    I think putting the front of the chair against the wall would be safer and keep it from sliding forward.

    I have used many of his exercises that are on UA-cam to help with my balance. I’m in my 80s and I realize the awful things that could happen to me now if I were to fall..
    Because I have used his exercises over the last month I do see an improvement over my balance .
    Give him a try he won’t regret it .

      Great advice Ginger, I’m afraid once I start falling I could be looking at a nursing home.🤔 I want to stay independent, and stay at home as long as I can. I’m already pretty strong in the legs, but there’s always room for improvement. I’m going to do these exercises, along with other strength training exercises. 😉 I’m 77, and watching from down under Australia 🇦🇺 🐨

      @@MoonSpinnersHa, apparently cats are trying to kill us! I left a delivery box for my own 3 to play with, and that's what snagged me in the dark! I knocked the wind out of myself when I landed and think I probably rebroke the same wrist I broke many moons ago that was "fixed" with plates and screws. It was painful and swollen but because I had so many problems, pain, and disability after that ugly surgery, I opted to put on a wrist brace and let nature takes its course... it certainly couldn't do any worse!

I’ve only got one cat, but he was lurking in the dark right in the doorway to the kitchen and I went flying (so did he) I laid spread eagled on the floor for what seemed like hours, but it was only 10 minutes 😂 I thought for sure I’d broken every bone in the front part of my body. As I was laying there, all I could think about was, “blimey, this floor could do with a hoover” 🤣🤣

    This is Exactly where I feel tightening and sometimes experience loss of balance on my left (stroke effected) leg, now 20+ years post stroke. I had recently retired from a 15 year sitting 8 hrs a day job. And now strength training and walking an hour a day to correct. Upon waking the next day, tightness to the outer left side of left leg nags me, so on alternate days, plan to reintroduce Egoscue Painfree ( cd found on Amazon still) Method floor stretching to help. Closest thing I found that uses many exercises I remember from physical therapists in Stroke Rehab. Good especially for desk job jockey’s and over 50 crowd for reawakening your joints.❤

      @NaturesInfiniteWELLth-fo6rs Місяць тому

      I recommend to go very slow. It should help the lower back as well, in combination with some others. So much help on youtube. 💝 Gently easing into a stretch or anything I find I get a lot more out of it. Forcing anything typically causes injury and longer setbacks.
      Diet plays a huge role in our wellth also. I recommend The Weston A Price Foundation’s website for a lot of great info.

    Should the right leg be straight when the left one is lifted and vice versa-or should the knee of the balancing leg be soft or even slightly bent? My concern is that ‘locking’ the knee could cause injury.

      Hello, you should stay somewhat exhaled as you do the exercise. The concept is that to tighten your core, you have to engage your pelvic floor and abdominal muscles. One way to do this is to remain slightly exhaled as you perform the exercise, just breathing with a shallow patern.

      That is often the source of the muscle weakness, but piriforis syndrom is a result of weakness. Sciatica can occur in anyone, even without disc herniation, if they simply overuse their pirifomris muscle. If you stand and lean forward too long, you will have sciaitc pain.
