When I start ti walk my left leg inner hip where my hip and thigh meet prevents me from stepping forward and is painful.
Watching these videos and all the comments below, has given me so much courage. 😭😭😭😭😭 I never knew there are so many others suffering like me. I swear I will be able to walk and climb up and down the stairs well like I did many years ago.
Reconnected brain to the left leg yesterday, did 400 reps with a large gym ball with the leg on top. Did endurance walking yesterday with the leg almost dragging. Today after the workout was done 500 almost perfect steps. The leg worked great, thanks, you did well!
Thanks for share this lessons🌸❤
Can we use these exercises for MS disease?
Thank you so much for this video . I tried the straight leg raise with bending my foot, and discovered that I was able to bend two of my toes. Yay! One step closer to recovery . 🙏🏻
Your lessons taught to walk the stairs without restingon the wall, helped overcome fear when had to go down the stairs with only a cane.Meeting with you is new step forward!
Please do exercises for wheelchair boumd; I had s massive stroke 2 years ago, I am still improvimg, especially wih a lot of exerciises and healthy eating. I have made major strides with my own exercise program lernedd from all the different therapists I have seen.My shoulder is evem less sublexed. It really took a lot of time and exercise, and I am very excited and thankful. I move my arm better but many times have to adjust the exercises due to inability to lift arms fully. I enjoy yout videos. They are very helpful and apply to me amd my problems. Thanks. I will never take the mechanics of the body for granted again, I'm doing good in spite of being written off for survival.
Kimberly, thanks for watching and for sharing your story. First, YOU ARE YOUR BEST THERAPIST!! I am proud of anyone who refuses to let others define how far they can go and does the hard work to prove everyone wrong. Keep it up. Second, I will be sure to add your suggestion to the list :)
Thank!Your lessons help recover and live! The main thing is never to give up.
absolutely :) 💪
Why should one even think of giving up? What is one's get if he/she quits? It is life throwing it's curve ball, we gonna face it and come out of it stronger.
@@fridayigwebuike5879 everyone is at different stages in their recovery. sometimes it is tough to go through plateaus, set backs, falls, re-hospitalizations....etc. It is easy to get discouraged but I hope that you and others who have found the strength to keep the hope and the faith and the determination will keep inspiring and encouraging those who may be in a different place :) Thanks for your encouraging comments!! keep em comin' :)
the weakness explanation really bothers me. I can literally do single leg squats on my involved leg. not weak. not weak not weak. leg is heavy as hell edemia. yup. weak no hell no
I cannot walk my feet are heavy doctor say I have bad circulation
If i put my heel on a pillow while i m lying down i get lot of pain just below my petula as if a wood is there.
I had a stroke 3 1/2 years ago and over did it last week! I have very low energy and leg heaviness! This was of some help!

Lift heavy leg push forward lifting toes is superb , I started doing let you know result in few days. Thank you
My mother just had a small stroke a few days back. She was perfectly fine when we left the hospital. She could walk alone that night. Surprisingly, the very next day, she said her left leg is feeling heavy and from then on she couldnt stand all by herself.
That made me discover your channel. Will definitely try these exercises. Thank you for sharing your knowledge doctor.
God bless you!
All the best to you mum
This video is very helpful thank you very much
does low protein intake or diet cause heavy legs? whats a good diet or vitimins?
Nice exercise, do you have any tips in preventing your toes from pointing down like you mention in 8:00 because that's really the challenge. Thanks
Thank you for these videos. I’m grateful. Are there any ankle progressions I can do to build up strength? Had a stroke and was making progress but ankle roll damaged the outer muscles and set me back. Thank you again.
Thanks for watching! This video should help: th-cam.com/video/iWEtH-A_6uk/w-d-xo.html
Hi Dr. Tobias Dash can you please label your videos:
Video 1/2
And

Because when I’m going through these I don’t know if I’m doing part one or part two of a series so it’s very confusing and if you could please do that that would help a lot
Thank you very much cuz my physical therapy is soo off and on I hate it cuz I wanna get back to some kind of normal im use to
Hello, here we have to work on the nerve pathway starting from the neck down to the shoulder to the scapula. The scapula is the nerve center next to the leg and you need to release the hips in all directions.
The addition of a 1 kg dumbbell ON HAND will help in the overall process, in fact all the movements must be very delicate and delicate and this is what the nerves like delicate movements
You won't believe it,
I discovered that brushing your teeth and gently shaking your head up will successfully release the neck
I found myself with a kg weight on my hand solving puzzles when standing my body is bent with rotational movements of the hand and rotational movements of the body and thank God.
it works we will emphasize subtle movements it is critical to solveg puzzles for many hours in front of a laptop and the body is bent forward to the computer screen
What if you have incomplete paralysis I can’t move your legs? My daughter was injured eight months ago and has a T 12 incomplete paralysis. However, she can do bicycle pedals and the water and she has four fillings in her legs but outside of the water she cannot move them as of yet what would you recommend please help
Dr T... im on it....how many reps do you suggest?
go more by time. Do it with good quality movement as many times as you are able. Remember, you are trying to retrain the brain. I always go back to the analogy of how many hours we spend in school growing up. Anytime you are in learning mode, repetition is key. I hope this helps. :)
Incredible. I always had heavy and painful left leg starting from my thighs. I tried your exercise and the pain left. Thank God.
Just curious, how long does it take to recover mobility after stroke. Is it months, is it years, or is it never?
There are thousands of videos on TH-cam and none are talking about this. My legs feel like 2 bags of sand. I exercise daily, month after month and see no improvement.
Love thevideo ,I just had my stroke anew months ago
I had a stroke in may and the muscles in my right leg have atrophied badly. Can I build those muscles back to normal through weight training? Thanks.
When l lift my leg bending up..my knee bends outward towards right..not coming straight towards the chest..same while standing very difficult to lift up or bending backwad..any suggestions..
Little dorsifexion is there with little toes having little movement..
Thanks for watching! this is an excellent question. Try and aim the knee for the opposite shoulder. basically over emphasizing keeping the knee pointed more inward. I hope this helps.
I think using the big ball will help to get the hip flexor moving because my leg is so heavy and disconnected that I will need the ball.
Thanks
u make everything clear i wish you were my therapist
Is it common to make a full recovery after a major stroke?
Talk too much. You dont have to explain every thing. Just showed the exercise
The comment regarding weakness is much appreciated. Never seemed appropriate to me.

Great question. I have a video on this that will be posted this week so look for that! Thanks for watching!! :)
I think will help. i had a stroke in 2021. my left leg feels heavy. they did little in the hospital to help.
So glad I found you
My foot bounces what do you do to fix this? Had a stroke 3 yrs ago, could use any help.
Will any of your exercises work for a individual who has spasticity due to cerebral palsy
I had an ischemic stroke 5 years ago. I wished that I had found your TH-cam channel earlier as I had received a lot of "advice" from doctors and physiotherapists, often unhelpful and conflicting. I ended up trying various things on my own on a trial and error basis to find the best solution for me. Needless to say, everything that you have talk about in your videos are accurate, very detailed and very helpful. It would have saved me a lot of time had I seen them before. Many thanks for doing all these videos and I look forward to future videos.

I am fighting severe spastcity it has been 4 years now. I use the pool every summer. Could you do a video on water exercise? I am trying to correct my walk. I'm lucky because I had really strong legs but I thought if I could walk at all the rest would just start but, I was so happy about your video that said that doesn't help. I am trying to correct it but one problem I have is, I am not really aware of my hip. I never was.
Thanks for watching and for sharing! I will try and add this to the list. :)

I started with a back problem and I woke up with a heavy leg I don't know what to do it's been like that for one month
Hey did you find a solution ?
My whole effected side is bigger than the other side. I’m working hard on moving as much as possible. I’m following you and it really helps. My left leg is starting to look like it used to. My left arm looks Like it belongs to Popeye. Lol. With your help I will get there. Thank you. Also I like that you marked your leg with tape. So helpful. 🤗👍🏻
Keep your arm elevated as much as possible. They also make an edema glove which is really helpful after a stroke. Here is a direct link to purchase this. I do make a small percentage if you use the link so if you purchase this glove I would love the support ☺️amzn.to/30hDdXM
Movement is a very key ingredient to stroke recovery. My therapist has told me I probably go overboard but it has helped. I have gone from wheelchair to Walker to Kane have started to walk without kane this has all taken place in under four years after major stroke. My therapist told me from the beginning it would take time & a lot of work but I am starting to see the payoff so don't give in to weariness. I have found these sights to be very helpful in sharing with others in recovery. My continued prayers shall be with you.
In my 35 years of existence I have actually suffered some sickness and ailments but this one called stroke really humbled me and it made me feel like my world has ended but I thank God I'm still living
Thank you Dr its help me a lot😪😭😭😭😭.....
I hope i will survive my half body paralyzed 😪😭😭😭
I have a problem with my hip bone aching when I walk my therapist doesn't seem to know what to do for me. Any suggestions would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!

Frm 2day I will practice all ur excercise.... My question 2 u is can I recover fully??
When I sit down I feel a dragging/heavy sensation from my upper abdomen down to my legs. It's like an anvil for a couple of seconds. Very unsettling sensation. Makes me feel as if my lower half won't move until I get up and move about what could be causing this? I have very bad health anxiety and GAD.
Watching from Papua New Guinea. Thanks for the information on heavy leg. I am a stroke patient and find these really helpful.
Thanks.
I thank you. I suffered a stroke in Oct and sometimes lately felt the heavy leg? I was concerned because I've been doing my exercises and I've also changed my diet I thought I had another stroke... I remember feeling the heavy legs when I was first admitted into the hospital and when they let me out I felt better no heavy legs what's going on with that?
My affected arm is swollen everyday. What exercises should I do to reduce the swelling. I do arm exercises using 2lb dumbbell and theraband .
How can I do this exercise when I have no feeling /control. It seems every one control their leg after stroke where does it leave me I’m not someone different than other stroke survivors. This video upsets me too much. It made feel more helpless hopeless💔🥀
Your explanations are clear and easy to understand. Thank you. I'll keep watching your channel.
I really like this video, I’m dealing with a heavy left leg.. But can you please spend more time on the first exercise with showing us how it’s done? I felt like the first one was kinda fast. But I loved this! Helped a lot!!!! Thank you
Incontrovertible please
Hello I wanted to as a question, I just received baclofen cus my arm and leg got spasticity now since I been taking the baclofen I'm really slow but my leg is not as stiff I want to now is it going to get better or what do I need to get better knowing I'm slow but my leg feels weak
My foot won't point down, ever again. I have a charcot foot and before I had my stroke I could move my foot like everyone else. Then I broke my leg, just above the ankle and my foot was fused to my leg. Then I had a stroke, so I didn't have a drop foot, yet I still drag my foot, though I am trying to pick the foot up. Now my tip of my toes drag on the ground. I will try these exercises though. I have to work on a bed but it should still work. I'm tired of my leg feeling heavy.
Hi thank you so much for uploading such videos. My daughter has a problem walking and your video really motivates me to help her do the exercises in a correct way. Thanks once again and I have subscribed your channel hope to see many more Suh videos again. 👍
Why its feeling havy doc. because of paralysis and the muscles are not working proper. So the musles are weak.
