Legendary 86-Year-Old Physical Therapist Dr. Shirley Sahrmann: Key Exercises w/ Instructions 

I’m a director at a physical therapy clinic. Gonna add this to the loop of educational content I play in our lobby. Thanks!

[00:00] Start [3:22] Standing to quadruped [5:13] Facedown exercises [9:35] Faceup exercises [13:37] Shoulder exercise [16:56] Standing back to wall [18:57] Bonus: Modified quadruped [19:42] Bonus: Getting up and down from floor

for 86 she is in astoundingly good shape. I wish my 76 year old mother would work out like this woman. She would be healthier.

So good and lovely. Thank you, Tim, for truly caring for human development and thank you, Shirley, for the valuable knowledge, and the appreciation towards wellbeing for all of us!

These exercises are GOLDEN! . Some of my 20-30 yrs clients already have a hard time with their posture so were starting them early on the Dr. Sahrmann's routine 🙌🏽 Thanks!

This complements your podcast together nicely. Thank you Tim and your team.

Perfect, been looking for a video like this ever since listening to the podcast with her. Thanks!

Thank you kindly Tim for having Dr. Sahrmann on your show. She is a legend in her field and it's great that more people will now benefit from her knowledge and expertise. She's a great role model for us all. Fabulous on every level! 👏🏻🙏🏻

Life goals! Dr. Shirley is a f*cking boss! And two watches... A woman after my own heart! One Garmin is required at all times!

Thanks Shirley for showing us how the exercises are done! We all hope to be aging well like you.

Thank you for this. It’s so important.

Thank you! I took so many notes during your 2+ hour podcast. It is wonderful to see this condensed version of Dr. Sahrmann's program.

I'm obsessed with thinking about why she has two watches.

The proof is obvious that these work! She has an impressive amount of muscle and moves fluidly! Inspiring!

After listening to her clarity of communicating with you in the podcast re: your back pain, I was super-impressed that it "read" so well without watching. Of course, in this video, all is very clear too. I do wish that the "average" PT had a fraction of her skills. Many thanks!

I've become such a big fan of Dr. Shirley from a previous podcast episode you did with her, Tim - that episode was the first podcast episode I've listened to all the way!

I've been hoping for this! Thank you.

Wow! I’ve been looking for these exact exercises- so incredibly hard to find. Everyone should be doing these to avoid the hunchback syndrome-which people don’t realize impacts 40% of people as they age.

I love her! What a role model! So grateful for her generosity with sharing this great work out.

Are there books etc available for the layman or just her academic works?

Does she recommend these daily or every other day? Anyone hear her advice as to frequency?

wish to find physio like her, everyone else i met on my path was completely useless ;[

Thanks so much!!!!! So so helpful

Thank you so much, Tim. I would really love to share this video with all my elderly relatives. The problem is they do not know English well enough to understand all the necessary tips. If it was possible to add a voice over to this video, I could record one in Polish, which is my native language.

Thanks for sharing this Tim!

❤❤❤

Thank you to you and Dr. Sahrmann! This is so helpful to really understand what she was explaining in the podcast. Much appreciated!

Woah, excellent!

A lot of synergy with what Pete Egoscue has been sharing for 50 years as well. Thank you for getting this out there on the importance of being able to stand upright again!

Just tried this...brilliant stuff

LOVE this!! Thank you for posting. It addresses some gaps in my own workout that I will correct ASAP

Thank you Shirley and Tim! I loved your podcast with Shirley and need to listen to it again. Best wishes on your pursuit to fix and manage the lower back pain. Remember that you are your best advocate for your health & well being! Keep seeking the best healthcare you can afford. If only I had this mindset twenty years ago...

Inspirational; got to stop my wishful thinking and move towards actually moving!

I am a dedicated listener, not viewer. For this, I came over to watch. Thanks very much.

Good stuff! Shirley is the goat. I got to meet her at a seminar recently and she is as great in real life as she is in the profession. I couldn’t help but comment on her double watches too… 😁 This lady is the real deal, i hope to be as healthy as her at 86!

I loved this!!! Great inspiration!! Felt wonderful! Thanks

As we get older... we're looking for change. I find coins all the time.

Thank you for sharing this following the fantastic interview!!

So good 😊

Thank you.

Thanks much!

Thank you!!

Thank you Tim, this was great!

She got me on hello !!!

666th like ftw!
