    Dear Will Harlow I just want to say that in my life I don't think I have ever really known how my bones muscles and body really worked until your videos
    Now I know about why things happen and how to help myself. After knee replacement in the summer I credit the physios who hoped me for a quick recovery, so here's to you all and I wish you Will nothing buy health wealth and happiness.keepmaking videos because I'm either having g it or going to get it in the future and I'll be prepared. Thanks again Sheila k

    For a long time I have held the belief that many aches and pains can be resolved through stretching, exercise and massage if you just know where to start, what to target and what to do. So it has been a joy to find this channel that helps me take that belief to another level. Great explanations and so many stretches and exercises that on my own I would never have thought of or tried. Thanks Will.

    I was very fit until 2021 when my back started to hurt. I went to the physio at the local hospital who told me to carry on exercising which I did and, ultimately, I injured my back more which eventually went into spasm. 2 years on I am still in constant pain. Too late for me but a video on acute back injuries would be very useful.

    • @antonioj.castaneda7377
      @antonioj.castaneda7377 Рік тому +2

      It is never too late, you just need to right help and tools to rehab! Take care!

    • @rocktapperrobin9372
      @rocktapperrobin9372 Рік тому

      Not too late.
      Like you I was very fit but had episodes of back pain probably caused by enforced bad posture when I was still working. Then 2 years ago my back went into extreme spasm so that I could hardly move. Owing to lockdowns I couldn’t get to see anyone so the condition if anything worsened for 2 months. Then I saw an osteopath who over 5 or 6 sessions unlocked everything. So I would recommend finding a good osteopath. GPs useless, they will only give you painkillers.
      Now I am having trouble walking, probably because the leg muscles got weak, and I am finding some of these physiotherapy exercises on this channel very useful. Not up to scratch yet but rapidly improving.
      But do see someone! Worth the money to get your health back. And best if luck.

    Excellent video for me. Lower back stiffness is my big problem. My goal is to be able to walk freely while standing straight up. I am 77 years old and 3 years ago I had my L3, L4, L5 and S1 fused. It fixed my severe sciatica problem and kept me out of a wheel chair and I am able to do almost anything now except walk fast and walk standing straight up. Because of my previous problems and age, what should my realistic expectations be? Should I be happy with what I've got, or should I keep trying for more? I watch your videos and do the simple exercises you recommend for seniors.

    Hi Will, I do need to carry out these exercises as you described my back issues precisely. I also have a meniscus tear for which I receive ultra sound. My question is can I undertake these exercises without aggravating my knee.

    I love your videos and often keep doing the exercises you are showing us. It is quite a coincidence that this morning I had an appointment with a surgeon who specializes in lower back problems.
    He suggested I ought to have more exercises meant especially for the lower back. Now I shall start with these ones. One question: Tightness, I saw you on one knee but did not see you move at all.
    Which part of your body did you push or pull? It was the third in the group of exercises intended for tightness. Thank you. Regards from the Northern Countries of Europe.

    Hi...I'm a 48 year old male, reasonably fit, working out everyday for the last 30 years. About 80% of my workout is body weight ( pull up, push up, running, shadow bowling, stretching etc) & 20% is light / medium weights.
    I play active cricket.
    In October last year, while doing a dorsiflexion stretch in lying down posture, I got pain symptoms of sciatica ( due to a disc bulge). Terrible pain lasted for about 7-8 days & after that it's negligible. I'm doing core strengthening for last 8 months but a certain part of my left leg - near the outer calf muscle, still feels lightly numb. Sensory perceptions are 100% all right even there ( as per tests) but that numbness / rubbery kind of feeling persists. I am a left arm fast bowler in cricket & wish to continue with the game without debilitating perils to my back. Is that possible ?

    This Will Harlow video should have more views. Tightness, Weakness, Stiffness: Oh My! Will's exercises are golden especially since concise explanation and clear instruction only took 13 minutes and 46 seconds!
    Thanks be to God for you!
    Almighty God bless everybody!
    In Greek, sin means missing the mark! Instead, Will hits the bull's eye! Many of us are appreciative of your advice to seek other professional advice and avoid discomfort because you are correct exercises are not for everybody!
