YouTube should give awards for high production values. Lighting, music, editing, all top notch, making the information given even more easy to digest and interesting.

Doctor Tobias, I just wanted to tell you that you've been a gem for the past 6.5 years of my stroke recovery.

[jackieh.]

Hi Dr. Tobias, I'm just discovering your tutorials to help my husband with his Spasticity issues. I want to say thank you for providing instructions that I can use to help (or have him do by himself). He's had two strokes that affect his left side and vascular surgery on his left groin area. So now he's experiencing tightness from the surgery and the build up of scar tissue for lack of use along with spasticity. He's exercise 5 days a week that works on his lower leg (some hip movements) and with exercises I think that he'll get better. Thanks you again!

You are awesome. It's now over 3 yrs since I suffered stroke paralysing right arm and leg. My paralysis is very severe.

[markreynolds]

Thank you for making this video, i have started exercising as per the stretching you taught in this video

[tennakrupsdahl]

I had a stroke two years ago. My left shoulder is working but not my hand and fingers. Though last year I had a few moments where some of my fingers could move a little.. so I’m so hopeful that you can make some exercises that can regain that movement and hopefully even more 😇🙏 thanks in advance! I loooove your Chanel

[alisonstrieker]

It' every refreshing and acknowledging to find this! I was however pretty bummed to see there was no dialogue to help along with the exercises
