Hi Nathan YOU ARE THE BEST!! I had a stroke nine years ago and NO ONE has taught me how you've taught me. I think you are awesome and heaven sent you to help us with strokes. I have always gone to my physical therapy and done my exercises and whatnot but I never could find someone who made me feel like I was getting better. I can actually say I AM GETTING BETTER!! I cannot thank you enough and I am telling everyone that you're the best physical therapist I have ever been to. God Bless You Nathan!! Carolyn

Good morning, every time I get up in the morning, my leg muscles contract. Each day i feel it becomes heavy and feel sensation of coldness what is the best thing to do aside from stretching with knee bent toward my chest? Appreciate your advice.
Hi My father have body stroke upper and lower limbs.. He could not walk and even sit and stand. Please help me how he recovered fastly and told me best exercises
Sir my right hand fingers are curled up . The bones on knuckle are stiff so my fingers don't open. Can you help. This happened after my pelvis surgery. I have become weak. Thanks for your demonstration.
Hi good morning. I had brain haemorrhage coming to 30 years. My 2nd finger on my right tends to curled in when I am stretching. Need your enlightening. Thank you!
I’m in the same situation . I suffered a massive stroke 13 years ago, and still having to cope with a clinched fist and a stiff elbow that won’t move, no matter how hard I tried. When I asked my regular doctor about undergoing more rehabilitation, their answer always go out of the back window or the back door and having private insurance, HMO will barely pay for the necessities. I wished that you were my therapist and that you could help me. Also, my last question is, do you have any features for a person that suffers from the footdrop syndrome because I still walk with a severe debilitating foot drop? Thank you so much and I am a new subscriber. And by the way, I also have congestive heart failure, and you have featured video to help me and enhance my quality of life! You’re truly a gem, and a life saver!☺️🥰
You might not have a true foot drop, but is spastic foot and ankle. It needs to be stretched, and it is best that you wear a splint for a sustained stretch.

Hi I am from Mauritius. I had a stroke in july. I can now walk again but m'y eyes are affected . I can watch tv but i cannot read easily. What to do. Help
I had a hemorrhagic stroke 10 months ago in my right arm, hand and foot. After watching your channel, I can walk again. I just use a cane or walker for outside. My right arm has also improved. However, I can only move my right arm up and down, and when I move my right arm, its always in a fist, which means my brain and muscles are miscommnicating. I don't have that range of motion. I'm gonna get botox, and do the arm exercises afterwards since it's my right arm giving me most trouble. Akin.

I have already move and use myfingers butzhe problem is the thumb after 3 years of stroke
Hi Nathan. your video is awesome and very helpful. my thumb can open at certain positions, but curl up tightly at others. How to fix it? Thanks.
Try to mover your thumb with the thumb downwards so it wont fight against gravity. Once you can do that, do ot pointing upwards
