Thanks and God bless Dr. Tara. I had a mini stroke weeks ago and 2 days ago, i got this intense shoulder and full left body cramp, i couldnt stand up.. I did accupresure and hail mary prayers deeply helped and i would love to incorporate your exercises in strengthening my body. I get to understand my body more through health sessions like yours.. Thank you very much for imparting your expertise here in youtube.. Grateful for youtube.. I cannot afford sessiona like this on a traditional basis as i currently suffer financially due to paternal abuses.. God bless Youtube. I pray for more conscience centered advertisers abd financial supporters for Youtube and conscientious youtubers..

This was right on time Dr. Tobias, these are my problems with my walking and this should help a lot. Thankyou!!

[hectorgalvansr.]

You have helped me and I am pretty sure you have also helped a lot of people with these videos.
You help me by seeing the forest for the trees.

I have MS had a hip and knee replacement this is exactly what I need thank you

[sujitbhogal]

THANKYOU DR. I HAVE BEEN WORKING YOUR CHANNEL FOR A YEARS AND AM GETTING A VERY POSITIVE ENERGY. THANK YOU.

[fredkotthaus]

Thank you, Dr Tobias, this video has been an eye opener for me. The point you made about our focus point is great i.e. focusing while walking on lifting the leg, bending the knee ect, could be causing the spasticity to kick in. You mentioned that we need to focus on relaxing the leg and knee. I've been doing that the past couple of days and have noticed a big difference, thank you once again for your insight

Hello dr. I am krishnan from CHENNAI India. I survived a brain hemorrhage in 2020 resulted in hemiplegia affecting my left side, was unable to perform exercises regularly duo to lock down that resulted in very slow recovery I watch your videos and practice most of the exercises and could see significant improvement in walking and hand movements. Though i walk daily my knee is not bending while walking and my leg makes a small swing
I would like to know on how to fix this. Really appreciate your time and effort. You are doing a great job please keep it going.

Thanks Dr. Tara for some more great info and exercises. I’m finding it so difficult to engage the abdominals, laying down or standing. Can do hip rotations but lifting leg flexed so hard to do!

My issue is a stiff ankle. Is there a MOST effective treatment?

[MaticN]

I have a stiff leg while walking. Have MS (multiple sclerosis) since 2007. While walking it sounds like when a diver comes from the sea and stamps down with his flippers. Any advice on that??? thank you in advance :D

[teresacollinsporterfield]

Great refresher video Dr. Tabias. Even though I think I have graduated from a certain exercise, I have found and as you have stated, practice, practice, practice. Thank you, as always for your valuable time.

[chrismcparland]

Hi Dr Tara, I had a stroke 6 months ago and while everyone tells me I’m making good progress, a persistent problem with my stroke leg is that the circulation is poor, causing my foot and ankle to be colder than the good leg, also having less feeling. Have you done a video on circulation and have I missed it. By the way, I can’t believe how many of the problems you deal with are exactly what I suffer with, You’re the best. Thanks.

[MG-iqlr]

Wish my daughter had the motivation to try these excellent specific exercises.

[donnaseales]

I cannot bring my leg into the car, lifting from the foot, knee. I have to move my leg by hand. I have had ms for 30 years and this is a. Problem for me. Thank you

[becauseofwhoyouare]

Dr Tara can these exercises be done without the machine? Can resistance bands be used, Can you do some examples with the bands if they can be used? Thanks 😊

[YvonaLiveLove]

Just found ur video I’m praying you see my comment I have issues with walking forward with my left leg not cooperating my knee locks up and than my high muscles seize up . This started six years ago with a slight length and it progressed from there I have seen many doctors No one knows why this is happening. I’ve been tested for MS and do not have it, also I have not had a stroke . I really need some advice please 🙏🏼 ❤

[lynnsmith]

Your videos are always so helpful and always ontime..Thank you!!

[beverlyschweiss]

How do I find the groups of videos that belong together?

[LaverneCKelly]

What's the name of the hip flexor machine that you used in this video that helps with lifting the heavy foot?
