    Hi Nathan YOU ARE THE BEST!! I had a stroke nine years ago and NO ONE has taught me how you've taught me. I think you are awesome and heaven sent you to help us with strokes. I have always gone to my physical therapy and done my exercises and whatnot but I never could find someone who made me feel like I was getting better. I can actually say I AM GETTING BETTER!! I cannot thank you enough and I am telling everyone that you're the best physical therapist I have ever been to.
    God Bless You Nathan!!

We've also made links and titles to dozens of your videos and have shared them with our OT and PT providers. Thank you.

    I’m in the same situation . I suffered a massive stroke 13 years ago, and still having to cope with a clinched fist and a stiff elbow that won’t move, no matter how hard I tried. When I asked my regular doctor about undergoing more rehabilitation, their answer always go out of the back window or the back door and having private insurance, HMO will barely pay for the necessities. I wished that you were my therapist and that you could help me. Also, my last question is, do you have any features for a person that suffers from the footdrop syndrome because I still walk with a severe debilitating foot drop? Thank you so much and I am a new subscriber. And by the way, I also have congestive heart failure, and you have featured video to help me and enhance my quality of life! You’re truly a gem, and a life saver!☺️🥰

    • @SKILLSANDWELLNESS

    I had a hemorrhagic stroke 10 months ago in my right arm, hand and foot. After watching your channel, I can walk again. I just use a cane or walker for outside. My right arm has also improved. However, I can only move my right arm up and down, and when I move my right arm, its always in a fist, which means my brain and muscles are miscommnicating. I don't have that range of motion. I'm gonna get botox, and do the arm exercises afterwards since it's my right arm giving me most trouble. Akin.
