3 Most Important Exercises to EASILY Get Up from the Floor

Рет қаралды 178,007

Ай бұрын

...even while being nice to arthritic joints!
It is possible to be able to get up from the floor confidently whether you feel comfortable kneeling and even if you don't. Getting up from the floor safely is one skill that could save your life one day. So if you fell right now or had to get something quickly from the floor, could you do it?
In this video you'll learn from Dr. Alyssa Kuhn, physical therapist and osteoarthritis specialist how to build the strength to get up from the floor. Both lower body and upper body strength are required to do it successfully.
Building the right strength can help you stand up from the floor even if you have knee arthritis, hip arthritis, back pain or overall stiffness. You'll learn how to strengthen the quadriceps (thigh muscles) as well as your glutes and upper body chest and triceps with 3 simple movements.

Thank you for simple exercises to do at home. I recently had a bad fall and physical therapy is ok but this gives me more confidence. I am 80.

SO many people in their 60s and older absolutely fear and dread getting up from the floor! This definitely is a video that should be required viewing of that age group LOL. Thank you for having people who aren’t the perfect size demonstrate your exercises. Also, you might consider having older, grayer and more fragile people demonstrate how they get up from the floor. Thank you!

I up graded my diet to a 100% plant based diet, and, over time, much less pain, better movement, and many of the bony overgrowths are gone. Who knows if that's the reason, but, as an 85 yr old woman, I'll take it.

I've noticed, all these folks that give advice on strengthening your body are young and already fit. You don't see a 70 y/o man teaching how to get up from the floor or a 300 lb. person doing squats. I'm 75 y/o. Keep your weight down. Don't be 150 lbs overweight and trying to work toward a one legged squat. Drop the weight and doing these exercises are 100% easier.

@roadwayrona 12 күн бұрын

Of course it is better to keep our weight down. But also we need to exercise our muscles regularly as they naturally shrink with age. We need strength in order to be independent and to avoid falling.

Another exercise requiring a bit of clear wall space. Was just saying this evening to a neighbor, as we were chatting in the building lobby, that I was going to have to come down to the lobby to exercise - as I don't have a foot of clear wall space in my apartment - and I noticed there's tons of space there. So what if my neighbors all think I'm crazy! 😂 (This is what NYC apartment living is like!)

I am one year post bilateral sacroiliac fusion surgery and literally haven't been able to get down onto the floor for 2 years because I didn't have the strength to do it and really didn't know why. I would be able partially crouch/squat down but there was no way I was able to get back up (LOL). I feel like these exercises (and some of your other videos) will help tremendously in my rehab and are the missing piece to helping me regain my strength. Also you knowledge and compassionate approach are refreshing and greatly appreciated.

I’m wondering if you could address exercises for hip and thigh weakness and also sciatica most likely from a herniated lumbar disk. I do not want surgery ( I’ve already had a fusion and it’s the disk above the fusion causing the problem, and I’ve had a right hip replacement. That is the is the leg with major sciatica) although I have it pain on the front of both hips. I know this is probably complicated and if it’s too much to answer i totally understand.
