Please make a video of how to walk upright using a rollator and how to avoid banging legs against the seat or seat-support bar. Also, it would be helpful to know what height is best for the handles. Thank you.

This week, someone took a picture of my granddaughter, daughter and myself. I was shocked when i noticed my shoulders forward, slumped. I know it is from my chronic pain, but no excuse for me to allow this. THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION. So very appreciated.

I’ve been doing these exercises and exercises with bands in the evenings for my posture and realise it was giving me chronic reflux the next morning so now I make sure I do them early in the day.

A video is how I first saw that my back was hunched. So definitely working on getting straight again. (And a bit surprised and disappointed that it never occurred to my doctor to mention that I was so bent. Just measured my height and told me I was getting shorter, but without mentioning the hunch.)

HAMSTRING stretch is another key piece needed to aid in haunch feeling, it can help loosen up the muscles that go along the spine and also breathing more people that have hunch posture and traditional Chinese medicine shiatsu tend to be more of the five element of metal element so they open up their shoulders and breathe more get outside take some dance lessons go see live music do extroverted activities spontaneous less overthinking more vitamin D usually more iron is needed mineral balancing she is very effective using meridians The Way of Wellness Massage

Hey Bob and Mike, have you ever used "cupping" therapy on hamstring injuries/tendonitis just behind the knee instead of the cross fiction machine? Thanks!

Recently my sister-in-law retaliated to my disapproval that she and my brother chose to go to her nephew's wedding, rather than stay for my mom's funeral, by saying if i didn't do something about my posture, I'd soon spend my life staring at the ground. Thanks for pointing out it was a rude remark.

You can do the wall exercises shown

Brad, I have your and Bob's massage hammer and really like it. However, I'm not so keen on the vibrations felt in the hand that holds it. Any suggestions as to how to mitigate these effects?

Can you do these exercises with the taped up towel roll with osteoporosis?

It’s lie down, if it’s a person. If you have an object that you’re putting down, then it’s lay down.

Good mom!

I Jada Fusion on c2/4 and a Laminectomy on 5/7. Can I do these excersize? I know I walk hunched over.

I'm completely unable to do these wall or floor practices successfully because I have a strong curvature in my upper back resulting from the vertebrae being (for whatever reason) somewhat conical rather than cylindrical. I've seen this on an MRI. I believe it may be what is called Scheuermann's kyphosis. It's not pretty, but I'm approaching 80, and it doesn't cause me any pain or discomfort. I wonder if anyone else suffers (if that's the right word) from a similar condition. I have mentioned it here before.

Thanks. I'm going to connect a speaker to a motion sensor so that every time you walk by it says, "Stop slouching. You look like an old man." I'll be selling it for $19.95.

As long as it doesn't cause you any pain!

About how long does it take to get to where you dont need a pillow to lie flat? Appox. I know everybody is different.

I have MS and use a rollator for balance when walking. I have good posture when sitting and standing. But the design of rollators make it extremely difficult to not bend over. If I take average size steps, my legs (just above the knee) bang into the seat which is uncomfortable. This does not happen when I bend over. If the handles on rollators were longer, we'd be able to walk slightly further back and avoid this problem. Any suggestions?

Usually the seat can be folded up while walking, so that you can walk closer.

@@louisel5009, I've purchased and used many rollators in the 16 years that I've needed one. Some seats do not fold up. The ones that do, have a bar for the seat to rest on when the seat is down. So I'm banging into that bar instead. Since it's a metal bar, that's worse than bumping into the seat.
