Alyssa you are a God send, i have been so depressed, and hopeless until i found you! I have bone on bone ostoarthritis in my hips, knee, and back, since i've been doing some of the exercises(beginner ones) im am starting to feel some relief, i have awful muscel spasm's all night, but even these are showing a slight improvement. I do not want surgery, and thank GOD for you..i refuse to give up, and am moving forword now that i have hope again, i am in my 70's, and have been diganosed 6 months ago❤❤

Alyssa! Your videos are so awesome! They want me to have total hip replacement someday soon. Very advanced arthritis in my right hip. I’m only 55 and trying to wait as long as I can. Your videos are helping me so much with pain relief and I feel stronger even after a couple sessions of different videos I’ve been doing. Thank you so much! ❤😊

Greetings from France ❤. Your video seemed to attract my 2 year old Siamese cat. You've got a big fan now. First she tried to touch your doggy but finally gave up as doggy went to sleep. Then she was catching your hands and fingers and putting my phone on pause 🤣. She was reallly enjoying watching you and I tried my best to get a glimpse of what you were trying to explain. This video was VERY VERY helpful as I was able to work on my wrists and fingers (broken after many aggressions). Exactly what I was looking for, in addition to all other amazing videos. My Newfoundland too is a big fan of you as she barks when you move. Now you have THREE followers. Thanks for sharing caring and making a 72year old SMILE 😊👍👍👍❤❤❤🐾💐💐💐🥰🥰🥰🐾🐾🐾

Thank you for this. I needed something to help me do more for my exercises. Your videos are making a difference for me.

I am 77 and found I have osteoarthritis in my knees. I love your video along with the chair video & the one where you mention the 10 helpful suggestions. I also plan to see an Osteopath to get more choices. Thank you for the knowledge you are sharing. ❤

[yolandaalamilla]

Love the stretches.. Thanks Alyssa .Will continue to do the chair yoga.

I’m so glad I found your videos. I used to ski, ride horses and play tennis. At 68, climbing stairs is arduous. I don’t have knee pain but I do have developing osteoarthritis. My right leg (my weak side) is not as strong as it used to be. I hope I can do some of the other exercises I’ve seen you demonstrate (like repeatedly getting up from a sitting position without using hands). Thank you.🙏🏽

[helenvaldez]

Thanks so much for your service towards people like me... recovering after surgery of both (chattered) knees 🙌
