Exercises to Open Your Stroke Hand 

40 year OT here. You are killing it! Best video I’ve seen on hemi stroke recovery

Hi Nathan YOU ARE THE BEST!! I had a stroke nine years ago and NO ONE has taught me how you've taught me. I think you are awesome and heaven sent you to help us with strokes. I have always gone to my physical therapy and done my exercises and whatnot but I never could find someone who made me feel like I was getting better. I can actually say I AM GETTING BETTER!! I cannot thank you enough and I am telling everyone that you're the best physical therapist I have ever been to. God Bless You Nathan!! Carolyn

Hi, am at this stage of my stroke recovery. Thank you for the support you give. God bless

Hi, I'm from India, Kerala. Recently I saw your videos. My husband had stroke last year. Your videos are much helpful for us. Thank you so much. Plz do more stroke videos. This video is much much helpful

This is an excellent video. Your teaching style is so easy to follow and you definitely understand stroke survivors. My wife is 16 months in after a stroke, and we return to this video often and it is so helpful. We've also made links and titles to dozens of your videos and have shared them with our OT and PT providers. Thank you.

Thank you sir for that

I’m in the same situation . I suffered a massive stroke 13 years ago, and still having to cope with a clinched fist and a stiff elbow that won’t move, no matter how hard I tried. When I asked my regular doctor about undergoing more rehabilitation, their answer always go out of the back window or the back door and having private insurance, HMO will barely pay for the necessities. I wished that you were my therapist and that you could help me. Also, my last question is, do you have any features for a person that suffers from the footdrop syndrome because I still walk with a severe debilitating foot drop? Thank you so much and I am a new subscriber. And by the way, I also have congestive heart failure, and you have featured video to help me and enhance my quality of life! You’re truly a gem, and a life saver!☺️🥰

Thank your videos I just started watching may 20th and it has been so helpful. You are truly heaven sent. Thank. You are helping me to learn to relax my muscles. Thank you.

With kind regards sir.... For me nine years over .. due to head operation this happens sir .. .

Thank you sir.apply ko ito sa friend ko stroke kabilang braso gang kamay po.

I had a hemorrhagic stroke 10 months ago in my right arm, hand and foot. After watching your channel, I can walk again. I just use a cane or walker for outside. My right arm has also improved. However, I can only move my right arm up and down, and when I move my right arm, its always in a fist, which means my brain and muscles are miscommnicating. I don't have that range of motion. I'm gonna get botox, and do the arm exercises afterwards since it's my right arm giving me most trouble. Akin.

Maraming salamat gagayahin ok

Sir my right hand fingers are curled up . The bones on knuckle are stiff so my fingers don't open. Can you help. This happened after my pelvis surgery. I have become weak. Thanks for your demonstration.

My thumb closes back up as soon as I release it……will not stay extended like yours does.

Please told me ho to get rid off body sensation after body stroke?

Yuo are the best🎉🎉🎉❤❤
