I swear, you post the exact video i need week after week. It’s incredible

[markd]

Excellent video! Well done Tara! In order to get my life back after a 2016 stroke I mimic these stretches at bedtime, in bed, and first thing in the morning. For what it's worth Tara is the real deal. Do the stretching that works for you. Everyone has different needs. I find that for me experimenting with stretches allows me to get specific and greatly improved my lifestyle.

I fall a car accident and full paralysis last 3y, I have a lovely family and support me all time, I have tracheotomy and I am eating purée level 4, doing regular exercise and sleeping 5/6h, do you have any suggestions and when I walk, my physiotherapist is trying once every week to stand me up and my right knee is not very strong so after 3stands I got tired :Please help me

[likeshecy]

I have pontine stroke and my problem is my left ear loss hearing. What should i do to get back to normal

[chris-]

At 4.50 I thought you’d gone to sleep on your comfortable looking physio bed. Then I realised my ear piece had come out, so all is well. Thanks for the warm-up exercises. I’m always wobbly first thing and close to falling over after getting up to use the toilet, sometimes up to 8 times during the night, so I’m gonna use your exercise routine starting tomorrow. Thanks.

I so needed this one.
What are your thoughts on using a message gun for a partial quad?

[Ummeahmad-pkod]

[kathrynK]

Thank you so much for sharing Ms. Tobias! I think that some of these will be absolutely fantastic to add in first thing in the morning and that it'll help me so much! Thank you so much for the handout as well! It is now on my bedroom wall so I don't have a reason to skip them. 😂

[souravmishra]

Is xtern AFO good for foot drop after stroke?
Will it help me walk faster and better?

[darkodarkovic]

This will be a great extension to your morning stretching routine, especially for the deep muscles. A little more stretching for the deep muscles of the arms and shoulders, please. Thanks for the pdf, it's much clearer and more efficient to find new exercises. Have a nice week.

When I walk my toes tend to stiffen almost in locked spasm what can I do to help stop that tightening of the toes that is so painful to walk
