I’m 86 years old. This and your other exercises are allowing me to recover lost flexibility and balance, stand up straight, walk correctly, fight sarcopenia, and in general live by myself in my own home safely and with energy. What’s not to like?!

[paulhousden]

You ask why we come to your video ? - its because you are clear, accurate and good at what you do - no BS and straight to the point. I have seen many of your videos and find these inspiring and very very helpful. They WORK ! and as I approach 68 I find them useful - well done and keep going .

Hi, I’m a 63 yo new swimmer and I want to be more efficient in my strokes. Also looking to age with good balance and strength. Love your videos.

[AngelStormee]

What brought me here is the pain in my hips when sleeping (side sleeper) and what I feel are contributing factors - my age, my job that has me standing 8 hours a day on concrete floors, and my hour-long commute (each direction). Thank you for this channel and for sharing your wisdom.

I’m 76, female. I am working towards improving mobility and strength in the hips. My hips tend to get sore when I walk. I wind your clips very helpful. Appreciate you 🙏🏼

Because I’m older and I don’t wanna get stiff and immobile and I watch you and I watch Amanda Esmonde White and I take a ballet class to stay flexible because one of my 80 year old customer said never stop moving

Love your channel!!! I wore braces on my legs as a child. I have never had normal mobility in my right hip. I watched this video because I'm trying to get more mobility. Thank you.

Plantar fasciitis led me to your channel then I realized that it's my while entire kinetic chain... So I'm always watching you to learn new techniques

Even without the band, I did this with great success. Hip pain and walking stability both improved remarkably.

Originally, I came to your site on a search for relieving what everyone told me was a "frozen shoulder." Your exercises have helped my shoulders and arms be more efficient in their movement. It's refreshing to see a program that helps learn how to tackle one issue as a part of a whole. Thank you.

67 yo female pickleball player; playing 3-4x wkly for 3hrs. Sciatic nerve symptoms have plagued me for over two months. Your videos on my symptoms and those related to hip arthritis have given me great encouragement! Thank you! I forward your vids to others.

Hi! I'm healing from a torn lateral meniscus ~6 months (and recently strained hamstring on same leg) and noticing that my leg drifts into IR when lifting it in a fully extended position (ex., moving it laterally in bed). I have to ER to perform that movement without compensation or discomfort.

This video is so timely. Thank you! I'll check out the other hip series, as suggested! 😊

[MaryLynne]

I was just searching last night for exercises to help with external rotation. Was excited when I saw this video pop up this morning - but my problem is with my arm - 2.5 years post-shoulder surgery (broken upper humerus bone after a fall, with no rotator cuff tear - still don’t have full range of motion or external rotation, even after PT & OT). Most recently, I’ve been dealing with painful thoracic area back spasms - but their solution seems to be another pill to take instead of getting to the root of the problem. Your story gives me hope that I’ll eventually find the right combination of exercises to help my complicated situation! I’ve learned so much from watching your videos in just the last few months! Thank you so much!

[dianedrakeley]

Thank you for your clear and concise instructions. I watch your channel because my hips have been painful on & off. Flexibility is an issue too. Doing your recommended exercises is helping! Thank you!

[emmaeIIe]

I'm trying to regain mobility in my hips. This exercise will help me improve external rotation.

[genuineimpulse]

I’m still recovering and attempting to rebuild my legs after 2020 bilateral ruptured quads. I watched your videos from a hospital bed then as well.

[ChristineHartsfield]

I’m here because I follow your channel and have been for quite some time. I am grateful for the information you share and very often use your exercises when I teach older people up to 85 years old - Pilates.

[IamCheyennecheyenne]

Thanks I did this in reverse and it helped so much!
