I really appreciate physiotherapists. They work magic with their cool body knowledge.

I call it “falling forward enough for the body to take over.” I learned it on my own when an autoimmune disorder attacked the nerves in my legs and made them pretty useless. This method also works best when I don’t sit in a place where my knees end up being higher than the seat of the chair (or maybe better stated as higher than the midpoint my hips?). So low chairs, deep sofas, short benches, etc. can take a lot more power than this move can generate.

@HT-Physio

3 ай бұрын

I agree - the dimensions of the seat is an important factor, it completely changes the movement needed to get up

Dear Will, as I am now almost 77, I wish I had found your KZread site at least 25 yeaes ago. Still better late than never. I helped our dog to buy me a copy of your book for Christmas so I have no excuse not to get on with the exercises. I have had 2 falls in the past 3 months but thanks to your getting up off the floor exercises I was able to get myself up and moving about. Next time I might breaķ something so I am keen to improve my balance and strength. Thank you, Carol UK

have been using the getting up portion for quite awhile and try to teach my wife who is having a lot of difficulty with pain post knee replacement surgery 11 months ago. Now I can use it for sitting down. I had a different technique for my wedding folks when photographing. Because most people are "floppers" and I wanted to keep the head forward of the tummy I used my normal standing pose of one for forward (which depends on the direction of the body being posed) and weight on the opposite leg/foot. So I found that by asking the subject to stand with the rear leg touching the chair and then to sit "straight" down, the problem was solved. Not quite as good as this method but something anyone could do when shown.

Makes perfect sense when you think about it. 👍🏻

No it doesn't. I've had lower disc replacement. And this does absolutely nothing. And who has another chair in front of them

I'm 79 and I tried this method. Didn't work and I still had to use my hands. It only worked for me, if the chair was not deep or cushioned, such as a wooden dining room chair. But I will keep trying.

Hello Will, Your Videos are brilliant. As an 60 year old Funeral Director, I have been fighting my body for years. The body appears to be winning. Since I found your channel, things have improved greatly. A huge thank you, I have Subscribed, and plan to keep following your methods and advice. What a guy. Thanks again. 😀

I have your book and love the Friday tips. I’m 75 yrs old and have arthritis and Morton’s neuroma in toes on my right foot. I started doing your exercises each day,stretches also since this past January. I only wish I had found this book years ago!

I'm 62, with arthritis in both knees, both hips and my neck and this demonstration is using the type of chair I can usually manage. My problem is getting out of much lower seating, like a settee. I also can no longer reach my toes to cut my nails and I struggle with bottom wiping too. Any tips here would be very helpful as I'm fiercely independent and would really like to remain so for as long as is possible. Dignity is important to we older folk.

It is for arthritis very important to keep moving, it will keep your joint more souple and you need to strenghten your muscles in order to support the jonts. Without moving a lot and gain muscle strength your perspective will be much less good. For cleaning your bottom you can buy a bidet what you can connect to the toilet, or a simple toilet shower can do the job. Keep moving, make a schedule, you are much too young to live like an elderly!

Thank you so much. I am 79yrs old, on the heavy side, with slight body/hand tremors. I just followed your trick. I got up quickly, easily without support.

I'm 77 years old and fairly fit but my knees have started to ache a little so I began to practise getting up from a chair each morning without holding onto anything (I have only previously managed to do it 5 times). I decided to try your method and am pleased to say I am able to do get up and down from the chair with little or no discomfort. Thank you.

This is genious recovering from bilateral knee replacements this is simple but oh so helpful 🙌. Thank u very much . . . Jenni (5wks post op aged) 74 👍🏻

Two things at 4:25. One, use the chair in front for balance only. Touch it with your fingertips, not with your claw hands. Two: when you go down and slow down, you’re adding resistance. I have learned that resistance is key. If you do everything in extremely slow motion, you are tensing the muscle and adding to what you were doing very much. The longer you take easing back down to the chair the more you’re getting from that exercise.

Short and clear. Well demonstrated. I'm 72. Started practicing. Stay blessed always!

Thanks for the his great tip. It is very easy to do. I will focus on the four seconds going down on the chair.

Right! You have to make sure that the chair is behind you before you sit back down. It wasn't, and I fell to the floor in the restaurant last year. I now reach behind me first to make sure it's there in place. Your moves are for thinner people. Not for larger people like myself, or seniors with balance or mobility issues.

Thanks for this tip, it really works. Strange how we sometimes struggle ant don't think of the most obvious things.

I am amazed that this works! I was a bit skeptical because most of these ideas are pie in the sky and they never get to the point until after about an hour in the video. Many, many thanks🎉

Great! Thanks!

This is good advice, if the sitting angle at your knee is 90° or more. If you’re in a chair that is lower than the height of your knee, this may not work. So taller people, me, for example, still may need that push-off using the hands. I find myself using my hands to stand up from a sitting position every time, unless I’m in a higher chair. I just tested this, and I found I had no difficulty using your technique in a chair where the seat is at least 18” high. Unfortunately, most living room seating puts your rear lower than your knees, and that is where many of us will continue to have trouble standing without pushing up with our hands.

Thank you
