I'm in PT working on balance. The sit to stand is a good exercise. Combining it with step forward is great. Step left or right is brilliant. Thanks

I’m a PT. Searching for functional exercises for balance training in elderly and sick population. Multiple falls and poor endurance of activities are common in this population. Home health. Thank you!

Thanks. I really like this. I'm a P.T. looking for videos for my patients and this is great.

Perfect for me, standing up from my chair. Is difficult!! Glad to have this exercise, am basically learning how to walk all over again and this is great ! Thank you!!

This is simple, effective and an excellent exercise to get into the habit of doing early while your able. I used to tell my mom the more times she gets in and out of a chair the better for her balance (I never knew why) … she’s now 93 years old and has had 23 falls so far this year.

Thanks for these simple exercises for improved balance. Need to practice the various movements. 💕👍👏💯

Loved the video, and just subscribed to the channel! THIS is why I am here: Recently, I started taking a Tai Chi class, and the first thing they started me on was learning to do a "tai chi walk method." I instantly learned that my balance is bad enough that I kept trying to fall over when slowly going through the motions. It was bad enough that I have withdrawn from the class, and am now trying to work specifically on balance. As an explaination, over the last year I have lost over 100 pounds having dropped my carbohydrate intake to 20-30 grams per day. In doing just that, I have rid myself of my hyperglycemia, my type-2 diabetes and ALL of my diabetes medications. Now it is time to work on getting my body to understand the new weight distribution, and building up the muscles and joints needed to maintain balance, so I can once again, rejoin the tai chi program.

Insulin can cause weight gain my overweight diabetic endocrinologist told me this. I tried everything to shed but nerve pain has made exercise harder. These exercises are great.

Love this!!! Great explanations. Using for my Balance Class tomorrow. Keep em coming. Thank you!

This is one of the best pieces of advice that I’ve gotten thanks 🙏

I’ll add this little routine to my many balance exercises and strategies in my seniors Pilates classes 👍🏻

Really nice needed after Hip Replacement surgery Thanks

My fitness classes are asking about better balance . Thanks for this !

Awesome! I had some great exercise ideas!! Thank You!

Thank you,,I fell on tuesday doing this exact thing.

Namaste liked your video. Practice is more important. Yes 👍🙏

Thank you so much for a wonderful video 🌹😘it helps a lot 🙏thanks Dr Tara

This exercise is also helping me with my post labyrinthectomy challenges. If I don't keep up the movements due to illness or a sedentary lifestyle, the "bobble head" feeling returns. My post op rehab was mostly head and eye movements. These round out the routines. Thank you for the exercise ideas.

Thank you for sharing your video. Tips are valuable & helpful.

Thank you

Kudos !!!! Well done. Thank you

Thank you. Very helpful

I am in bad shape balance wise I fall down a lot and I have to do some thing it’s getting to the point where I don’t think I can live alone anymore. I have an appointment with the physical therapist but it’s not until the end of June so I will try to do something before that thank you very much

Really awesome information!

this young lady is the Real Deal

Very good exercise for imbalance

Dr, great presentation. How many repetitions and different ways to step do you recommend?

Love this information

Like most physio exercises they are demonstrated by a younger fitter person and bear little resemblance to the abilities of the average 70 plus aged person. Better to use an older person that has actual balance challenges

People who work in rehab are aware of the ability and limitations of older people. I’m 70, and I had hip replacement. I found these exercises very good. Quite easy. And she offered options to help those who aren’t as agile.

She is the therapist. Everyone should retain their ability to move, balance, and be strong into old age. Besides disease factors that cause decline. It's our responsibility to stay strong

Agree, and don't talk so much. I want a demostration, don't tell what I AM THINKING ABOUT.

I am a step behind I cant get up from a chair without rocking and pulling up on something. If a chair doesn't have arms I can push up off of I cant sit in it. I lack leg strength. I cant get up from the floor either. What do you suggest?

Dear dr Tera thanks for shear information But I need to carry out intensive training courses for us as physiotherapy I can arrange courses in my country if you a agree I appreciate thanks for your passion

Very helpful

TY

I am an senior with two bad knees and an arthritic back. I use my arms to get up from chair, but, as I am blind, I sometimes find myself in a chair without armrests and need a family member to help me out of chair. Is it really possible for me to be able to do this exercise?

How would I document this?

Should the balance exercise be done for how many minutes daily?

Like the drill ....I'm 64 and reasonably fit i play Golf twice a week i seem to have balance issues when i get dressed in the morning i have my left leg pants leg on and as i step with my right leg into my pants i seem to loose my balance please advise 👍

Should I step stroke leg first or not?

My main concern is steps. Going down specifically

Nice.

I have a hard time taking the first step. I shuffle my feet before I take the step

steve kierstead yes, this is the perfect exercise to gaining more confidence with that first step. Start by holding on so that your legs can learn the movement. In many cases that shuffle step is just “your brain” trying to make sense of what to do next. Hope this helps!

Oldies with weak kness need chair with arm rest to get from chair. A walking stick can replace arm rest for getting up from chair.

I can’t even believe cancer treatment stole my balance this much! I feel like when my heels get worn down until I realized I wasn’t wearing shoes and it was still happening! I feel like I’m walking on sand sometimes.

Yeah enjoyed so nice thank you And your name is Arabic name like to know where you from

Half the problem is that if like me you are 1m90 average chairs armchairs and toilets on average are too low to get up gracefully.

Gosh, you scared me with that pop up!

@@rehabhqofficial I think that the timing of the popup figures is jarring. You start to introduce yourself and, while drawing viewers in, startle them with loud noises over your speaking voice. Anyway, thank you for the video.
