Hi Dr. Tobias just wanted to share I normally have a pretty good attitude despite my stroke at such a young age...33, Milestone dates are usually particularly tough I hit my 3 year mark in 2 weeks, but your support and expertise really keeps me going so I just wanted to say Thank you! God Bless!

Hi Dr wanted to say a Huge THANK YOU in my case after having a stroke super young (22) i was stuck in my progress for the last 10+ years, until now as i know that following😢 your advise ill achieve the rest of my recovery God Bless you! Best wishes for you too!

I walk a lot and as soon as the fatigue starts, the extensor synergy starts, step break with relaxation and exercise with a purple box with and without a skateboard I think will help me. Thank you and have a nice week.

I have years and years of videos to watch. Learned so much in a months time from Dr. Tara!

I have a left side weakness due to brain cancer, and though I don' expect myself to gain full mobility ever again, your videos really help in feeling better

Hey, Tara, Kurt here from Trinidad, 20 months with the stroke and this is by far one of the best videos for my spastic left leg, thanks so much and God bless you tremendously!

Thanks for the the videos .For beginners any specific exercise should be repeated ten times to follow exactly.

Tara thank you so very much for these videos. I have MS and have been battling my legs for what seems like forever. You have given me hope with these hip and walking videos! Both of my legs straighten right out and there is NO releasing them until they relax. Left leg is worse than right leg right now but they can both be really bad. God bless you Tara and thank you again

Tara, you are truly a blessing!!! Thank you so much from Indiana

Hey Tara, have I told you how much I appreciate you? A guy named Maurice

Thank you Dr... I'm close to being smooth and fluid with my walking gait. I want to conquer this as soon as possible. This video has helped me out greatly. I will start implementing these things tomorrow at the gym. Thank you so much and Happy New Year....

Grateful for the tools u share with us weekly 🙌..ur videos have literally rehabilitate my limitations 🙏🏻

Thanks for this video looking forward to trying the resistance band to help with knee and hip movement. Have a great week

So grateful for these videos! I have chiari malformation that has left me with spasticity in my right arm and leg. You have helped educate me on what is really going on, what I can focus on and empowering me to work on it everyday! Which is more than I can say for any doctor I have gone to see. So thank you thank you thank you!!!! ❤

Hi Doctor, I have to say that I really appreciate your videos and find that they are great to watch. 🎉❤

Thank you, Dr Tara Tobias. You are a blessing 🙏😍

hi Dr, Tobias, sy sdh 11 thn penyakit stroke sy tinggal di medan sumatra utara indonesia, trimakasi atas keterangan yg disampaikan dengan jelas dan terarah. thank you GOD bless us.

Wow! thank you for this video! I really like how you broke things down into easy, basic steps to get the neurological connection going. You helped give me language for what I was noticing about my own walking/running. I’m 26, played soccer all my life and I learned it’s quite an asymmetrical sport with our body. So now I am trying to relearn how to connect myself with different muscles and it’s a struggle. A lot of the exercises I am given to help with getting the leg up frustrate me because I don’t have that neurological connection to the muscles I’m supposed to be using. So I really like videos like yours where it’s way back to the basics.

Thanks!

Thank you,Dr your videos are very simple to understand and implement,I really learn alot from you

I hv the same problem because of muscular Destrophy,these exercises help me alot,Thankuu Sooo Much 🙏🙏

I have been diagnosed with MS for 20 years and the last four years I have to use a walker and a scooter to get around 😔 I have fallen so many times that I have injured my left side I cannot rotate my left ankle or bend my toes I thought I needed a hip replacement I am attending Physical Therapy for the last four years and I feel I’m getting better but it’s taking a long time But I will not give up My core is so weak Cannot even pick myself up off the floor, unless I crawl to something and pull myself up I feel like I’m gonna be stuck like this for ever Again I will not give up trying 💪🏼🧡🧡

best channel ever. thoughts on kneeling squats?

Tara hi, thank you so so much, this video is super helpful for me since I have a heavy leg after recurrent myelitis (not ms related). I’ve tried practicing your advice of relax/ heel this entire morning and I think it works wonders!! I seriously walk much better now playing your words “relax/ heel” in my head, like this was a missing puzzle in my rehab process. God bless 🙏

Omg thanks alot Dr Tara, I think you're reading my mind nowadays😊😊 another great video.

Extremely grateful for your insight, time and energy on your videos!

Another 👍video. Thank you 😊

Thanks Dr Tobias. I have a stiff left leg that and the muscles in the back of my left leg is weak

Hi Dr. Tobias I can't Thank you enough for sharing your video's you have set me up for Victory!! I'm in my second year post stroke, by you explaining/demonstrating what Spasticity/High tone is has gotten me through many hard days because it's a different workout. I just ordered the Leg Bands.. can't wait to see how they work. Thank You so, so much!! ❤❤😀😀 THANK You Dr. Tobias..

Great video!!

Thank you.

Thank you for this video All the best

Thank you so very much. I'm a new subscriber. I take warfarin. I had an experience at the post office where as I was leaving the counter and started walking away my right leg froze and my gait and upper torso kept moving. Terrible experience. Thank God I didn't hit the floor. Question : will these exercises assist in prevention?. I'm already practicing the heel and relax method.

Thanks for the video

Thanks, I needed these exercises, I fell down stairs and knocked my right leg and hip out of place,they put it back in ,but still having trouble with my balance and walking

Terrific video and very helpful - thank you ❤

Where can I get a set up like the one you used with the stretch bands and belt around the waist for helping walk better with my heavy leg?!

Where can I buy Resistance band belt. I had foot dropped since I had my stroked since 2011

Belt and band is not in the description? A link please. Wow your videos are amazing. Getting such great information.

I can lift and bend my left leg with ease if I am sitting or laying but if I’m standing no can do. Nothing! It’s heavy & stiff and will not move!

My god. This is exactly my problem. My legs won’t lift and I often get stiff straight legs. My first job is to buy a physio table for home.

❤ this is amazing tnx

Thank you for these videos, they are very helpful. My neurologist has never spoke about the hip flexor to me.

My biggest problem is my left hand and arm, I have to walk normally and eventually run again Kind Blessings Marc

This was so helpful, I fell 3 months ago and struggle to lift my leg

Hi Dr. Tobias, thanks for all that you do here. I really need some advice. I am 42 yrs old, had a stroke last May. I am working with a physical therapist. My left side side is effected by the stroke. My physical therapist has had me do a lot of weight bearing and exercises on that feet. My entire foot, ankle and toes, have been swelling with pain especially the ankle. It seems to swell bad after each session. I have told and even showed pictures of my 2 feet, so he could see the difference. He did not go easier with the exercises. I have worked with several different pt from different companies. I am staying with this therapist because he 'walks' me some, versus some that just left me to work out at exercise machines for half the session. I want to know if these strenuous exercises that cause my feet to swell would actually do more damage than the intended good. I am so frustrated because of the pain and I am so worried. What should be the right thing to do? In the mean while, I am using ice and heat and also a leg air compression sleeve, along with pain cream and patches. All advice is appreciated. Please help, anyone.

Good day dr Tara , above shared video is so helpful. The way you both explain the cause of the problem. Also , how to overcome the problem. Dr i also wanted to brief that i do have water retention ( side effect of the medicines) . Please do guide and suggest me how to overcome the same .

Top!

Hello, How do you preform these exercises with no balance?

Thank you for sharing all your advice and expertise. I have a left side deficit. My leg is in spasticity alway. I have to consciously tell myself to relax my leg e I while in bed.

Hello my stroke was in 2018 I think my left leg is fairly strong as it goes I have no trouble getting my leg high enough to put on a second step I am just getting some ham string engagement some ankle. I've been pretty loose I was heavily into yoga before my stroke and have managed to keep loose. So I started with agood baseline.

Can someone have this without stroke?

That you Dr.Tara this video was full of Gems 💎 ❤

Donde puedo conseguir la bandas

Hello, I really enjoy your channel, there are things you can do to improve. One, stop saying “ you can’t to save your life, VERY NEGATIVE. PLUS it does not go with the sign on your wall. Oh, and a much better sign would be “Believe it till you make it! Just saying.😊🤗

What’s happening when both legs are heavy and you have severe pain in the groin area and not able to walk

Excersize begin here 5:50

I can't find a resistance band belt. Please help

Tobias I'm having heavy leg after brain stroke how to reduce leg weight

I do have a question for you about the resistance band. Have you by any chance used this on any of the taller people in your care? According to some of the reviews, it is a problem for those on the taller side such as those 5'10" and above. I was wondering if you had any experience with this?

I had a stroke 2 years ago , I have problem balance and foot drop. Any advice on what I can do at home for this,I can't afford therapy, thanks

This is what I'm struggling with..

After my stroke my knees feel like a squeaky door and the pain is unbearable. As i approach steps and start to climb half way though the leg wants to give out from excruciating pain. Any thoughts?

I use to skate 😭

Those are good ones,but on that first set of exercises,when you was lying on the mat with the leg hanging out ,my leg barely get off the floor,is that ok,or will that get better in time?

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Wow 🤯 GOD must have wanted me to see that I was not alone with having a stroke at such a young age of 46😢.. cause now I won't complain.. I have progressed so much!😊 from not being able to feed myself and bathe myself to doing it all by myself although I still can't walk but I'm going to still put forth the effort and energy and I am going to just trust in Jesus and let him have control ❤🙏🙌
