If neither of these two work what can i do instead? My legs are very week, my knees aches and my handwrist are in pain.
Hlo…i feel pain at side of hips when sitting cross legged..and not able to stand up from this position…..
This was an eye opener to me. I fall during dog agility practice., Am working on reactive dynamic balance. My first reaction and that of my team mates is to get me off the ground. Now I understand that I should do a calm self check starting from the neck.
Got it.
I’m 64 and had total knee replacement on left knee. Couldn’t get on or off the floor in dignified manner. I’ve been practicing this and hey presto! I can sit on the floor and get up off the floor SO gracefully now! thank you
Thanks great video.
What is the best way or the natural way to go down the stairs without the side handles or crutches for someone with a weak leg muscles or after recovery from foot injury
Dear Doctor, how to get up from bed in the morning
the right way?
REALLY USEFUL,AS I CAN’T GET UP OFTHE FLOOR WITH NOTHING TO HOLD ONTO, SO I WILL BE PRACTISING.THANKYOU FOR DEMO X
Can u help in my after PRP knee treatment stretching nd exercise.
Thank you so much Dr. Jo for this helpful video. My 90 year old mother fell the other day and fortunately I was there. But I had the hardest time because as much as my mother tried to get up, it was very difficult. Finally, I had to call Fire Rescue. Thankfully, she was not injured. Again, thank you for this helpful video about something that many of us take for granted. I’m going to watch your video on Plantar Fasciitis of which I was recently a “victim”. I did take a few weeks for it to finally go away.
I really need to ask a question, why your dogs in all the videos are sleepy or yawning or going to sleep��������, of course kidding. they are so beautiful. Thanks for your videos and your advises.
Great video as always drjo, can you do a video on how to get out of bed properly? Thank you drjo
You’re great Dr. Jo! So useful to teach this to anyone who is in need of help. Thank you. =)
PLEASE PLEASE demonstrate how to push a dislocated shoulder back into place. I dislocated my shoulder (running a big tiller after a precious rotator cuff tear) and a neighbor called the ambulance. The ER medics said they would not touch it themselves. Said I had to go to the ER. Thirty minute + drive. I managed to shove it back into place pressing against a wall because the pain was so agonizing I could not wait that long. It is a REALLY necessary emergency procedure everyone should know.
Hi there! Thank you so much for thistt video. Can u tell us what muscles to strenghthen to be able to get up? I want to walking but i am afraid of falling
I have a condition that is similar to MS. my PT told me to get up this way and I just could not do it. The ironic thing is that one day when I was on the floor my son said switch legs. Put ur bad leg bent and push up with my good leg and it worked. I just wanted to share this just in case this doesn’t work for you.
I have been sporting the downward dog option since I had both my knees totally replaced in 2017. Guess I make the cut for being flexible, yea me!
I actually fell at work last week and landed on both my knees. Worse thing that could happen to me…. happened….. I am left bruised and swollen. Yes, I know I’m young for all this and yet it’s happened. Had to get my hardware checked and xrayed.
After my fall I didn’t want to do my downward dog at work (I work in a doctors office and bleh floors in medical anything are nasty) I opted for a chair to kinda of slither up with my arms, no knees being used. Was hoping to see something similar to that with your chair. ��
Hello Dr. Jo, sincere thanks to you for the helpful hints. They are greatly appreciated. I am still recovering from a nasty auto accident, so your helpful hints are greatly appreciated. ��
you are brilliant. Thanks for everything. I have a little pomeranian named yo-yo who looks like a little lion all the time… lol even when she doesn’t want to. Love your socks. You always have the best socks.
Here’s a great way if knees or hips bother you. While on floor… Think…”let me get my but in air” Get your but up over your feet and legs, legs bent, then you can use your feet and legs strength to pull your torso up. Easy as can be, works every time ��
What if you have a menu tare? I have problems getting up off the floor sometimes because of it?
Look forward to the video on helping others get upI moved into a 55 and over community and have had 3 neighbors knock on my door to ask to go help someone get up who had fallen and I would like to know the best way.
Lol, one of my favorite topics. You are tall and slender, watching you makes the moves very clear. For those of us who are vertically impaired and more rounded than willowy it’s just going to take a lot of practice. Even with practice, the reality is, if you have ankle, knee, hip, or wrist problems, it will be a mite painful. The techniques are good, practice helps, but, isn’t always fun.
thanks d i will try these move and let you no how vwork
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Able-bodied people do not realize just how many ways there are to be impaired. This transformed a recovery experience for me.
Another keeper from Bob and Brad. Thanks. I’m waiting for the helping video.
Being able to get up from the floor is one of the ways they assess elderly folks being able to live alone. I don’t like that but it is a fact.
Thank you, Cynthia! This video was well done. My neighbor was entranced and started practicing on my living room floor. Yay!
What’s an easy way to get down on the floor without falling and getting hurt?
Show do you suggest removing oneself from a nice warm bath in a classic bathtube? Made the end of the soothing water for arthritic pain but had to call my devoted husband to assist in getting my naked body out of that tub. Sad.
thank you very much for introducing Feldenkrais to the people.
The movements are mind-blowing!
It might be better for your back,but if you are older,or have knee issues its not easy
Dr.thanks for the video. I am.eighty plus had thigh bone fracture and am with steel rod.cannot bend my knee right side so not possible to sit cross legged. Is there any way to come to normal position.
I’m a massive stroke survivor for 5 years now still I’m working for my balance to stand up. My problem I how to move forward.its been very helpful for your video. I’m trying to do it.thank you.
.
I have titanium wires etc holding my kneecap together from when I broke it 12 years ago. So hard to get up and down. I haven’t gotten in the tub because of this and showers are dangerous because of Menieres and Vertigo. If there was a way to soak in a tub again I’d be so happy!!
Thank you, thank you, I have bad knees and always dread sitting on the floor. Getting up was painful and this move is so easy.
Try that with 3 knee replacements and no shoulder strength or the fact my knees will not even bend, all very well if you have no problems
BTW, I’m 84, and am recovering from being hit by a car and having my lemur broken (2 months in the hospital) plus surgery for a herniated disc.
Thank yall so much for this video. Been waiting a long time! Please include wgat muscles you need to strenghthen to be able to do this. Im a spondy n i want to go for walks but im afraid
What do you have for a stroke surviver???No use of left arm/hand…Very little use of left leg/foot…
Read all comments and happy that as 45 old I can do easily 1st one, so sir that means my ankle strong?
Wonderful! A graceful way to get up and down from the floor. Thank you. I just posted this to FB for my friends.
Thank you!
Spending time on the floor with my grandson.
Was having difficulty getting up.
Easy safe and elegant!!!
I can not in in and out of the tub I have a problem getting off the floor I get so dam mad one leg is short from polio but I got to try something thank you for your time
Right now I have a tear in my rotary cuff,I will try this when I can and let you know
Although the spiral looks like a great way to get up from the floor, it looks a bit odd using it to get up from a sitting position in a regular chair and would be rather embarrassing to do in public.
Brads got a case of the scoots, reminds me of my cat when she got worms…. I’m way too baked for this tonight guys…. <3
I am searching for a solution I can ben well with my knees stretched. As soon as I bend them I find it hard to impossible to bend down which in turn makes getting up very difficult. It id the front side of the upper leg that goes into blockage. Do you have any suggestions?
