thank you😍

From a therapist to another, you got the best practical contents on stroke rehab on youtube and anywhere i have seen. absolutely radiating passion. thanks a bunch

Watching these videos and all the comments below, has given me so much courage. 😭😭😭😭😭 I never knew there are so many others suffering like me. I swear I will be able to walk and climb up and down the stairs well like I did many years ago.

Reconnected brain to the left leg yesterday, did 400 reps with a large gym ball with the leg on top. Did endurance walking yesterday with the leg almost dragging. Today after the workout was done 500 almost perfect steps. The leg worked great, thanks, you did well!

Thank you so much for this video . I tried the straight leg raise with bending my foot, and discovered that I was able to bend two of my toes. Yay! One step closer to recovery . 🙏🏻

Your lessons taught to walk the stairs without restingon the wall, helped overcome fear when had to go down the stairs with only a cane.Meeting with you is new step forward!

I had a stroke 3 1/2 years ago and over did it last week! I have very low energy and leg heaviness! This was of some help!

Please do exercises for wheelchair boumd; I had s massive stroke 2 years ago, I am still improvimg, especially wih a lot of exerciises and healthy eating. I have made major strides with my own exercise program lernedd from all the different therapists I have seen.My shoulder is evem less sublexed. It really took a lot of time and exercise, and I am very excited and thankful. I move my arm better but many times have to adjust the exercises due to inability to lift arms fully. I enjoy yout videos. They are very helpful and apply to me amd my problems. Thanks. I will never take the mechanics of the body for granted again, I'm doing good in spite of being written off for survival.

Kimberly, thanks for watching and for sharing your story. First, YOU ARE YOUR BEST THERAPIST!! I am proud of anyone who refuses to let others define how far they can go and does the hard work to prove everyone wrong. Keep it up. Second, I will be sure to add your suggestion to the list :)

I am a PT in Ghana ,and your videos and explanations are really satiable and deep. You are really saving lives . I just love it.

This video is very helpful thank you very much

Bless you for sharing these with us for free

Incredible. I always had heavy and painful left leg starting from my thighs. I tried your exercise and the pain left. Thank God.

My mother just had a small stroke a few days back. She was perfectly fine when we left the hospital. She could walk alone that night. Surprisingly, the very next day, she said her left leg is feeling heavy and from then on she couldnt stand all by herself. That made me discover your channel. Will definitely try these exercises. Thank you for sharing your knowledge doctor. God bless you!

@@fridayigwebuike5879 everyone is at different stages in their recovery. sometimes it is tough to go through plateaus, set backs, falls, re-hospitalizations....etc. It is easy to get discouraged but I hope that you and others who have found the strength to keep the hope and the faith and the determination will keep inspiring and encouraging those who may be in a different place :) Thanks for your encouraging comments!! keep em comin' :)

I'm walking far better than two wks ago due to your advice. I'm listening! Thank you.

I had an ischemic stroke 5 years ago. I wished that I had found your KZread channel earlier as I had received a lot of "advice" from doctors and physiotherapists, often unhelpful and conflicting. I ended up trying various things on my own on a trial and error basis to find the best solution for me. Needless to say, everything that you have talk about in your videos are accurate, very detailed and very helpful. It would have saved me a lot of time had I seen them before. Many thanks for doing all these videos and I look forward to future videos.

thank you for the good video recently. i have problem when lift my weak leg the foot the big thump side is turn in . do you have any things to advise ?

I think will help. i had a stroke in 2021. my left leg feels heavy. they did little in the hospital to help.

Thanks a lot Ma'am 🙏.... Last month on 11 I had a stroke....due 2 which I hv left side weakness....thnx to lord and all the Dr staff nurses I have recovered quickly....I can walk alone , staircase everything... sometimes ma'am I fell legs getting little heavy.... Frm 2day I will practice all ur excercise.... My question 2 u is can I recover fully??

Nice exercise, do you have any tips in preventing your toes from pointing down like you mention in 8:00 because that's really the challenge. Thanks

got a heavy leg here as well Dr.

Patient has hip mobility issue too.. Pls make some videos on hip mobility too. As there is no movement in hip

All of your videos are great. My sister is recovering from a brain stem infarct and your videos are extremely helpful. She has spasticity in her effected side and your videos have instrumental in her recovery. Thank you and God bless you in your endeavors.

Hello, here we have to work on the nerve pathway starting from the neck down to the shoulder to the scapula. The scapula is the nerve center next to the leg and you need to release the hips in all directions. The addition of a 1 kg dumbbell ON HAND will help in the overall process, in fact all the movements must be very delicate and delicate and this is what the nerves like delicate movements You won't believe it, I discovered that brushing your teeth and gently shaking your head up will successfully release the neck I found myself with a kg weight on my hand solving puzzles when standing my body is bent with rotational movements of the hand and rotational movements of the body and thank God. it works we will emphasize subtle movements it is critical to solveg puzzles for many hours in front of a laptop and the body is bent forward to the computer screen

The comment regarding weakness is much appreciated. Never seemed appropriate to me.

I thank you. I suffered a stroke in Oct and sometimes lately felt the heavy leg? I was concerned because I've been doing my exercises and I've also changed my diet I thought I had another stroke... I remember feeling the heavy legs when I was first admitted into the hospital and when they let me out I felt better no heavy legs what's going on with that?

Hi Dr. Tobias Dash can you please label your videos: Video 1/2 And Video 2/2 Because when I’m going through these I don’t know if I’m doing part one or part two of a series so it’s very confusing and if you could please do that that would help a lot

My foot won't point down, ever again. I have a charcot foot and before I had my stroke I could move my foot like everyone else. Then I broke my leg, just above the ankle and my foot was fused to my leg. Then I had a stroke, so I didn't have a drop foot, yet I still drag my foot, though I am trying to pick the foot up. Now my tip of my toes drag on the ground. I will try these exercises though. I have to work on a bed but it should still work. I'm tired of my leg feeling heavy.

How can I do this exercise when I have no feeling /control. It seems every one control their leg after stroke where does it leave me I’m not someone different than other stroke survivors. This video upsets me too much. It made feel more helpless hopeless💔🥀

Thank you Dr its help me a lot😪😭😭😭😭..... I hope i will survive my half body paralyzed 😪😭😭😭

I think using the big ball will help to get the hip flexor moving because my leg is so heavy and disconnected that I will need the ball. Thanks

does low protein intake or diet cause heavy legs? whats a good diet or vitimins?

my stroke was in december affecting my right side not too severe with a good recovery, but i have developed peripheral neuropathy and i feel its affecting my walking and balance. do you have any advice for me?

I am fighting severe spastcity it has been 4 years now. I use the pool every summer. Could you do a video on water exercise? I am trying to correct my walk. I'm lucky because I had really strong legs but I thought if I could walk at all the rest would just start but, I was so happy about your video that said that doesn't help. I am trying to correct it but one problem I have is, I am not really aware of my hip. I never was.
