Whether it is pain, stiffness, fear, hesitancy or lack of confidence that is contributing to your limping when walking- these 3 movements will help to address it!

Thank you for explaining how the body moves when we are walking. I have Ankylosing Spondylitis and am in recovery from an extremely painful flare episode that lasted a year. I have challenges in all the joints you described that enable us to walk. I have been cleared to exercise and go to physical therapy finally so will try to incorporate these movements into my daily routine.
TikTok is using your site.
The PT told me that it is knee replacement surgery that will stop my limping , I told him that I do not want any surgery . As I come to see this video,by these exercises, you have proved them wrong. You are well learned and helping humanity. May God Almighty increase your wisdom everyday
I’m so
There are situations when surgery is the best option. We were given brains and not to use them is an insult to your creator. Leaving aside the need for your doctor to make money, esp if you live, say, in the US, most doctors aim to use their knowkedge for your benefit. At least listen to them. Ask for the reasons he/she suggests surgery. Ask about alternatives such as 1 to 1 physio advice.
Dont be fooled by ads for cbd either. The doses are far too low. But the use of your own mind using relaxation and the placebo effect of telling yourself this is reducing the problem is free.
Alyssa Kuhn is a doctor of physical therapy, but not all physical therapists are doctors. Maybe you will need a consultation with an orthopedist.

Her doctorate is in physical therapy! She is smart and very knowledgeable in the area of PT.
OTH, MDs have 4 years of med school, and then up to 3 or more! years as residents where they learn about their specialty such as orthopedics.
Thank you for this. I've put a reminder in my phone so that I can do this every day. I am so over limping around like I'm a thousand years old. I miss walking. 😒
Way to take action! I hope they help ❤️
Is walking a good exercise if u have arthritis in knees
OA of the hip. Already had one hip replacement. Ok. I’ll try it .. just to humor myself .
Absolutely Mind Blown!! I injured myself September 2023, diagnosed with left ankle trimalleolar fracture. I am almost 12 visits in to my physical therapy journey and still felt very apprehensive putting full weight on my left ankle, partially due to mobility and fear. I came across this post and it addressed my insecurity which gave me confidence to try the 3 exercises. I’m shocked!!!! I tried each exercise 3 times, each time paying attention to the mobility of my toes, the position and movement of my entire foot and leg and I immediately started taking longer steps with very minimal limp. Thank you, you are a life saver! Anyone who’s suffered injury or dealing with mobility restriction knows how I feel. It is a physical, emotional and mental journey. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I can’t thank you enough!
Three years ago I was a long distance backpacker, long distance biker, and adventurer. Then I had a stroke. I went through all the PT and did all the medical things I was told to do and I can now walk and open bottles and all the things, except adventure. This was a nightmare and depressing. I gained lots of weight. My hips, hip flexors, legs and back were weak and so stiff. Then a month ago I found your videos and I know its for arthritis but its helped me so much! I think in time I'll be able to get back to adventure again. I can't tell you how much hope and normalcy i have got from your videos helping me. I can pick up things from the ground, i have less stiffness and I have more range of motion in my bad foot. Thank you so much for these videos I know they weren't for me but they have given me pain relief and hope.
Kipbeeg U r such a strong will person I really appreciate it and optimistic too👍
I’m going through the same thing. I hiked all the time and did professional landscape photography and then I had two mild strokes. I’ve had a bad limp for 15 months now from muscle spasticity. I’ve got a lot of pain issues from it too. I’m going to try her exercises.
I had knee surgery done on my left knee four years ago, now the right
knee is acting up but I don't want to do surgery.Two months ago I came across your Vedo, stop limping and I started doing the all the strength exercises, now am so much stronger, thank you so much you are a blessing I truly appreciate what you are doing.
I am seeing great results, and will continue, thank you God bless you 💗
Beegle, all the best, brother. I too like adventure a lot. Both my ankles dislocated. I m forbidden to bungee jumping.As u r determined to return to an adventurous life,& doing sll exercises,definitely you would win. My gut feelings for you. ❤
Best wishes - you can do it!👍
And isn't she so darn helpful!
I too truly appreciate the time and effort you put into all your videos. It is plain to see that you have listened to many patients as you have a full understand of how OA can not only limit you physically but also mentally - losing confidence, becoming pain averse etc. You are helping so many people get their lives back Alyssa. Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤🤗
Thats a spot on comment. Very visable she understands
Thank you so much for the kind words ❤️❤️
Agree 💯🤗
So helpful wonderful videos so thankful for these keep them coming …and those legs wow 🤩
@@TheBelle46- exACTly what I was thinking...ALWAYS thinking when I see her vids
This is absolutely fantastic. I'm a dancer that has had serious foot injuries, limping and other gait, leg, hip, and back problems but I've been to 12 different physical therapy labs in Los Angeles with most graduates from USC or UCLA and I have never gotten one of your common sense solutions from any PT lab.!!! I've turned to TH-cam for help which has provided common sense from around the planet and thank goodness I did that for myself. Thank you so much.
I would love to have you as my physical therapist! You explain these movements so clearly its like your in the room with me! Just subscribed & I've already benefitted from these exercises. Thank you for all your info!😊
You are so welcome! Thanks for the subscription.
It’s really impressive how you know exactly how we feel without having the ailment yourself. I’ve been to two therapists local to my area and while they empathize and have been helpful, they just can’t seem to hone in on my true struggles, despite explaining as best as I can. Thank you for this video, I will be doin these daily.
I hope they can help ❤️
6:18 exercise starts.
My goodness I stared these exercises just two days ago and this is truly amazing
Thanks sweet girl❤❤❤❤
So glad I came accross you. You are so spot on with everything you are saying. What I especially like about your practice suggestions is, that these exercises can be done in any room or outside, without any special equipment or lying on the floor. It is all just so practical and easy to understand. And thank you for your measured delivery. Some other well meaning therapists just talk too fast for me, I suppose when you need to focus whilst coping with your disability, your mind cannot take up additional information at the speed it could without the disability. Thank you, you are ablessing.
I'm so glad you found the channel too! Thanks for the kind words.
I really appreciate your videos. You are just so direct to the actual problems . It gets to be humiliating and depressing in pain a without mobility. My whole life being an endurance outdoorsman. And being reduce to a stick man . And you help so much to regain some mobility and freedom . I constantly tell myself i should have been nicer to old people when i was younger knowing now what it feels like.
Hi Alyssa , I’m 58yrs old and have been told I need a hip replacement 😢 I used to be so active and happy in life but this has taken its toll on my body and mind. Their are days when I just want to give up on life as I’m in so much pain and can’t do the things ii use to. Find it a struggle even to just go out for a 10 minute walk as I’m limping so badly . I’m going to try these exercises to see if they can help me before I resort to a replacement 🙏 if their is anything else you can advise me to help , would be gladly appreciated! Thank you for all your video’s ❤
Daily meditation and prayer helps ♎️
Find FAI Fix Program - listen to their stories! Activate your butt m, medius m, core m. Stretch flexors. Roll every day. Use hitted pad. Biofreeze for the night. Use electric blanket. All of those helped me.❤
I feel your pain. I'm 60 and have pelvic pain doing a simple walk. My right knee collapses in pain spams and my hip buckles. I'm using a cane but not really helpful
Get an MRI on lumbar region. I had same issue as you and was told I needed hip replacement. One leg looked longer than the other. T turned out I had spinal stenosis. The limping comes from sacral of the back per Dr Ennis who has a TH-cam channel. Best advice because if I went with hip replacement I would have had an expensive surgery for nothing. Neither of those hip doctors were good at explaining hip pain / limping and longer leg with turn out foot. So that made me doubt hip surgery was in the cards. In the end I had to have spinal fusion surgery.
You explain the movements and reasons for doing them so well! I am encouraged!
I'm so glad!
This is pure gold! I just found the older version you made a year ago. Breaking down the motions to stop limping makes great sense
Awesome, thank you!
Just found your channel. What's a good first step to getting psoas to release and lift the leg. My hips are super tight.
I am definitely going to be doing these. I have been limping for years. Bone on bone in my right knee. Thank you for your time.
You are so welcome!
I have osteoarthritis in my feet but reasonable range of motion so hopefully these will still help. Im74❤❤
Thank you very much Dr Kuhn for helping . You are a true Blessing 😊😍
You are GOD SENT to help humanity Alyssa. May your breed keep growing.
For Me...the Most thorough and knowledgeable and extremely Explicit....Love You. Blessings from All who are so Happy being here with You.❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much for your support Dr Kuhn!
You’re so welcome!
Wow, I'm totally impress about your explanation to each steps and I did them as you explained. I developed a hip bursitis on my left side around 2 weeks ago. I'm on meds for inflammation and nerve pain. I was given 3 exercises to do as often as I can do during the day. Today I came across your video and decided to add those to my regiment exercises . I feel hopeful that these will help me big time. Thank you for taking the time to share those videos
Awesome Alyssa!! Thanks🤙🏾💯
Saw you but it was on a Nightshift break, forgot where I'd seen you ! Did a deep dive and found you again and so happy I did ! Thank you
I just had my total hip replacement done 4 days ago and BINGO....NO LIMP!! Osteoarthritis is a wicked thing to endure....so happy it's gone. I will, however, continue on with your knowledge and guidance through your videos!! God bless you and for all that you provide with your videos.
So glad you like the videos! Have a great day.
All of your videos are helpful… Thank you so much Dr. Khun ❤️🩹🙏🏾♥️
I felt so light and relieved after your dance work out ..❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for this. It’s so helpful seeing you isolate each movement involved in walking to help us better understand how we overcompensate and make things worse.
Thank you so much for this
Good morning love hope you’re a well i been watching your program for few weeks i been limping and in pain for more than 12 weeks am glad I so you on you tube and slowly am following a lot of you movements thank you God Bless you thank you you tube 🇦🇺💖🇦🇺🐨🦘👍🏻
This is educational and helpful. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Oh, My! I was meant to See & Learn from this Video!! Much Appreciation, Ana!♥
Glad you found it! Thanks for watching Ana!
I am so excited you have addresses this. I saw a video of me walking and I thought omg...I need help and here you are....blessings! Ty ty ty
You are so welcome
This felt so good but it's late at night and I have to go to sleep. I can't wait to do them again tomorrow. I drove as my job for 19 years and I know that really made my muscles unbalanced. Can't wait to build up my muscles
Glad it felt good!
Thank you very much for your lessons.Iam following your gym from Swaziland 🇸🇿 near South Africa.
What can i do if my right knee cannot bend as much as my left knee , it feel so.painful
I had a muniscus tear and i mever was able to do the things i use to with my right leg like putting my right leg on top.of my left but i can put my left leg on top of my right leg and is like that when i climb the steps my right leg doesn't bend normal, thanks for this exercises , i'm going to do them every day, i really want to stop this limping, have a Blessed day☺
This video was so helpful. You broke down some reasons for limping and how to strengthen them. Too bad physical therapists or doctors Ive had, never explain any of this. They have alot to learn about providing effective treatment. It would be nice if theyd explain it so the patient can understand what's going on in their body and know how their exercises would help. Thank you so much!
Thank you Alison. These exercises are definitely do-able. Your explanations are clear and concise and easy to undestand .
Glad you like them!
Thank you so much for this video. It's been so helpful to me. I have a combination of tight tendons, hip bursitis and an old injury in one leg that added up to a persistent limp and soreness. I tried some bursitis PT exercises from another channel but found them so painful I couldn't keep up with them.
The heel lifts and staggered heel lifts worked wonders for me. I couldn't do many at first, but I could see progress -- each time, I could do more. Best of all, they caused no pain. From another of your videos, I learned that my default stance was on one leg and called "hip adduction" and that it wasn't helping my situation. So whenever I found myself getting into that stance, I did heel lifts instead. 😀
I got to the point I could do heel lifts throughout washing the dishes. I realized tonight I could stand still and bear weight on both feet without hip adduction and without pain or soreness for the first time in months or years -- real progress and a big change! Thank you again.
Your explanations and exercises are so different when you speak about opening up the range of motion and quality of repetitions to heal injuries/stiffness is so helpful. Thank you for this video.
Glad you like the video!
You are awesome Alyssa❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️you have very Deep knowledge of your field.. thanks a million times..

Watching this video almost 6 months from a severe ankle sprain and 4 fractures in my foot. PT and acupuncture are helping, but thank you for acknowledging how scary it can be to put weight on that foot. Toe and hip flexibility I am really working on to help with the weaker side that seemed to have forgotten how to walk from using a boot and a knee scooter for months. I will try to do these execises throughout the day to keep things moving (stiffness is the enemy right now). Thank you!
Going to try this. Thank you.
Hope it helps!
Truly appreciate your help.God bless.
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
The excersises are so helpful and delivered beautifully with understanding and gentle encouragement. At last I think I'm on the right track and so glad I found this! With sincere gratitude -Thank you! 💕

That is sooooo helpful! I immediately tried your exercises and can see what I need to work on - specifically. I am more mobile than my confidence has led me to believe, but there are also areas of stiffness that I will start working on. You may have given me back my ability to walk, which is something I love. Thank you.
