Thank you for explaining how the body moves when we are walking. I have Ankylosing Spondylitis and am in recovery from an extremely painful flare episode that lasted a year. I have challenges in all the joints you described that enable us to walk. I have been cleared to exercise and go to physical therapy finally so will try to incorporate these movements into my daily routine.
Please recommend a excercise that can improve my walking, because for 3 years my left leg gives way when I want to step on it😢 also pain on the outside of the hip, so I opted for a walking stick. Scans and X-rays didn’t explain the problem. Thank you for your time.
I am having the same problem as you have mine is caused by degenerative discs in the back pinching my sciatic nerve I have weakness in the leg if I turn a certain way I could just collapse so I'm using a cane also Plus I do have bone-on bone in the hip but they say a lot of times that doesn't really have pain so I've been using red light therapy on the discs in my back I bought a handheld unit and I also I'm going to purchase a shockwave therapy wand that can break up and make more flexible the discs and if a nerve is being pinched no artificial joint for me and no operation on my back for me and I also did QC Kinetics in Asheville North Carolina and they said it would take time for the cartilage to build and I'm praying that it works thank you
Hi Alyssa hope all is well. I just git finished watching your "Hip" video and LOVED IT!!! So many unanswered questions throughout the years were answered in a matter of seconds!!! So much so, that I subscribed to your channel!! Thank you so much for that ❤ When you mentioned that you made a "KNEE" video I nearly jumped for JOY. Not yet but soon LOL with the help of your videos. I will continue to listen, learn and EDUCATE myself along with setting a few short term goals for myself. Slowly but surely,baby steps if I have to,to achieve them. One such fpal is ro ride a bike again !! Not that I don't know how,it just becomes difficult and very painful to raise my R knee. I also find myself for rhe past two or so yrs.walking backwards down the flights of stairs (family and friends home) but while put of homes I descend like a child, one leg and one step at a time. Believe it or not this same leg with the painful knee is rhe dominate , up and down the steps. But that will change with your video.😁👍 😅
The PT told me that it is knee replacement surgery that will stop my limping , I told him that I do not want any surgery . As I come to see this video,by these exercises, you have proved them wrong. You are well learned and helping humanity. May God Almighty increase your wisdom everyday
There are situations when surgery is the best option. We were given brains and not to use them is an insult to your creator. Leaving aside the need for your doctor to make money, esp if you live, say, in the US, most doctors aim to use their knowkedge for your benefit. At least listen to them. Ask for the reasons he/she suggests surgery. Ask about alternatives such as 1 to 1 physio advice. Dont be fooled by ads for cbd either. The doses are far too low. But the use of your own mind using relaxation and the placebo effect of telling yourself this is reducing the problem is free.
Her doctorate is in physical therapy! She is smart and very knowledgeable in the area of PT. OTH, MDs have 4 years of med school, and then up to 3 or more! years as residents where they learn about their specialty such as orthopedics.
Absolutely Mind Blown!! I injured myself September 2023, diagnosed with left ankle trimalleolar fracture. I am almost 12 visits in to my physical therapy journey and still felt very apprehensive putting full weight on my left ankle, partially due to mobility and fear. I came across this post and it addressed my insecurity which gave me confidence to try the 3 exercises. I’m shocked!!!! I tried each exercise 3 times, each time paying attention to the mobility of my toes, the position and movement of my entire foot and leg and I immediately started taking longer steps with very minimal limp. Thank you, you are a life saver! Anyone who’s suffered injury or dealing with mobility restriction knows how I feel. It is a physical, emotional and mental journey. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I can’t thank you enough!
Thank you for this. I've put a reminder in my phone so that I can do this every day. I am so over limping around like I'm a thousand years old. I miss walking. 😒
My husband loves your video and the way you demonstrated the different limps and why they occur has helped him. He is going to do the exercises you recommend 😘
Three years ago I was a long distance backpacker, long distance biker, and adventurer. Then I had a stroke. I went through all the PT and did all the medical things I was told to do and I can now walk and open bottles and all the things, except adventure. This was a nightmare and depressing. I gained lots of weight. My hips, hip flexors, legs and back were weak and so stiff. Then a month ago I found your videos and I know its for arthritis but its helped me so much! I think in time I'll be able to get back to adventure again. I can't tell you how much hope and normalcy i have got from your videos helping me. I can pick up things from the ground, i have less stiffness and I have more range of motion in my bad foot. Thank you so much for these videos I know they weren't for me but they have given me pain relief and hope.
I’m going through the same thing. I hiked all the time and did professional landscape photography and then I had two mild strokes. I’ve had a bad limp for 15 months now from muscle spasticity. I’ve got a lot of pain issues from it too. I’m going to try her exercises.
I had knee surgery done on my left knee four years ago, now the right knee is acting up but I don't want to do surgery.Two months ago I came across your Vedo, stop limping and I started doing the all the strength exercises, now am so much stronger, thank you so much you are a blessing I truly appreciate what you are doing. I am seeing great results, and will continue, thank you God bless you 💗
Beegle, all the best, brother. I too like adventure a lot. Both my ankles dislocated. I m forbidden to bungee jumping.As u r determined to return to an adventurous life,& doing sll exercises,definitely you would win. My gut feelings for you. ❤
I did these three exercise and then attempted normal walk. They are amazing, I took my first "normal" steps after 5 months of limp-walking. THANK YOU!!!!
I too truly appreciate the time and effort you put into all your videos. It is plain to see that you have listened to many patients as you have a full understand of how OA can not only limit you physically but also mentally - losing confidence, becoming pain averse etc. You are helping so many people get their lives back Alyssa. Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤🤗
My sentiments exactly she has such a pleasant ,& understandable demeanor as well as great communication skills ,Beautiful in & out jus Sayin, Take Care A.K. thanx for being You.
I love this channel. Alyssa has helped me a lot. Before I found this channel, I used to go to Physical Therapy for a knee injury and needed leg strength because I became weaker with that injury. The therapist where I WAS going was so lazy, He'd show how to do an exercise one time......and that was it. He wouldn't come back to see if I need assistance or if I was even doing the exercise correctly. After two months I left, I felt I was wasting my money! I found THIS channel with Alyssa and have been exercising with her videos. She has helped a lot. 💜
It’s really impressive how you know exactly how we feel without having the ailment yourself. I’ve been to two therapists local to my area and while they empathize and have been helpful, they just can’t seem to hone in on my true struggles, despite explaining as best as I can. Thank you for this video, I will be doin these daily.
This is absolutely fantastic. I'm a dancer that has had serious foot injuries, limping and other gait, leg, hip, and back problems and I've been to 12 different physical therapy labs in Los Angeles with most graduates from USC or UCLA and I have never gotten one of your common sense solutions from any PT lab.!!! I've turned to UA-cam for help which has provided common sense from around the planet and thank goodness I did that for myself. Thank you so much. And what just helped is the foot collective and pain academy. My foot arch is being rebuilt.
@@missbrown5609 What just helped me the best is joining the Pain Academy as well as the youtube group the foot collective. I'm doing foot exercises that have rebuilt the arch.
This felt so good but it's late at night and I have to go to sleep. I can't wait to do them again tomorrow. I drove as my job for 19 years and I know that really made my muscles unbalanced. Can't wait to build up my muscles
I have a sprained ankle and this exercise has really helped me will be repeating 3 times a day at the lower end and increase just want to say thank you for putting these exercises on here.
I've been dealing with limping since my car accident in 2021. I broke my femur and I have severe hip pain and knee pain on same side. I'm beyond happy to have found your videos. Thanks you so much for sharing your knowledge. I'm beyond grateful 🙂
I just had hip replacement after fall told I need both knees replaced I stumbled upon you and am so grateful I did I am seeing dlight but immediate more mobility and less pain thank you
So glad I came accross you. You are so spot on with everything you are saying. What I especially like about your practice suggestions is, that these exercises can be done in any room or outside, without any special equipment or lying on the floor. It is all just so practical and easy to understand. And thank you for your measured delivery. Some other well meaning therapists just talk too fast for me, I suppose when you need to focus whilst coping with your disability, your mind cannot take up additional information at the speed it could without the disability. Thank you, you are ablessing.
This one actually worked on the very first day I tried it. I walked through two stores without a limp. Along with the vid for increasing walking distance, I think I can make an outdoor concert or two this year!🎉🎉🎉 Thanks, Alyssa!
Heartiest gratitude to you for explaining so deep. You are like a forensic scientist for PT. I just felt 100% confident and effective. I just improved my 27 years of limping after motorcycle accident. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Very interesting video explaining how the toes are involved with walking and changing the brain patterns and strengthening the weak area. tried it a few times and I can now see the imbalances causing my limp.
Hi Alyssa , I’m 58yrs old and have been told I need a hip replacement 😢 I used to be so active and happy in life but this has taken its toll on my body and mind. Their are days when I just want to give up on life as I’m in so much pain and can’t do the things ii use to. Find it a struggle even to just go out for a 10 minute walk as I’m limping so badly . I’m going to try these exercises to see if they can help me before I resort to a replacement 🙏 if their is anything else you can advise me to help , would be gladly appreciated! Thank you for all your video’s ❤
Find FAI Fix Program - listen to their stories! Activate your butt m, medius m, core m. Stretch flexors. Roll every day. Use hitted pad. Biofreeze for the night. Use electric blanket. All of those helped me.❤
I feel your pain. I'm 60 and have pelvic pain doing a simple walk. My right knee collapses in pain spams and my hip buckles. I'm using a cane but not really helpful
Get an MRI on lumbar region. I had same issue as you and was told I needed hip replacement. One leg looked longer than the other. T turned out I had spinal stenosis. The limping comes from sacral of the back per Dr Ennis who has a UA-cam channel. Best advice because if I went with hip replacement I would have had an expensive surgery for nothing. Neither of those hip doctors were good at explaining hip pain / limping and longer leg with turn out foot. So that made me doubt hip surgery was in the cards. In the end I had to have spinal fusion surgery.
This is my 4th month recovering from a tib/fib fracture. Want to regain balance and lose the limp. Your exercises are extremely helpful. Thanks Dr. Alyssa ❤
Hi this is my first time watching your videos. At first I said here we go again,someone that's fit and firm. It's so refreshing and helpful to listen and learn from you.Thank you so much 💓 for being an awesome teacher..God is so good!!!
Wow, I'm totally impress about your explanation to each steps and I did them as you explained. I developed a hip bursitis on my left side around 2 weeks ago. I'm on meds for inflammation and nerve pain. I was given 3 exercises to do as often as I can do during the day. Today I came across your video and decided to add those to my regiment exercises . I feel hopeful that these will help me big time. Thank you for taking the time to share those videos
I would love to have you as my physical therapist! You explain these movements so clearly its like your in the room with me! Just subscribed & I've already benefitted from these exercises. Thank you for all your info!😊
This video was so helpful. You broke down some reasons for limping and how to strengthen them. Too bad physical therapists or doctors Ive had, never explain any of this. They have alot to learn about providing effective treatment. It would be nice if theyd explain it so the patient can understand what's going on in their body and know how their exercises would help. Thank you so much!
That is sooooo helpful! I immediately tried your exercises and can see what I need to work on - specifically. I am more mobile than my confidence has led me to believe, but there are also areas of stiffness that I will start working on. You may have given me back my ability to walk, which is something I love. Thank you.
That's so great to hear you like the video! Keep the confidence up! If you want to take it to the next level, make sure to check out the Adventurers for Life membership we have!
I do these every day and can’t believe how it loosens my and back area. Really, I get out of bed bent over, then do these three, and I’m upright with almost all pain gone! She’s wonderful really really helped me! And they’re easy and quick
Just discovered your videos. The beauty in your presentations is that you take the time to share WHY something may be happening and WHY a certain exercise can help. Also like that there's no shame in having to use a chair support for a while to get started. Thank you!
You show such great patience in the description and prescription to get better. I am 58 and recovering from a complex meniscus bucket tear. I am working through all phases of mobility, strength and range of motion. I appreciate the figure four video and this one. Subscribed and happy to have found you! Thank you so very much.
I'm scheduled for hip surgery next week and this video is just what I needed! The movements you demonstrate here are PERFECT for my limp. I know it'll be a long haul for me but I'm in it to win it and with your guidance I'm POSITIVE I'll be just fine!!! Thank you for all of your teachings! ❤
I just had my total hip replacement done 4 days ago and BINGO....NO LIMP!! Osteoarthritis is a wicked thing to endure....so happy it's gone. I will, however, continue on with your knowledge and guidance through your videos!! God bless you and for all that you provide with your videos.
omg this is exactly what I needed! Limping is exhausting. I was diagnosed with torn meniscus and osteo arthritis and I've been limping for about 4 months now.
Thank you for this video!❤ I started having extreme tailbone pain over 2 years ago, the past year horrible plantar fasciitis with nerve pain. Walking has been so painful and limited! I noticed my hips hurting when I would do the little bit of walking. About 2 weeks ago, I started doing 10-minute yoga videos for hips, glutes, and tailbone....I believe it's helping. Now, I'll include your video exercises! I have gained weight being so depressed with my body issues these past few years, but I'm determined to reclaim my health! I had been searching for videos to help walk, I didn't find any helpful ones until now! I definitely could tell my limping & overcompensating when walking was aggravating everything! Thank you again, I can't wait to walk better!❤
Thank U ever so much brilliant Dr Alyssa⚘ - for Ur hopeful program. Started today & though(struggling along,) know it's going to help immensely. Wish I had known of U, years earlier, when my beloved Mum was with me. Very grateful thanks🙏
Your explanations and exercises are so different when you speak about opening up the range of motion and quality of repetitions to heal injuries/stiffness is so helpful. Thank you for this video.
You content is really awesome. My wife has had many of these issues and your videos really have given us understanding of things she can do for her to get back to being active again. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you. 🙏
Good morning love hope you’re a well i been watching your program for few weeks i been limping and in pain for more than 12 weeks am glad I so you on you tube and slowly am following a lot of you movements thank you God Bless you thank you you tube 🇦🇺💖🇦🇺🐨🦘👍🏻
Thank you so much for this video. It's been so helpful to me. I have a combination of tight tendons, hip bursitis and an old injury in one leg that added up to a persistent limp and soreness. I tried some bursitis PT exercises from another channel but found them so painful I couldn't keep up with them. The heel lifts and staggered heel lifts worked wonders for me. I couldn't do many at first, but I could see progress -- each time, I could do more. Best of all, they caused no pain. From another of your videos, I learned that my default stance was on one leg and called "hip adduction" and that it wasn't helping my situation. So whenever I found myself getting into that stance, I did heel lifts instead. 😀 I got to the point I could do heel lifts throughout washing the dishes. I realized tonight I could stand still and bear weight on both feet without hip adduction and without pain or soreness for the first time in months or years -- real progress and a big change! Thank you again.
I’ve been diagnosed with having a trendelenburg gait. The P. T. Focused on increasing my glutes strength. Still can not alternate my feet going up and down stairs a little bit better, taking a long time. Going down stairs one leg at a time. Seems like my knee doesn’t want to bend. Love that you are a holistic P.T. Thank you. I’ve subscribed.
Thank you, thank you.!!! This is a game changer. I am doing your exercises and they are helping so much. I was recently told I have arthritis in my right knee, but probably both, the right one has been the issue. I was told knee replacement in the future. My ex-husband has double knee arthritis and it's bone on bone. Anyway, these exercises are making a difference for me, along with internment fasting and keto ( only eating one meal a day). This helps with inflammation and has already helped me in a short time. This is my 5th day doing the IF. I officially did these exercises and also another video with more exercises. Thank you for your time and caring about others. May God bless you always.
The excersises are so helpful and delivered beautifully with understanding and gentle encouragement. At last I think I'm on the right track and so glad I found this! With sincere gratitude -Thank you! 💕
Thank you so much, Alyssa . I have been limping for quite a while now, after a back problem . I had neuro surgery to release a nerve last year. While waiting for the surgery, I developed a limp. I have been doing exercises, and trying to strengthening my muscles and obtain better balance and better movement. I still have a limp, even though I can feel safer and stronger using the leg. I found you this morning. You have explained all I have been through and why, so I feel in control and feel confident I am doing the right thing. Also it is just the right timing to practice these exercises. You are amazing . Thank you Thank you Thank you ❤
I really appreciate your videos. You are just so direct to the actual problems . It gets to be humiliating and depressing in pain a without mobility. My whole life being an endurance outdoorsman. And being reduce to a stick man . And you help so much to regain some mobility and freedom . I constantly tell myself i should have been nicer to old people when i was younger knowing now what it feels like.
Watching this video almost 6 months from a severe ankle sprain and 4 fractures in my foot. PT and acupuncture are helping, but thank you for acknowledging how scary it can be to put weight on that foot. Toe and hip flexibility I am really working on to help with the weaker side that seemed to have forgotten how to walk from using a boot and a knee scooter for months. I will try to do these execises throughout the day to keep things moving (stiffness is the enemy right now). Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video I really needed this I'm P.O. 3mths Knee replacement surgery on right leg have issues Limping trying to get my walking better I get so frustrated have tightness on my knee do my work outs my range of motion is 90 knee bending which is not bad working so hard on it they I will on time get better get my life style back on all the things I need to do I will be watching more of you're videos for a better outcome I'm from Chicago Illinois 😊 May you have a bless Easter Sunday.
Thank you ..your videos is so helpful. I had a arthroscopic meniscus clean up and plica resection in March. But feel like since then I'm in more pain and instability. Your exercises are helping me so much. Thank you . I just want to be active again.
What can i do if my right knee cannot bend as much as my left knee , it feel so.painful I had a muniscus tear and i mever was able to do the things i use to with my right leg like putting my right leg on top.of my left but i can put my left leg on top of my right leg and is like that when i climb the steps my right leg doesn't bend normal, thanks for this exercises , i'm going to do them every day, i really want to stop this limping, have a Blessed day☺
Thank You.. this technic Works! I been suffering from getting off the couch and toilet but holding my knees slightly apart and apply pressure to close gap pushing forward really did the trick.. I was getting ready to install handle bars on my wall by the toilet 😢
Thanks so much for this video! I’ve been recovering 15 months from a mild stroke and I have muscle spasticity in my right leg and it makes me limp and I have hip pain from it. I’ve tried a lot of PT but this is the best explanation of exercises I’ve seen to start working on it!
I love all your videos and my hips been hurting for years now I do the bending of the knee pushed to the wall and my hips stopped hurting thank you so much for all your great videos❤

Just found your channel. What's a good first step to getting psoas to release and lift the leg. My hips are super tight.
I've been dealing with limping since my car accident in 2021. I broke my femur and I have severe hip pain and knee pain on same side. I'm beyond happy to have found your videos. Thanks you so much for sharing your knowledge. I'm beyond grateful 🙂
I just had hip replacement after fall told I need both knees replaced I stumbled upon you and am so grateful I did I am seeing dlight but immediate more mobility and less pain thank you
You are welcome! Glad you liked the video.
So glad I came accross you. You are so spot on with everything you are saying. What I especially like about your practice suggestions is, that these exercises can be done in any room or outside, without any special equipment or lying on the floor. It is all just so practical and easy to understand. And thank you for your measured delivery. Some other well meaning therapists just talk too fast for me, I suppose when you need to focus whilst coping with your disability, your mind cannot take up additional information at the speed it could without the disability. Thank you, you are ablessing.
I'm so glad you found the channel too! Thanks for the kind words.
I am definitely going to be doing these. I have been limping for years. Bone on bone in my right knee. Thank you for your time.
You are so welcome!
I have osteoarthritis in my feet but reasonable range of motion so hopefully these will still help. Im74❤❤
This one actually worked on the very first day I tried it. I walked through two stores without a limp. Along with the vid for increasing walking distance, I think I can make an outdoor concert or two this year!🎉🎉🎉
Thanks, Alyssa!
That’s great!
Love this. I hope it works for me
Heartiest gratitude to you for explaining so deep. You are like a forensic scientist for PT. I just felt 100% confident and effective. I just improved my 27 years of limping after motorcycle accident. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I’m so happy to hear that 🩷
Very interesting video explaining how the toes are involved with walking and changing the brain patterns and strengthening the weak area. tried it a few times and I can now see the imbalances causing my limp.
Glad it was helpful!
Alyssa is out here saving lives!!!!!! I pray that you stay blessed beyond measure!!! 🧡
Thanks so much for your kind words.
Hi Alyssa , I’m 58yrs old and have been told I need a hip replacement 😢 I used to be so active and happy in life but this has taken its toll on my body and mind. Their are days when I just want to give up on life as I’m in so much pain and can’t do the things ii use to. Find it a struggle even to just go out for a 10 minute walk as I’m limping so badly . I’m going to try these exercises to see if they can help me before I resort to a replacement 🙏 if their is anything else you can advise me to help , would be gladly appreciated! Thank you for all your video’s ❤
Daily meditation and prayer helps ♎️
Find FAI Fix Program - listen to their stories! Activate your butt m, medius m, core m. Stretch flexors. Roll every day. Use hitted pad. Biofreeze for the night. Use electric blanket. All of those helped me.❤
I feel your pain. I'm 60 and have pelvic pain doing a simple walk. My right knee collapses in pain spams and my hip buckles. I'm using a cane but not really helpful
Get an MRI on lumbar region. I had same issue as you and was told I needed hip replacement. One leg looked longer than the other. T turned out I had spinal stenosis. The limping comes from sacral of the back per Dr Ennis who has a UA-cam channel. Best advice because if I went with hip replacement I would have had an expensive surgery for nothing. Neither of those hip doctors were good at explaining hip pain / limping and longer leg with turn out foot. So that made me doubt hip surgery was in the cards. In the end I had to have spinal fusion surgery.
😢 same... and when I try to go for walks, my back gets really tight
This is my 4th month recovering from a tib/fib fracture. Want to regain balance and lose the limp. Your exercises are extremely helpful. Thanks Dr. Alyssa ❤
I'm glad you like the exercises!
Hi this is my first time watching your videos. At first I said here we go again,someone that's fit and firm. It's so refreshing and helpful to listen and learn from you.Thank you so much 💓 for being an awesome teacher..God is so good!!!
Hi, welcome to the channel! Thank you for your very kind words.
@@arthritisadventure you are welcome, enjoy your day.
Thank you very much Dr Kuhn for helping . You are a true Blessing 😊😍
I am so excited you have addresses this. I saw a video of me walking and I thought omg...I need help and here you are....blessings! Ty ty ty
You are so welcome
This excellent p/Y spends lots of time o the importamce of toes and ankles - quite forgotten elements of safe a d easy walking.
Alyssa’s knowledge is very impressive
Thank you for the kind words.
Wow, I'm totally impress about your explanation to each steps and I did them as you explained. I developed a hip bursitis on my left side around 2 weeks ago. I'm on meds for inflammation and nerve pain. I was given 3 exercises to do as often as I can do during the day. Today I came across your video and decided to add those to my regiment exercises . I feel hopeful that these will help me big time. Thank you for taking the time to share those videos
I would love to have you as my physical therapist! You explain these movements so clearly its like your in the room with me! Just subscribed & I've already benefitted from these exercises. Thank you for all your info!😊
You are so welcome! Thanks for the subscription.
You are GOD SENT to help humanity Alyssa. May your breed keep growing.
This video was so helpful. You broke down some reasons for limping and how to strengthen them. Too bad physical therapists or doctors Ive had, never explain any of this. They have alot to learn about providing effective treatment. It would be nice if theyd explain it so the patient can understand what's going on in their body and know how their exercises would help. Thank you so much!
That is sooooo helpful! I immediately tried your exercises and can see what I need to work on - specifically. I am more mobile than my confidence has led me to believe, but there are also areas of stiffness that I will start working on. You may have given me back my ability to walk, which is something I love. Thank you.
That's so great to hear you like the video! Keep the confidence up! If you want to take it to the next level, make sure to check out the Adventurers for Life membership we have!
I appreciate the time you take to explain why each exercise is important and how they combine to strengthen all the joints. Thank you.
❤❤❤❤
You’re so welcome!
I do these every day and can’t believe how it loosens my and back area. Really, I get out of bed bent over, then do these three, and I’m upright with almost all pain gone! She’s wonderful really really helped me! And they’re easy and quick
Just discovered your videos. The beauty in your presentations is that you take the time to share WHY something may be happening and WHY a certain exercise can help. Also like that there's no shame in having to use a chair support for a while to get started. Thank you!
You are welcome! And understanding the WHY is important.
You show such great patience in the description and prescription to get better. I am 58 and recovering from a complex meniscus bucket tear. I am working through all phases of mobility, strength and range of motion. I appreciate the figure four video and this one. Subscribed and happy to have found you! Thank you so very much.
You're welcome! I'm glad you found the channel too!
I'm scheduled for hip surgery next week and this video is just what I needed! The movements you demonstrate here are PERFECT for my limp. I know it'll be a long haul for me but I'm in it to win it and with your guidance I'm POSITIVE I'll be just fine!!! Thank you for all of your teachings! ❤
Good luck in your surgery! Glad you like the teachings.
@@arthritisadventurethank you!!
I just had my total hip replacement done 4 days ago and BINGO....NO LIMP!! Osteoarthritis is a wicked thing to endure....so happy it's gone. I will, however, continue on with your knowledge and guidance through your videos!! God bless you and for all that you provide with your videos.
So glad you like the videos! Have a great day.
Alyssa, your instructions are so clear and simple. You’re VERY good! Thank you 🙏🏽
So glad you like it.
omg this is exactly what I needed! Limping is exhausting. I was diagnosed with torn meniscus and osteo arthritis and I've been limping for about 4 months now.
Glad it helped!
Thank you for this video!❤ I started having extreme tailbone pain over 2 years ago, the past year horrible plantar fasciitis with nerve pain. Walking has been so painful and limited! I noticed my hips hurting when I would do the little bit of walking. About 2 weeks ago, I started doing 10-minute yoga videos for hips, glutes, and tailbone....I believe it's helping. Now, I'll include your video exercises! I have gained weight being so depressed with my body issues these past few years, but I'm determined to reclaim my health! I had been searching for videos to help walk, I didn't find any helpful ones until now! I definitely could tell my limping & overcompensating when walking was aggravating everything! Thank you again, I can't wait to walk better!❤
Thanks for sharing your story and so glad you're like the exercises.
Hi your exercises are so basic and beneficial it's unbelievable
So glad to hear! Have a great day.
Thank you so much for the video l have a limp due to a painful hip l will try this looks manageable.
Thank U ever so much brilliant Dr Alyssa⚘ - for Ur hopeful program. Started today & though(struggling along,) know it's going to help immensely.
Wish I had known of U, years earlier, when my beloved Mum was with me.
Very grateful thanks🙏
You got this!
Your explanations and exercises are so different when you speak about opening up the range of motion and quality of repetitions to heal injuries/stiffness is so helpful. Thank you for this video.
Glad you like the video!
Thank you Alison. These exercises are definitely do-able. Your explanations are clear and concise and easy to undestand .
Glad you like them!
Thanks so much for this video! I have dropped feet and will try your exercises.
You're so welcome!
I have knee on knee pain.l limp all the time.I will try these movements. Hoping for improvement.Thankyou from South Australia.
You're so welcome!
This is educational and helpful. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
You content is really awesome. My wife has had many of these issues and your videos really have given us understanding of things she can do for her to get back to being active again. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you. 🙏
Thank you for your kind words!
Working on hip osteoarthritis. Good suggestions. Thanks!
You can do it!
Good morning love hope you’re a well i been watching your program for few weeks i been limping and in pain for more than 12 weeks am glad I so you on you tube and slowly am following a lot of you movements thank you God Bless you thank you you tube 🇦🇺💖🇦🇺🐨🦘👍🏻
Thank you so much for this video. It's been so helpful to me. I have a combination of tight tendons, hip bursitis and an old injury in one leg that added up to a persistent limp and soreness. I tried some bursitis PT exercises from another channel but found them so painful I couldn't keep up with them.
The heel lifts and staggered heel lifts worked wonders for me. I couldn't do many at first, but I could see progress -- each time, I could do more. Best of all, they caused no pain. From another of your videos, I learned that my default stance was on one leg and called "hip adduction" and that it wasn't helping my situation. So whenever I found myself getting into that stance, I did heel lifts instead. 😀
I got to the point I could do heel lifts throughout washing the dishes. I realized tonight I could stand still and bear weight on both feet without hip adduction and without pain or soreness for the first time in months or years -- real progress and a big change! Thank you again.
Thank you so much for your support Dr Kuhn!
You’re so welcome!
I’ve been diagnosed with having a trendelenburg gait. The P. T. Focused on increasing my glutes strength. Still can not alternate my feet going up and down stairs a little bit better, taking a long time. Going down stairs one leg at a time. Seems like my knee doesn’t want to bend. Love that you are a holistic P.T. Thank you. I’ve subscribed.
Saw you but it was on a Nightshift break, forgot where I'd seen you ! Did a deep dive and found you again and so happy I did ! Thank you
sooooo adorable!! wish I could have you as my personal instructor!!!
Thank you! You are professional!
Thanks for watching!
Its my back that accomodates the pain from my knees, besides limping i also walk with my back leaning really forward.
I'll bet she doesn't cover this.
I have the same issue.
Utube will harrow
Oh my goodness. That is exactly what I am doing and I didn't even realize it. Thank you!!!
You are so welcome!
Alyssa you are excellent. Thank you, for your instructions... You are Heaven Sent.
Wow, thank you!
Very well explained. Thank you. Hope it will help me.
Best of luck!
Please make some videos if the various exercises you show here. Thanks!
Best video with the best explanations on what causes limping and movements of the exercises! I’m very excited to try these movements
So glad you like them!
Thank you, thank you.!!! This is a game changer. I am doing your exercises and they are helping so much. I was recently told I have arthritis in my right knee, but probably both, the right one has been the issue. I was told knee replacement in the future. My ex-husband has double knee arthritis and it's bone on bone. Anyway, these exercises are making a difference for me, along with internment fasting and keto ( only eating one meal a day). This helps with inflammation and has already helped me in a short time. This is my 5th day doing the IF. I officially did these exercises and also another video with more exercises. Thank you for your time and caring about others. May God bless you always.
So glad you are liking the video so much!
Excellent!! Simple and effortless!! Thank you so much, I have been limping for years.
Glad it helped!
The excersises are so helpful and delivered beautifully with understanding and gentle encouragement. At last I think I'm on the right track and so glad I found this! With sincere gratitude -Thank you! 💕
Wonderful!
You are awesome Alyssa❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️you have very Deep knowledge of your field.. thanks a million times..
You’re so welcome!
Just what I needed after 6weeks knee replacement n limp. Thank u so much. Really appreciate it. God bless u
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much, Alyssa .
I have been limping for quite a while now, after a back problem .
I had neuro surgery to release a nerve last year.
While waiting for the surgery, I developed a limp.
I have been doing exercises, and trying to strengthening my muscles and obtain better balance and better movement.
I still have a limp, even though I can feel safer and stronger using the leg.
I found you this morning.
You have explained all I have been through and why, so I feel in control and feel confident I am doing the right thing.
Also it is just the right timing to practice these exercises.
You are amazing .
Thank you Thank you Thank you ❤
I hope this video can help!
Going to try this. Thank you.
Hope it helps!
Very well taught- great job!
Glad it was helpful!
I really appreciate your videos. You are just so direct to the actual problems . It gets to be humiliating and depressing in pain a without mobility. My whole life being an endurance outdoorsman. And being reduce to a stick man . And you help so much to regain some mobility and freedom . I constantly tell myself i should have been nicer to old people when i was younger knowing now what it feels like.
Watching this video almost 6 months from a severe ankle sprain and 4 fractures in my foot. PT and acupuncture are helping, but thank you for acknowledging how scary it can be to put weight on that foot. Toe and hip flexibility I am really working on to help with the weaker side that seemed to have forgotten how to walk from using a boot and a knee scooter for months. I will try to do these execises throughout the day to keep things moving (stiffness is the enemy right now). Thank you!
Thank you for this video!!! Looking forward to doing them!!! 🙏🏻♥️
You are so welcome!
