Hi I realize I do not know your name , however I keep trying these exercises each day and find I am able to stand on my left leg longer than my right , although not quite for the two minutes. I’m not giving up . Remember I’m 90+ years of age , that doesn’t mean I can’t learn. Thank you. LK. from Canada. ❤😊

It’s normal, I think, to find it easier to balance on one leg than the other (as I found when doing Novice ballet)..

❤😅🎉
I LOVE THE DRAMATISATION OF EACH EXERCISE. IT IS SO PRACTICE-FRIENDLY. IT IS NOT OVERWHELMING. NOR DOES IT SEEM CHALLENGING! U MAKE IT SEEM SIMPLY EASY!
THANK YOU.
I think I’m a little better , I can stay balanced on my right leg the longest,but not for 20 seconds yet . I will keep trying though, and don’t forget I’m 90+ years of age. LK from Canada. Thanks. 😅
Thank you so much! I just found your channel and I love it!😊
Very helpful in gaining confidence after recovering from a bimalleolar fracture to my ankle after slipping over on a wet muddy path one dark might. Many thanks all positive.❤
I saved your video and was excited to show it to my physical therapist. I am 60 and have OA both hips bone on bone with painful advanced muscle atrophy. I am always in pain, the hip ball grinds in the socket and I eat Tylenol and Aleve every day. She said your video was great and she was happy about my interest in doing things to help myself, but that they were not tailored to my condition, could hurt more than help and not to do them. I was disappointed to hear that. I am going to keep the video for future as I get older with balance issues. Thank you
Excellent, sensitive presentation. So helpful!
I believe I have Improved a tinny bit, I have trouble standing on my right leg very long,I will keep trying though ,don’t forget , I’m 90+ years of age with scoliosis so don’t rush me ‘….I’m planning on going dancing At some point ,any dancing,waltz, boogie woogie,whatever. Are my expectations too high? LK from Canada. 😅😅
I am age 83 and believe me, I've had more than my share of physical therapy. You have made this so clear and doable. You got me in a previous video when you mentioned shopping carts...you really got my attention. Im getting a walker and going to my sidewalk quickly. Thank you, so helpful.

What a delight. I have drop foot and neuropathy and this is just what I need. Bless you.
THIS IS SO HELPFUL, I'VE BEEN DOING THE EXERCISE FOR MY BALANCE,BUT MY KNEE'S ARE MY PROBLEM,I FEEL ON BOTH AT THE SAME TIME AND HAD TO CATCH MYSELF ON BOTH MY HANDS HURTING MY SHOULDER'S ,BUT MY KNEE'S TOOK MOST OF THE DAMAGE.
Thank you I still have more problem standing on my right leg than my left, neither are great, but I will certainly keep going. The other parts are easier, but not great. LK from Canada. Also I am 90+ years of age ,but determined to be able to walk reasonably well no matter my age. 😊
I feel I have made a degree of improvement, I have a long way to go yet. I really appreciate this advice and will continue as long as necessary to get to where I want to be I plan to be able to do boogie woogie at some point in time Don’t forget I’m 90+ years of age I don’t give up easily. Thanks for this video. Much appreciated. L K from Canada. ❤❤😊
Excellent program - so useful that there are three levels! Thank you!👏
Hello from L in Canada. I am still working on these exercises, with some improvements, I’m not stopping,as my balance is poor. I’m 90+ years of age so I have a lot of correcting to do.Plus I have scoliosis. I’m pleased to have found this video. Thank you 😊
God bless you Lucille!!! If you can do it, I know I will be able to do it too and I'm 60 with OA of both hips bone on bone. I need muscle strengthening exercises before possibly looking at hip replacement(s). You are an inspiration!🤗
Very good I will try thank you
You are inspiring! Good for you.
Love you Lucile
🌹🤔 So how long you want to continue on this planet, not leaving the space for young generation? 🌹☹️🤭😭
Excellent exercises created by someone in tune with an older person's challenges !
You've just given my wife a perfect excuse why I should take on dishwashing duties, thanks a lot brother!
Haha! Oh boy!
Thank you ,my friend! I ahave just recently experienced severely disabling cancer symptoms and really need to work on my balancing skills. I hope it can help with some of the left side pain as well.
Thank you!!!
Will this help with my vertigo??
Someone has to do it
What are the mats on the floor about? Could be a trip factor
Just starting this new exercise, working well, thanking you so much…
Brilliant! I think the last exercise is useful for everyone not just the elderly. Thank you!
I’m going to try this as I am always falling, at 90 I thought I was going to keep going over but I’m going to win.
These are life-changing videos, worth their weight in gold. Superb. Thank you.❤
These are the exercises I need for my balance rehabilitation , very helpful videos , thank you
Thanks
Excited to try these. Thank you!
Thanks so much. I will start doing these exercises.
Thank you for these exercises, your presentation is excellent.
Glad you like them!
My appreciation and thanks for your video on balance exercises!! God bless you.
Thank you so much, God bless you for your video
These are excellent exercises, more difficult than I anticipated. I do suggest that it is important to be upright and not leaning forward as sometimes shown. My PT had harped at me of the importance of not walking or doing exercises leaning forward. That stance is less balanced and encourages shuffling. It helps to engage core muscles, and when standing, imagine pushing upwards through your head.
He has a video which addresses how to stop leaning forward when walking : 7 months ago, 3 :18 minutes. SUCH a BRILLIANT PHYSIO ; as a retired rehab nurse of 84 , I don't look at or practice any other .👏👏👏
Excellent workout! I’ll try it. Thanks
I find these to be excellent daily exercises for cervical myelopathy. As you say shifting weight on one side when standing on one foot is quite a challenge and helps with my balance. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this, and for actually doing the exercises with the timing shown. It lets me treat it like a class so I don’t have to think about the two minutes.
Everything You Say, Is So So True! Your Videos, Are So Valuable, “The Best I Have Come Across” Thank You So Much! MarJie Brisbane Australia.
Thank you so much for this. Fantastic program.
Thank you for the precise directions and demonstrations. I have saved this video to do often.
So clear and articulate! Thank you.
This video is a gift. Thank you. (I don’t like to close my eyes and won’t.)
Thank you for describing each exercise so clearly that everyone can follow along with your videos. 22:45
❤
These excersises are great. Im 71 and I have noticed my balance is getting worse. Thank you so much.
Thank you Sir very helpful,
Thank you for the wonderful tips
Best ever instructions for each exercise!
Thank you ... for all your functional informational videos...
Thanks ALOT. I will try this.
My PT has me do the #4 and #10 leg stand with my eyes closed. Doing what you suggest seems more practical.
I am 71 years old. This last February I had a stroke. I woke up with my right side from my foot to my head numb and tingly. I am having a hard time walking. My right foot might as well not even be attached. And it hurts. The thing that makes me the maddest is I had gotten a new car last June and I can't drive it. Do you have any suggestions?
Great show as always thank you very much 😊
Awesome and helpful content!!! Just what I need!!! 😁👍❤️👏👏👏
Thank you!
I’m still doing this exercise, with some improvement, I have scoliosis which pushes me to the left-leaning., so I expect I may take a long time to be able to balance on one leg I will not stop,but I am 90+years of age . I wish to be able to do many things I’ve always done, to the best of my ability. Thank you so much. ❤😊. LK from Canada 22:47 22:47
I just came across your video's , how do you watch level 1 or 2?
Thank U so much U truly do understand we, who haver serious bal problems
Thanks for that!
i am enjoying your exercises they are very helpful i hadn't realized how much balance i had lost.... i fell in italy and broke two humorous bones and a femur i am still doing pt and now these at home... thank you so much
This is really helpful. Thank you.
This is a sensational video. I'm not tech savvy and don't know how to contact you directly. I'm 89 but am in excellent health except my body parts have worn out. Lots of sports and exercised regularly. I just had a knee replacement and the other knee needs replacement. I think my balance issue is due to neuropathy for which they have no cure (I am not diabetic). My biggest balance issue is "elevation change". I don't have the courage of stepping up or down from the street to the sidewalk and vice versa when I have nothing to hold. I use a cane but afraid I will fall taking just a small step of a few inches.
Thanks. There also also foot lifts I do.
Loving this video. Thank you so much.❤️
So glad!
Thank you fantastic
Thank you very much for making this video. I am working with a trainer at the gym two days a week. She is having me do many of these exercises. She also said I should be doing these exercises at home. I am able to do all of the level 1 and 2 exercised. Do you recommend that I only do level 3 each day, or should I also do level 1 and 2 each day? It is great to have the video to insure that I am doing the exercises correctly. Thanks again!!
Excellent workout
Super advice ,thanks
Hi I’m so glad I’ve found your channel! Big thank you 🙏 a nasty fall had me feeling very unbalanced recently, but I’m feeling improved slightly each day by doing these exercises. You’re so easy to follow. Thank you 🙏

Thanks and welcome
I have Parkinsons & recently had DBS surgery. I know my gait is off & I feel like I am retraining y brain to walk! Your videos are so helpful!
Dr. Weiss❤ I admire your patient and effort helping people to better health ❤ Thank You so much
thanks
I am not happy with the use of cushions on the chair, quite easy for their frail hands to slide off as they push down toppling over sideways or the cushions slide off the chair . May I suggest using an adjustable bath chair, bath stool or even their walker? Love watching your videos and learning even after 45years of nursing, thankyou for making them.
Theank u these excerises are great
Thank you very much from Patagonia Argentina!!!
You are welcome!
Thanks for all. Seems important that looking down as he is adds to problem . Leaning forward towards the ground tilts you toward down Thoughts? one stand head chest lid
Thank you
Great program great teacher thanks. I have Corticobasal degeneration will those excercises slow down the degeneration?
The exercises are great! Actually I found that my balance isn’t as bad as I thought it was! With the sit to stand, as a next step to pushing up with your hands on the chair, I stand with my arms outstretched, rather than folded in front of me. That’s a little easier, and hopefully I’ll soon be able to fold the arms and stand.
Is there a PDF chart that I an download?
sorry, no
Thanks.
Thank you so much
Thanks!!! 5:30pm

Very helpful😊👍
GREAT COMMENTS! ENCOURAGING!
Excellent great video
Great video
I like your video it will help me to walk without using my cane, God bless thank you for sharing
Glad it was helpful!
Had a stroke a few years ago. Now at 76 I’m still in recovery. Work every day in our large yard. Take my aggressive dog for a tough walk. Squat and do anything that is tough to do. If it is easy to do I make it hard. Everything Hurts but what the hell. I expect to live over a hundred. Find a way to make everything harder no easier.
Dealing with a genuflects values right knee which takes LOTS of 'work' all day to focus and keep hip/quads strong. Adding these to my list :-). I worked in PT in the 80's-90's and do know the value of these but dealing with the knee pain sure is an emotional battle. TY for putting these out for EVERYone to choose to watch or DO!!
thanks
Great Video. Many thanks. But have a question. You talk about different difficulty levels but I don't see an indication of which of the ten exercises belong in which level. Thanks again.
This is great and I'd love to see a handout (hard copy) that I could share with my elderly parent. She has no internet and would love to leave her something in writing to follow. Is this available?
I want to add this my daily routine
Superb sir
thank you
This is so good such practial ways of getting back on our feet with just good prepared thoughts of what you have shared here.I will share this with friends and family. Now im doing better now weather is better to get out for some movement to stay limber and strong. Bless you!!
It’s so useful,I have a poor imbalance
Great balance exercises. thank you.
Soooo glad I found this, just what I need t do& yes I am doing them.U have them very easy to follow them. How is that.
thanks
First time watching. Very good video
How do I locate your beginning exercises. I’m can do some of the level 3 kitchen sink exercises but need to start from level 1 and level 2. Ur balance exercises r so helpful Thanks
I will try that
22:47 I want to subscribe but the link keeps disappearing. Excellent descriptions/visuals! Just what I needed!
Great except one very important detail: do not look downward but strictly horizontally so that every movement will be applied and going on from your center of gravity and not more or less above it that obviously break the balance.....
Thank you so much for this information and instruction. I have had several bad falls in recent years. It makes you feel so helpless and it happens without warning. Suddenly you feel yourself falling and defenseless to break the fall.
My question: Is it better to use a hard chair like in the video and avoid sofa, easy chairs,etc. Thank you
any chair is fine. Just make sure the height of the seat allows you to stand up without too much difficulty. Use as many pillows as you need.
I like to do chair exercises.
