s part of my rehab myself I’m careful about it becauseHumidity gets me more than they used to with all the drugs I’m on but I never give up and when I start to feel down about where I am in my recovery I think about 5 come. From when I was a Hoyer lift out of bed and having to have people dress me like I was an infant and to the point I do everything for myself to my own shopping a separate my pills out I’m thankful that I was the help I was given to get me to that point
Amen
She deals with people like us ALL DAY; EVERY DAY!
Fear is a disability for me. Thanks for posting this video ❤️
Thank you for this! Fear is a big obstacle to my improvement!
Hi Debra! Thank you for sharing this! Awareness if the first step to experiencing real change!! you got this!!
THIS is my single greatest disability post stroke. It triples my spasticity when I go outside.
You are valued and appreciated Dr. T.
This woman is a blessing she never let's me down 🙌🏿💪🏾
You are correct, she is amazing .I have been doing therapy for the past 14 years. She will is without a doubt the most proficient therapist I have ever seen.If I liked Florida,I would move ther just to be able to have her as a therapist! She is the jewel in a gold crown!
@@ronpadlo7301 she's goes in depth pretty good about the body local therapist in my town seem like Every patient is the same.
Thank you so much for this! I believe that fear if falling or what people are thinking of me is stopping my progress mentally. I try walking and my foot or leg locks up I immediately freak out mentally or down myself. Like you don't got it yet?! This video is really helpful in how I will approach my tasks from now on. So happy and thankful for you💫😁
Hi Donta! Thanks for sharing your story. You are not alone. It seems to be a pretty common problem. I can't wait for you to share an update on how you tackle this new challenge 😊
Do you still have spasticity in your leg and foot? I feel like it is leaving my leg, but I still have hyperextension in my knee and my foot points down when I go outside.
The fear factor is real!!
I thought it was just me. So helpful!
Oh I bought the shirt “Actually, I can” and wore it on my hike to a waterfall that used to be able to on my own, but lost a lot of ability since getting a desk job, and many loved and commented on it.
The 6-part strategy for managing fear/anxiety was helpful. Thank you!
In the initial stage, I made an awkward movement in one place, the brain remembered that and every time I would stiffen in that place, as if I were on ice. It helped a little to practice that movement at home, he would stiffen there every time, like a stage fright. It was only after meditation and a lot of visualization gave way. Now only light music helps me a lot as a basis for meditation. Thanks for explaining the problem.
Yes! I am glad that you learned about meditation early on. I am sure it has helped you to get to where you are now. :) thanks for sharing this!
Your ability to understand is scary in it's self. You're good! That itch in your back are your wings coming in.
Yes... meditation is something that I would love to learn.
stay tuned. 😊
Meditation does not have to be complicated. All that is required is the breath and a straight spine, whether lying done ,sitting, or walking. Start with 3 minutes, not 20. When your thoughts start racing , breathe and bring yourself back to your center. The idea here is to lengthen the spaces between the thoughts, not to obliterate the thoughts. The brains job is to think and you will never eliminate thoughts, but you can control the speed of them and how you react to them. ❤️
@@shakywarrioryoga4059 21 days on a respirator w/o pain medication or sedation after a brain stem stroke. Meditation got me through. Well said, meditation is simple and powerful.
I finally got signed up for physical and occupational therapy again
Yay Scott!!! I can't wait for you to share your progress!!
@@rehabhqofficial Do you know I will fight in war and your topic in your latest video my biggest fear is when I go to a store I don’t know the layout the first thing I do is get make sure where things are they need like wine to know where the bathroom is in the store because I want around for two hours in a store in Enjoy myself
I would love to be be back in rehab!
@@glenwest1911 it took a long time with the pandemic to get back in.
Just as just as long as my occupational therapist doesn’t Accuse me of overthinking an assignment again
Thank you for addressing this real element that comes along with neurologic/spinal injury and rehab. This is something I've dealt with for years after my spinal cord surgery was botched and I ended up paralyzed from the waist down for months. The rehab and journey to mobility definitely left mental scars and fear is one of them. I know from daily experience that meditation helps calm my fear and anxiety when I have to go out of my comfort zone. #Meditation 🧘🏾♀️
Not to let your fear define you
100%
Dear Dr. Tara, thank you so much for this 😍😍🙏🙏 I am battling with fear since day 1, mostly fear of falling. Standing free lead to a chain of fear and insecurity, then spastic shot in and then came the panic attack. So I did exactly what you say, plan well, avoid these situations, build safe environments and then learn in little steps. I even moved my home to a smaller place with "furniture pathways" for safe walking exercises. With time, I now do not need any more "furniture touch walking" and love to practice in supermarket isles 🤣🤣🤣🤣 better fall into cucumber glass rows than free falling 🤣🤣🤣 ... just joking ... but this works and gives back the feeling of freedom and security. Walking gets better and safer than with fear in free spaces 🙏🙏🙏 Have a great day in Florida!
Hi Nina! You are dropping more excellent tips this week. I love how you tackled your fear from multiple angles. Starting in the home and combining that adding "challenges" in the community! I don't know what cucumber glass rows are, but I definitely have a funny image in my head right now 😆 That being said, supermarkets are a great place to practice. You can always find an aisle that isn't crowded. And a shopping cart is a great "assistive device" 😊 I also love that you are showing others that it doesn't matter where you start, it is just about taking small steps each day. Chico and I are sending much love to Germany 😊😀🐶
@@rehabhqofficial 🤣🤣🤣 We Germans love sweet picled cucumbers slices, canned in huge glasses, with barbecue and beer 🤣🤣🤣
Fear, always restricts your activity but sonetimes keeps you from risky actions like falling
Dear Dr Tobias... THANK YOU for all of your wonderful videos. Many of them has helped me in my stroke recovery journey and continuing to help me. Right now fear is my biggest problem and it is holding me back. Im going to implement your techniques TODAY in the hopes of training myself to overcome fear. today is the 7th anniversary since my stroke. I was only 32 when I had my stroke. The therapists whom I have worked with r all good, but none of them have the insight that you do. Unfortunately, they didnt emphasis on many of the drills which you do in order to strengthen the foundation needed for walking. but I have basically reverted to the basics set out by u in your videos and even though it is tedious work, I soldiered through and already seeing the positive differences in muscles and movement and stability. I wish I had somebody like you as my therapist. I think you are great and have a wealth of knowledge which will only improve stroke victims lives to an exceptionally high degree. I hope you will go strong and only grow stronger in your work and life which will only help others. God bless you for taking the time to help others in a vulnerable situation after stroke. Lots of thanks and appreciation from sunny South Africa
As usual another very informative and inspiring video, the range of your knowledge never ceases to amaze me. Never in the entire time that I was in PT/OT have heard anything like the information you provide. And yes ma'am # meditation
Hi Fred! Thanks for watching and thanks for the kind words. Stay tuned for more #meditation tips! Have a great week. :)
I have been living with multiple sclerosis after a diagnosis 2 years ago. Thank you for this ❤ I feel like you were speaking directly to me Tara!

THANKS NICE TOPIC..
Very helpful..having MS and having had a THR on both hips...thank you. Overthinking is my nemisis.
Thanks for watching! You are not alone. Just keep going and work on that breath work! You can do this any time, any place, no equipment needed :)
As always very informative video.Thanks Dr. Tobias
Hi Ronal! great to see you here this week. I hope it helps in some small way to get you one step closer to your goal!!
I'm excited to say that I had success following your outlined advice with the managing fear/ anxiety difficulty. Thank you so very much
Hi Loretta! I am so happy for you! Thank you for sharing this. I LOVE learning the success stories!!
dr tobias we love u bless u.
Hey Dr. Tobias that was a awesome video and it touched on everything and yes I want to learn how to meditate!
Hi Michelle! I am so glad you found this one helpful. I am excited to share more about breath work and meditation. Stay tuned!
Couldn't agree more with this info from personal experience. Breath work is indispensable!
I sound like a broken record. I try walking in my safe room unaided I.e. no tripod( long shower room with grab handles on either side) & while I feel that my AFO prevents me from performing a good walk. I visualise my technique, I.e.heel strike, toe flexion. I do squats to promote dorsiflexion assisted with foot heel flat on ground at home. Might be drifting off subject matter but would Botox in gastroc muscle improve this . I attend pt weekly & he is working on dorsiflexion stretches.I am 8 years post stroke with left side hemiplegia. Your vids are so invaluable & have played a huge role in my recovery. Thank you from the bottom of my heart dr. Tara
Thank You so much for Your informative video🤗. It's true in my case! I hope this will help me😘 ( and all others). Thank You!
Hi Irena! I hope it helps!
#meditation, breathing# overcome fear. Thank you
I would love some videos on breath work. Thank you 🙏
#meditation, thank you Dr. Tara
Hi Denise! Great to see you this week!! I am excited to talk more about meditations/breath work. I think it is such a valuable tool. Stay tuned!
I am very interested in your experience with meditation.
Thank you for all you do for us.
Bob
Hi Bob. Will do. Stay tuned!
Please give me more videos on overcoming fear/spasticity when outdoors
Hi Tara. I would love to do the meditation as I do suffer from anxiety, fear and stress. Thank you 😊
I will be one the lookout for a video on meditation!
Ive hemerrage stroke and have done sergery and its been almost 9 month im 30 yrs old,half side is paralized but i can walk now, not same as before ,can u tell me how much longer will i need to recover my hand and leg,i walk 1 hr a day,will i recover after a second sergery?
Thanks for watching and for sharing your story! Everyone is different. It comes down to just taking one day at a time and doing what you can to keep getting a little better each day. Hang in there! You got this!!!
You can do this. Never mind how much time it takes.
The worst for me is crossing busy streets. Unexpected revving or a car that pushes onto the crosswalk boundary sets me into spasms at times. Crosswalks are the worst.
Hi! Dr. Tobias. I have been watching your videos for 1/2 a year. I have not had a stroke. I have Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP) and here is my question. If you've had a stroke, which causes damage to the brain and you can restore functions through neuroplasticity and specific pt exercises (which you prescribe) does it also mean that people with HSP (the disease I have), where the long nerves deteriorate, can also restore fuctions through neuroplasticity and specific pt exercises? Really, really looking forward to your response. Thank you for what you do. You're a star!
Hi Dr Tara, thank you so much for everything that you do for us it's truly amazing. Every video of yours is superb n very Informative, I kindly wanted to ask if you can do a video on sensation retraining. Thank you once again 😊😊
Hi Rizvana! Thank you for watching and for your kind words. I am so happy that you found this one informative. Can you help me understand what you mean by sensation retraining? What problem are you having?
Interested in the meditation. I'm a ota/l at a hospital and really want to help my pts more. Thank u for ur info
The meditations please❤️❤️❤️
My mother is recovering from a stroke and would like to know if you have any physical locations in the Orlando area that offer therapy?
My toes start to curl on my involved ( left) foot when I get scared. Of course, then walking is even more challenging than before.
Hi, I had a question and didn’t really know how else to ask but on this video, which by the way you videos are super helpful, both emotionally and in knowledge.
My question was: I had a stroke in 3 areas in my left side 6-7 months ago, walking is very painful and difficult because my feet seem to become numb and swell up with like 10 mins of utilizing them. Is this normal? Who should I seek? Or what can I do at home to help this? Thanks so much for your help!
Ps you have been very informative
Hello your videos are excellent.I need subtitles in español please.
I live in Niagara Falls New York I was wondering if you may know of a physical therapist that practice's you're You're re learning skills as you teach them in this area if so please Let me know
I'm still fearful, like it's not new to me but I'm still scared maybe it because I can't brace the impact or worried I can actually hurt myself.
Hi, ive been having terrible balance problems since 2017 after being confined and being dx'd with heart failure, DCM LV EF
By the way im a Marine and despite my condition i still handle hand to hand combat training and competetive shooting, look drunk tho but get to hit targets accurately. But takes the wind out of me due to the much extra effort needed from not falling over and running from point to point... hope to slowly get back to how it was before. Thank you.
Hi dr when i want and swing my leg my trunk lean taword the swing leg plz help to khnow my pb
Hi, please help me with this - After Brain craniectomy (surgery due to stroke) performed on my dad, I can see fluid collected in the area of surgery and it feels like bubble, how long does it take to go away? I am not worried about this! Please help.
Dr. said it is just fuild it will go away soon..
Hello. Can i ask what will i do every time i straight my legs its difficult im having pain in my knee
Oh i forgot. I just operated laminectomy.
I am sainovial sarcoma patient
I have been exposed to radiation in the pelvis due to swelling in my right leg in increasing
The doctors has advised that i will have to see a physiotherapist
Leg will come in the normal shape with physiotherapy
Can yo tell me any exercise which I can do at home now
I didn’t not have a stroke, but I had a girdlestone procedure. What’s some get videos for me
Thanks for watching! Most of the videos on this channel (at the moment) are focused on movement problems that have resulted from damage to the brain and/or the spinal cord. That being said, I think the going through some of the standing and stepping progressions can be beneficial for general leg weakness that has resulted from other conditions. Check out the walking playlist. I hope that helps
Yes more breathing exercises would be good..
I am about 6 months after a stroke: I ca move my hand and fingers however my arm still wants to move away from my body but I still don’t have much control what do I do? I’m also starting to look like skeleton and part of my face is still numb any suggestions?
Everything on left side is still tingly
❤❤❤🙏
Hi Tyrell! good to see you here this week. I hope this helps!
Hi Dr, my Dad had a hemorrhagic stroke (it was a massive) he survived, it’s been 2 weeks in ICU still there is no purposeful moments, since last 2 days he started opening eyes and blinking it and reacts to pain on both hands & legs (I believe it is vegetative state) how long will it take for him to at least get conscious and do purposeful moments?
Please guide!
Depends on age and effort you put into rehab.i had massive stroke after a surgery at the age of 55. I'm still at it after six years. I can walk without cane outside. But hand still is not working. Hope this helps.
@@virtuosoproductions4589 thank you so much for the reply! :)
@@HarshPatel-xm7zb no problem. You can ask me any question regarding rehab.i was in medical induced comma for 3weeks as my brain started swelling. I worked very hard doing 3 plus hours of rehab, 5 days a week. Just week working on it. It does come back, but slowly.
@@virtuosoproductions4589 how was the initial weeks? My dad is not 100% conscious yet. Does it takes time to be conscious? He moves and lift his right hand and leg occasionally on bed (he is in hospital) it’s been 16 days now!
@@HarshPatel-xm7zb I was in medically induced comma to prevent my brain from furthermore damage. Seems like your dad is waking up and should be up soon. I'm not a doctor, but seems like hes on his way to waking up now.
Dr Tara, I like to know more about meditation. Thank you
Hi Ken! So glad to see you back in the comments. 😊 Stay tuned!

I have fear of not being able to use my dominant hand again.😰
Thanks for sharing pieces of life! Hang in there. Maybe think about setting smaller more achievable goals. I find that sometimes "overwhelm" can make fear more pronounced and in some cases have a negative impact on progress. You got this! Do not give up on that arm 💪
#medatation Please.
Stay tuned! 😊
I have to make myself breathe as I’m walking
Yes Steve! Breathing is so so important :)
@@rehabhqofficial when I breathe the bizziness goes away
@@mrstevek118 right? I feel ya. 😊
@@rehabhqofficial Breathing calms me down when walking, helps my anxiety
I see you changed the name of the channel.
Hi Glen! Yes, I didn't make a big announcement yet, but there is some rebranding currently going on. This channel is becoming more than just what I can offer in person. Stay tuned for more info on this!
My first year I didn't have much fear of anything( after waking up with half my body paralyzed basically dying.) what could scare me now). I did fall.... ALOT though. Never got hurt, other than my pride,through the grace of God, so I can't recommend being completely fearless. My problem is that when I visualize myself doing things I don't visualize my body having any kind of deficit. So when I go to do that activity I have to start strategizing in the moment and that often leads to disappointment that I'm not as far along as I thought I was and I hate having to compensate with my un-involved side because I know that's not helping me recover and is actually making things worse..
Hi Jon! Thank you so much for becoming a member and for sharing your story! I am sure so many people can relate to your story. The most important thing is to focus on the progress you are making. You may not be where you want to be but I am confident you are not where you started. 😊
