Yes , Dr Bernaike U really helped me w what vits t take n foot n leg ex I have neuropathy Not crazy at all about reg drs They DO NOT HELP pathetic 😢🎉❤

That is cool that is something that I don't think about but I'm always constantly moving my feedback and forth up and down always it's just the thing that I do. But I do love all your videos and I may or may not have to get surgery but I want to be as strong as I can and I started watching your videos last week I couldn't touch my toes couldn't get up out of a chair without grabbing onto something today I touched the floor with my hands and I got above a chair not using my hands I was so excited it was running around doing a happy dance I haven't been able to do that in years thank you so much I even send these all to my doctor why spend $150 for physical therapy just watch your videos and do what you say it has really really helped me a lot thank you

Hi doctor I really enjoy your ankle strength exercise I broke my ankle 4 months ago I will be starting to strengthen my calf muscles .I hopefully can get my ankles stronger . I will do exercises the next 6 months. Thank you. 😊

Dude I have a rare bone disease my bones are deteriorating plus I have no padding between my bones and right now I have numbness in my feet I think I have poor circulation I don't know it only happens when it's high outside or the humidity is up or if I eat certain foods but when it's cold I have no problems they don't swell up and I don't understand what's going on plus I've had hip surgery and it started at 2 years 2 or 3 years after that so I don't know what's going on and foot exercises I do foot exercises

Perfect explanation, easy to understand. Very helpful. Will try it for sure, thank you for your helpful content

Chronic Ankle and knee pain has given me horrible mobility issues. I'll be devouring your content with interest. I love your gait analysis as most drs don't even consider gait as a diagnostic tool. Thank you

I feel I need to do this a few times before getting back into my regular exercises since I sprained my ankle about 4 weeks ago. I will never leave a dumbbell laying around ever again 🤦🏼‍♀️

I just stumbled into your video today. I am a stroke survivor and my right ankle have been weak since then. I have not been able to walk more than .6 miles since with out stopping so many times to rest and catch my breath. Thank you for posting this video. I will try these exercises today.

Dr. Tom, I have Correct Toes but am only able to wear them at night as they hurt to wear them in my shoes. I see you recommend a night splint that only separates the big toe. I’ve thought that might be all I need when I use these Correct Toes as you can cut them to fit your needs. Or might the splint be even better? Curious to know what you think.

I do notice after 2 weeks of doing these exercises and my feet are stronger and more flexible thank you my first PT is Monday

What if my big toes are hurting and I can't do the calf raises?

Thanks. I hope and pray that this helps. thank you

I’m going to try this. Thanks!

Hot doctor California says hello 🤤🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆💜

As an elderly, I have many old injuries and circulaton problems. I thank you for your videos 👍❤️😁

Helpful doc, thanks

Almost one year i sprain the ankle on football match. I didint do a lot of rehab. Just rest. After 3-4 months i tried back to playing the football but i still had some pain. So i decide to wait 2-3 weeks. Unluckly i sprain ankle again in work. After this 2x spain ankle i still do my job and normaly walking, and even skiiing in winter. But after 1 year now i can forgot about playing football or running. My ankle hurt and have a pain in inversion and eversion. Hitting ball is impossible. I did magnetic resonance imaging and doctor said "nothing special showed" u need physiotherapist. I make some simmilar but also others exercises but still have pain(after exer...and next day) after 2 weeks. Should I still traning and rehab like this ? PS. My bones are fine (Not broken) and ligaments also wasnt broken.

Thank you so much for your videos, Tom! I have learned so much more from you, than my own podiatrist. I have been fitted for an Arizona Brace, but now I know that I can actually strengthen the muscles in my feet and legs. Maybe I won't have to wear it long, like originally thought

Great channel!!! Any recommendations for those with what appears as an inverted heel instead of the typical excessive eversion of the heel? I believe both end up with excessive pronation and with the person I am thinking of a bunion also. I would love to see a video going over the differences/similarities and potential differences in approaches.

All I can do is try all of these, even if my low arches are still "falling," despite doing other pt exercises. Thank you!

Good coaCHes know that the back group of muSCles are the single most important half of the body. Another thing that they do is CHecking if muscles above knee and below knee are 2:1. So generally we are using the front group of muscles all the time. What we don't use is back. Meaning: from back of skull, down the back of the neck, shoulders, lower back and spine, over glutes hamstrings etc down to calf and Achilles and down portion of a foot. That back is sort of a spring. Much like red tissue inside bones. Bones are like batteries of the body. And good chiropractors know that they should be apart. All prepositions for illnesses are within bones. My anterior muscles on my left foot are silent. On the right foot that movement produces a cracking sound. I sprained my right foot. Now my right foot is a little wider, so I break the left heel part in every shoe in no time, my right foot is stiff, and stretching hurts. If I run, moving in a straight line forward is uneasy. I think that I hit my small toe more than it should be. Also the left side of my ankle and right side of my ankle hurts. Little bump on right lateral side of foot next to ankle. Bone perhaps. That ache is like two bones colliding..not exactly be described is similar to the crackling of bones through the water. Or etching the inside of the abdomen before running to the toilet. Тhe creaking of wet surfaces ..Ne-uro-pathy( Ur = light 89 mer ray ban tion sion etc ..area = surface or square.. sound circle sphere and light as square..kw kva kvar..aqua..cavity nucleation bubble..electron is bubble... CHronos and a Rea, X Panta rhei 58 etc...OurObOrOs = O-OOO magnetic light is all, 88/89 topology ).. Anyways, that line from let's say right cuboid- talus- calcaneus point upwards along fibula and mostly lateral side to hamstring.. lateral muscles and eversion( peroneus, perennial longus, fibularis... notice word play tabular tubular fibular :-)) ). So no. Your claim is not at all an exaggeration. Foot really matters. Kids should learn at least the basics. So that they can help themselves or others. Even masters of martial arts don't teach this healing section any more. You can balance on one foot at a more advanced level. Tib bar. Some karate videos present the same exerc. All the best people. Thanks!

Very good to my health. Thanks to health

Can’t wait to get started!!! I really need the help.

Thanks Dr, for suggesting this video, you have no idea how helpful your videos have been. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, so easy to understand!

I have weak ankles, as well as sore inner feet. Will orthopedic shoes correct it? My feet buckle out like in the vid on the treadmill. Thanks for the video.
