Mobility is one thing, strength is another! If you haven't got the leg strength to straighten your legs and stand after tipping yourself forwards, you end up face down on the floor!
I work on hip mobility with my body in that same shape (legs in a wide squat) but because I have low back issues I do it lying in my bed or floor. Floor, of course, is more supportive, but not in everyone’s comfort zone early in recovery. I just hang out there in a squat position but on my back. Not only am I working hip mobility but also knee flexion. I focus on deep breathing and relaxing into hip flexion and abduction while also letting knees just soften into bending, if that makes sense. Sometimes I even put my feet on the wall. 🙂
Could you please show how to get up off the floor. Last year I had fallen down and lucky I didn't break any bones in my body. But I couldn't get off the floor. I tried very hard but no. I was struggling for a good 45min. Finally I phoned the paramedic and they came over and in few minutes they got me back up on my feet. I have both my knees replaced afew years back but I an on the heavy side.
How do you get up safely if difficult to get up due to ankle injury and unable to bear weight and morbidly obese but prior to ankle had no issues getting up off couch but now very hard
Very common. Try laying on your side and performing a side leg raise. Then from there progress to laying on your back. You can also try the exercise in standing with your knee bent, but that may be a bit more challenging. I will try to get some videos recorded for you.
If I tried that I would fall flat on my face. I have been doing exercises of getting up without using my arms as both shoulders are really painful. I have been using them way too long and now both are in a bad way.
Tony, do you owe two different Therapy Solutions locations? I am sending my brother in Eaton those two addresses & the phone number and your name. He won’t schedule his surgery date for a few more weeks.
Hi Gail, I am happy to help. Yes, we do have two offices. Eaton is pretty far for regular therapy but he might just want to do telehealth on video or come for an occasional visit.
Total Therapy Solution - Physical Therapy, I just saw that I typed owe when I meant to type own!!!!! I thought he would be only 20-22 miles from you? How far is it? I would sure drive 22 miles to go to you!
