Hi Will…these exercises have helped me greatly…such a delight to have again my early morning walks in the park and along the beach this summer..you’re an electronic angel spreading healing and inspiration within the senior community…congratulations on going over the 100k channel subscriptions…a million + is on the near horizon…you earned it your way….❤️……
Thank you so much for the kind comment, really appreciate all the support!
Thanks. Very nicely presented in a simplified way for seniors. from uk with compliments
❤Thank you so much for sharing with us the 4 exercises for the improvement of the circulation of the blood for our legs.Thank you so much!!!❤
Thankyou sir for the wonderful demonstration
Thank you Doc Will. All your exercises are really helping me . God bless you abundantly.
He is a physiotherapist for over 50.Excellent one
These are harder than they look! I am 78 and I can do all except the single leg raise on toes while standing. I can do it with the right leg, but not the left. My left knee has hurt when stressed for years, and my left lower back has had L4-L5 bulges, along with lumbar stenosis. But these are great exercises. Thank you so much!
This is amazing! I spent money with medication that did nothing. I just watched your video and did probably 10 times, 50 reps each. It was like magic, the swelling went away just like that, I didnt even had to do it again. I still can't believe it! Thank u, God bless u. Btw... I just did the first exercise, that's it!
I'm so pleased you noticed such a drastic difference! I hope they continue to prove beneficial for you!
HOLYMOLY these work wonders👊🏻💥🥇😃 ThankYOU
Glad you like them!
Thank you Will. I find your exercise simple and am loving it. So far it does work for me. Thank you so much❤.

Thank you very, very much.
These exercises, so simple to do, are just what my legs need. Many thanks! 🙂🙃😊👍
Thank you Will. I am still working, (68) but through the night my legs ache and disturb my sleep. After watching your videos I have made a plan through the day and eve that may help my sleep😊
Excellent exercises, some I knew others I have added. Thanks so much. See you next time, Susan
Thank you very much young man. You are an Angel sent from Heaven to help me. I have been off sick from April due to knee pain and stiffness. My GP said its due to age because I am almost 65yrs. I have been doing your exercise and am pleased to report the stiffness in my knee is reducing each day.
Thank you so much, lovely man. I will incorporate these into my daily routine. Much appreciated!!❤❤
Thanks for your teaching.👍💪🏻
Thank you Will, Im 75 and just started doing these today. I have bursitis in both hips and herniated discs . So these exercises will be of a great help to me. 😊 much love from Tasmania, Australia 🇦🇺 ❤️
😊😢
Iam 80 years i will start to do it thank
WONDERFUL tips, thanks
A professional helpful video, well articulated and demonstrated in a simple and clear fashion, thanks.🙏
I need this information for sure. I have poor circulation which causes me to have low blood pressure... especially in the morning when I'm just standing. Very helpful exercises when I have to sit or stand for a while when I'm out and about!!!
Sorry to hear that but hope the video helps!
Thanks for these helpful tips.
I have been doing three of the exercises that you mentioned in this video, for quite some time now.
Thanks for sharing them again. Regards
Thank you Will for explaining these exercises in simple terms. You're a lovely lad.
Thank you...will certainly try these simple yet effective exercises you demonstrated
So well.
You have a great ability to communicate clearly, explain benefits well, and demonstrate well. Thanks.
I just discovered your channel, and I’ve already learned so much. Your videos are excellent. Thank you for providing this information for all who need it. I’m sharing!
Thank you I will do this exercise god bless u sir
Truly wonderful exercises for smooth flowing of blood through legs! Great 😊
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. God bless you.
Great advice. I'm trying them as you explained. Thanks for sharing 👍
Absolutely brilliant video! Sincerely appreciated! So glad I found your channel.
Thank you Will, for showing, teaching, helping n educating us seniors on how to improve our mobility via your exercises in your video. 💪👍
Thank you for this (especially) and all your advice for those over 50. I am well over 50 and a certified fitness instructor but after several recent injuries and previous DVT’s (one near fatal), I have been trying various exercises found on TH-cam for months, but trying these exercises, I felt the difference and impact on my circulation immediately. I am sharing with others I know with similar issues and will be sharing this and you with other fitness instructors. I am so glad I happened upon your videos more recently and even one other really good one recently released i saw copied by another PT within 2 weeks (which I found first) but not as well demonstrated or demonstrated in a way as good for middle aged, injured or older individuals even though the same exercise. We are taught as fitness instructors to show modifications whenever we teach and you do that well. (Not sure about other PT’s.) Please keep these coming!
Thank you so much really enjoyed trying and doing these simple exercises with you ❤
Thank you for sharing such easy exercises. It will be very helpful to many. 👍👍👍
Thanks so much, I followed along with you and will continue to do these regularly, hope it works
thank you, great information.
Love your videos. I used to exercise every single day, i was in great shape. But now i know my limitations as i grow older. Thank you for the tips for people over 50. Great job! ❤
Thank you for the detailed explanations. You are a fantastic teacher. 👍🦋💐👏
Thank you ❤ this video having to remain inside due to extreme heat..a much needed exercise!
Thank you. You're a truly fantastic Godsend, I'm very glad I stumbled upon your channel, I wish you were located here in Australia! Good cheer and happy fortune attend you, many thanks from Melbourne, Australia.

Thank you for this simple but effective exercise for a Senior like me . Loved bed it 👍😘
Still recovering from reconstructive ankle surgery in last December..(73yrs old)..I needed this reminder.😊❤
Thank you Will. You're advice and exercises are simple and straightforward. I love how you not only explain the exercises but their purpose for which muscles they help. I found your videos about a month ago as a suggestion by TH-cam from some other health videos I had been watching and I'm so glad I clicked. I've been trying some of the exercises and stretches the last few weeks and I am already feeling the effects and getting benefits. Keep it up!!
So pleased to hear that and thank you so much for the kind words!
😊my legs hurt at night thanks! It helps so much
Thanks for this. I am 81 and use a cane for balance and have been doing yoga for many years. Also walking my fog 2x daily. But. Knee injury slowed me down. Glad to have my cane misuse addressed and know that my exercises are actually correct. Thanks again.

In india there is a special treatment to put bulged disc back to normal position. It seems your problem starts from. My wife had a problem like this with L4 , L5 which is solved by this treatment.
I know everybody’s experience is different, but if I may share my own experience, at 46 years old, I had thrombophlebitis, which is a lot like Deep Vein Thrombosis, and it came on after a short period of inactivity, recovering from an eye operation. I decided I would slowly get back in shape by doing deep knee bends (squats) holding on to the back of a chair. I did a few reps, then the following day, it felt like I had a sprained my ankle and I had shortness of breath. I went to the ER of our local hospital. Walking from the parking lot to the ER was quite an ordeal, I couldn’t breath normally, they got me to the ICU straight away, where I received proper treatment. Well, this was 7 years ago, my leg is still slightly swollen and red compared to the other, and I have little blisters that keep coming back. I’m on Eliquis which is a blood thinner, I also take Bisoprolol which a beta blocker. Moral of the story : Watch it with the squats, that’s all I’m saying.
Sorry to hear about your experience! Everyone needs to take their own personal situation into account for sure, thank you for sharing.
@@HT-Physio Thank you, Will. Regular exercise is key, if only walking around the neighborhood. Keep on posting your physio tips!

Hello that is so awesome doing great always bless you ❤️ 🎉🎉🎉
Surely helps everyone greatly,! Tnks ❤😊🎉
Words of wisdom, soul healing.Thanks.
All great helpful exercises. I am in my seventies and a bit lazy at times, but in my old farmyard, I have a door about shoulder height. I catch the top of it and lower my body down and do twenty fairly rapid squats, and find it a great for removing tension from the upper and lower body. I also stand upright and put my hands on my hips, and with my feet apart, I stiffen and then release my leg muscles from my glutes to my ankles about twenty times and also find it very helpful. I am trying to find the best combination because, at my age, using too many could confuse me . Again, thank you for very instructive videos.
You're welcome! Thank you for sharing.
Very clear explanation of the moves and good you give variations to be more challenging.
Glad you liked it!
Thank you, helped me already. instantly!

Have really benefitted from the exercises you are offering. I am housebound and slowly finding all my muscles giving up and I am in pain everywhere - hips, knees, feet. At least your recommendations give me some hope. I have subscribed.
Hi Will
I recently bought your book. I am finding it to be an interesting read.
I'm in my early sixties now and want to stay fit and healthy your videos are informative and you explain yourself very well.
Well done to you young man.
Thank you very much for supporting the book and glad you are enjoying it!
Greatly appreciated n thankful n blessings to you. More power to u
Thanks for your health tips videos which are of great help to me
Thank you, these exercises are very helpful!
Thank you so much forxsharongcwith us.God bless you.
I have just begun to have problems with my leg circulation. I found your channel just in time. I have slacked off the walking and jogging due to an injury which kept me immobile for a couple months.
Man, did that take it's toll.
Now it's time for no more excuses. Thanks for your videos.
Thanks for sharing very educative.
These are the best videos. You are such a bright chap. I love your green socks 🧦🧦
CONGRATULATIONS!..I have seen much progress indeed after doing the exercises that you suggest in your video!. THANK YOU..
Thank you so very much! I work from home and I have found that my legs have gotten weaker because I am sitting most of the day. I bought a blue tooth headset recently so I can at least walk around the house but it's still not enough. I will definitely do these every day!
Get a sit to stand desk that you can raise and lower easily. Autonomous makes some affordable options. A good standing mat with height gradient edges and good cushioning for your feet also helps.
Try to stand for at least half your work day, consider 1 hour up, then 1 hour down and alternate or whatever timing fits what you can handle.
Thank you Will for all your videos, disarmingly simple exercises but effective for this 77 year old. And presented so masterly. I was wondering how to counteract the loss of muscle mass during and following covid, and you have provided an answer. I mentioned the issue to doctors, who did not know the answer. I have two questions if I may: how to measure objectively the success or otherwise after 6-8 weeks, and, if successful in our endeavours, do we continue with the same exercises, or is there a way of maintaining with a ‘lighter’ regime? Best wishes to you and your team from Kuala Lumpur.
You❤❤
Thanks William ❤️ i love you video, and it's easy to do it.
Thank you doc.
Thank you 🙏
Another very helpful video! Thank you, Wil.
You're welcome!
God bless you for sharing this segment. My husband and I are over 60 so we will definitely be doing the exercises.😍💓👍
