Excellent, sensitive presentation. So helpful!

I saved your video and was excited to show it to my physical therapist. I am 60 and have OA both hips bone on bone with painful advanced muscle atrophy. I am always in pain, the hip ball grinds in the socket and I eat Tylenol and Aleve every day. She said your video was great and she was happy about my interest in doing things to help myself, but that they were not tailored to my condition, could hurt more than help and not to do them. I was disappointed to hear that. I am going to keep the video for future as I get older with balance issues. Thank you

Hello from L in Canada. I am still working on these exercises, with some improvements, I’m not stopping,as my balance is poor. I’m 90+ years of age so I have a lot of correcting to do.Plus I have scoliosis. I’m pleased to have found this video. Thank you 😊

Very helpful in gaining confidence after recovering from a bimalleolar fracture to my ankle after slipping over on a wet muddy path one dark might. Many thanks all positive.❤

Excellent program - so useful that there are three levels! Thank you!👏

I am age 83 and believe me, I've had more than my share of physical therapy. You have made this so clear and doable. You got me in a previous video when you mentioned shopping carts...you really got my attention. Im getting a walker and going to my sidewalk quickly. Thank you, so helpful.

Thank you so much! I just found your channel and I love it!😊

Brilliant! I think the last exercise is useful for everyone not just the elderly. Thank you!

THIS IS SO HELPFUL, I'VE BEEN DOING THE EXERCISE FOR MY BALANCE,BUT MY KNEE'S ARE MY PROBLEM,I FEEL ON BOTH AT THE SAME TIME AND HAD TO CATCH MYSELF ON BOTH MY HANDS HURTING MY SHOULDER'S ,BUT MY KNEE'S TOOK MOST OF THE DAMAGE.

I think I’m a little better , I can stay balanced on my right leg the longest,but not for 20 seconds yet . I will keep trying though, and don’t forget I’m 90+ years of age. LK from Canada. Thanks. 😅

Excited to try these. Thank you!

I LOVE THE DRAMATISATION OF EACH EXERCISE. IT IS SO PRACTICE-FRIENDLY. IT IS NOT OVERWHELMING. NOR DOES IT SEEM CHALLENGING! U MAKE IT SEEM SIMPLY EASY! THANK YOU.

Just starting this new exercise, working well, thanking you so much…

Hi I realize I do not know your name , however I keep trying these exercises each day and find I am able to stand on my left leg longer than my right , although not quite for the two minutes. I’m not giving up . Remember I’m 90+ years of age , that doesn’t mean I can’t learn. Thank you. LK. from Canada. ❤😊

Excellent exercises created by someone in tune with an older person's challenges !

Thank you so much, God bless you for your video

Excellent workout! I’ll try it. Thanks

Thank you for the wonderful tips

Thanks so much. I will start doing these exercises.

My appreciation and thanks for your video on balance exercises!! God bless you.

These are life-changing videos, worth their weight in gold. Superb. Thank you.❤

Thank you I still have more problem standing on my right leg than my left, neither are great, but I will certainly keep going. The other parts are easier, but not great. LK from Canada. Also I am 90+ years of age ,but determined to be able to walk reasonably well no matter my age. 😊

So clear and articulate! Thank you.

These are excellent exercises, more difficult than I anticipated. I do suggest that it is important to be upright and not leaning forward as sometimes shown. My PT had harped at me of the importance of not walking or doing exercises leaning forward. That stance is less balanced and encourages shuffling. It helps to engage core muscles, and when standing, imagine pushing upwards through your head.

Thank you so much for this. Fantastic program.

Thank you for these exercises, your presentation is excellent.

I believe I have Improved a tinny bit, I have trouble standing on my right leg very long,I will keep trying though ,don’t forget , I’m 90+ years of age with scoliosis so don’t rush me ‘….I’m planning on going dancing At some point ,any dancing,waltz, boogie woogie,whatever. Are my expectations too high? LK from Canada. 😅😅

Thank you for describing each exercise so clearly that everyone can follow along with your videos. 22:45

This video is a gift. Thank you. (I don’t like to close my eyes and won’t.)

These are the exercises I need for my balance rehabilitation , very helpful videos , thank you

These excersises are great. Im 71 and I have noticed my balance is getting worse. Thank you so much.

very very good !

Loving this video. Thank you so much.❤️

Thank you for the precise directions and demonstrations. I have saved this video to do often.

Best ever instructions for each exercise!

Everything You Say, Is So So True! Your Videos, Are So Valuable, “The Best I Have Come Across” Thank You So Much! MarJie Brisbane Australia.

I’m still doing this exercise, with some improvement, I have scoliosis which pushes me to the left-leaning., so I expect I may take a long time to be able to balance on one leg I will not stop,but I am 90+years of age . I wish to be able to do many things I’ve always done, to the best of my ability. Thank you so much. ❤😊. LK from Canada 22:47 22:47

I find these to be excellent daily exercises for cervical myelopathy. As you say shifting weight on one side when standing on one foot is quite a challenge and helps with my balance. Thank you.

Thank you Sir very helpful,

Awesome and helpful content!!! Just what I need!!! 😁👍❤️👏👏👏

Thank you so much for this, and for actually doing the exercises with the timing shown. It lets me treat it like a class so I don’t have to think about the two minutes.

Thank you!

your video is highly educative. I am 84. After I got knee pain I have some trouble in walking. I feel like losing balance. I will do your exercises. Thank you, Sir.

I want to add this my daily routine

Thanks ALOT. I will try this.

Thank you ... for all your functional informational videos...

This is a sensational video. I'm not tech savvy and don't know how to contact you directly. I'm 89 but am in excellent health except my body parts have worn out. Lots of sports and exercised regularly. I just had a knee replacement and the other knee needs replacement. I think my balance issue is due to neuropathy for which they have no cure (I am not diabetic). My biggest balance issue is "elevation change". I don't have the courage of stepping up or down from the street to the sidewalk and vice versa when I have nothing to hold. I use a cane but afraid I will fall taking just a small step of a few inches.

Excellent workout

You've just given my wife a perfect excuse why I should take on dishwashing duties, thanks a lot brother!

Thanks for that!

Hi I’m so glad I’ve found your channel! Big thank you 🙏 a nasty fall had me feeling very unbalanced recently, but I’m feeling improved slightly each day by doing these exercises. You’re so easy to follow. Thank you 🙏

Thanks!!! 5:30pm

I have Parkinsons & recently had DBS surgery. I know my gait is off & I feel like I am retraining y brain to walk! Your videos are so helpful!

My PT has me do the #4 and #10 leg stand with my eyes closed. Doing what you suggest seems more practical.

Great show as always thank you very much 😊

Mr. Doug shouldn't we practice these 10 exercises barefooted for better balance?

FANTASTIC!

Thank you fantastic

Thank you very much for making this video. I am working with a trainer at the gym two days a week. She is having me do many of these exercises. She also said I should be doing these exercises at home. I am able to do all of the level 1 and 2 exercised. Do you recommend that I only do level 3 each day, or should I also do level 1 and 2 each day? It is great to have the video to insure that I am doing the exercises correctly. Thanks again!!

Thanks. There also also foot lifts I do.

GREAT COMMENTS! ENCOURAGING!

The exercises are great! Actually I found that my balance isn’t as bad as I thought it was! With the sit to stand, as a next step to pushing up with your hands on the chair, I stand with my arms outstretched, rather than folded in front of me. That’s a little easier, and hopefully I’ll soon be able to fold the arms and stand.

I am not happy with the use of cushions on the chair, quite easy for their frail hands to slide off as they push down toppling over sideways or the cushions slide off the chair . May I suggest using an adjustable bath chair, bath stool or even their walker? Love watching your videos and learning even after 45years of nursing, thankyou for making them.

Had a stroke a few years ago. Now at 76 I’m still in recovery. Work every day in our large yard. Take my aggressive dog for a tough walk. Squat and do anything that is tough to do. If it is easy to do I make it hard. Everything Hurts but what the hell. I expect to live over a hundred. Find a way to make everything harder no easier.

I am Sridar jana From pondicherry, INDIA, really your teaching is wonderful sir, I have balance problem after aquesti neuroma, operation that is Cyber knife I have only balance problem sir nearly one year I had walking problem your teaching is more impressive and good Sir, Thank you 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Thank you so much❤❤

i am enjoying your exercises they are very helpful i hadn't realized how much balance i had lost.... i fell in italy and broke two humorous bones and a femur i am still doing pt and now these at home... thank you so much

I am 71 years old. This last February I had a stroke. I woke up with my right side from my foot to my head numb and tingly. I am having a hard time walking. My right foot might as well not even be attached. And it hurts. The thing that makes me the maddest is I had gotten a new car last June and I can't drive it. Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks.

Is there a PDF chart that I an download?

I am new to your channel. Watched a few videos you have on your channel, thus far. They are excellent. You show clear examples, explain everything well. I have saved this is video today and will try these. Hope to be able to do them every day, as you said. Thank you

Great program great teacher thanks. I have Corticobasal degeneration will those excercises slow down the degeneration?

Theank u these excerises are great

Excellent great video

Great balance exercises. thank you.

Thanks for all. Seems important that looking down as he is adds to problem . Leaning forward towards the ground tilts you toward down Thoughts? one stand head chest lid

Very helpful😊👍

Great Video. Many thanks. But have a question. You talk about different difficulty levels but I don't see an indication of which of the ten exercises belong in which level. Thanks again.

Dealing with a genuflects values right knee which takes LOTS of 'work' all day to focus and keep hip/quads strong. Adding these to my list :-). I worked in PT in the 80's-90's and do know the value of these but dealing with the knee pain sure is an emotional battle. TY for putting these out for EVERYone to choose to watch or DO!!

Great video

Great except one very important detail: do not look downward but strictly horizontally so that every movement will be applied and going on from your center of gravity and not more or less above it that obviously break the balance.....

I will try that

First time watching. Very good video

Thank you so much for this information and instruction. I have had several bad falls in recent years. It makes you feel so helpless and it happens without warning. Suddenly you feel yourself falling and defenseless to break the fall. My question: Is it better to use a hard chair like in the video and avoid sofa, easy chairs,etc. Thank you

Soooo glad I found this, just what I need t do& yes I am doing them.U have them very easy to follow them. How is that.

This is great and I'd love to see a handout (hard copy) that I could share with my elderly parent. She has no internet and would love to leave her something in writing to follow. Is this available?

6. Backwards Walking. I've tried walking backwards in our shopping precinct but I had to stop because people were staring at me :(
