so wonderful that he puts these videos together for the senior community. What a handsome kind fellow with very good looking bare feet as well. Thanks for sharing.

Mr Harlow, you are the clearest presenter for advice on physio issues. I only follow you because of that. You are pitched at the pace, and you very pragmatic in outlook. You have done much for me. Thank you.

Hi HT physio. I love your videos. I'm so impressed that someone your age had taken the time to learn about difficulties that us older folk have with our bodies but also knows how to talk to to us: slowly and with clear instructions.

Sich a great channel on exercises, so grateful to have found you. Thank you😢

My physiotherapist had me doing all three of the exercises you recommended when I had plantar fasciitis and they worked great!  After a few months of physio I was all better but a few years later I got plantar fasciitis again.  After my second bout and another few months of physio, my physiotherapist advised to keep doing the leg stretch exercise against the wall regularly but in the shower.  The warm water from the shower warms up the muscles and it makes the exercise easier.  I've been doing that leg stretch exercise in the shower for several years now and have not had a return of my plantar fasciitis.

What a life saver! Have done the stretches for years. I am pain free. BUT still had some uncomfortable tightness under the feet. Grabbed two tennis balls and now roll them unter the feet twice a day. Already feel so much better. Thank you.

enjoyed this video very much thanks Will. Something I like about it is I see you practice what you preach

About 10 yrs ago, I started to have tightness, cramp and pain in soles of my feet . Saw podiatrist - he thought it was due to poor circulation, who sent me to a vascular surgeon, who did many tests and prescribed medication, which I could not tolerate .
It is such a relief to know that my symptoms were due to tight calves, I intend to follow your advise, I am certain, I will get better.
Thank you very much Dr Harlow,
Keep up the good work.
Greetings from Canada

Doing the calf stretch each time I go to the loo so I remember to do it throughout the day. Takes less than a minute each time
