Was the internet watching me today? I nearly ripped a sink off the wall in a gas station restroom today trying to get up and this video came up. Thanks Dr!

Imbalance fear of falling too, the way you describe and show how to go about the exercise is marvellous. You are a gem of a person ❤❤❤

[Courage.]

YAY!
Sit to stand is one of my biggest problems, and frankly my leg weakness hindering my walking. This progression is a game changer!

I’ve been following you for many months now and I find you the most useful of all the therapistson the net thank you

Dr Tobias, I am a new subscriber to your channel and I cannot thank you enough for the way you explain the mechanics of movement and breaking down getting up from a seat to standing (my first watched video). You have anticipated my concerns and explained how I can overcome them. You really have motivated me to work on each physical area of concern through your wonderful collection (diagnosed with primary progressive MS 17 years ago). Thank you from Sydney, Australia

I use pretty similar exercises for my stroke patients. I can assure u that they work wonders when it comes to standing from a chair. The hard part is teaching the patient the right model of locomotion. Great video and really nice explanation of the exercises!

Years after After a TBI, I have several of issues as spasticity in my ankle leg, weakness, drop-foot, neuropathy, and even fear of falling forward. Your video nails it and so many of your videos show how well you understand and provide some very helpful exercises, and strategies, ... Bless you in your work and life...

Thanks, Tara. This is just what I have been looking for. I don't know really how to distribute the weight and all I was practicing the weight not on centre of gravity. Will practice this and post the results.

I discovered that it helps me to swing my good arm while I’m standing up.
