@dr.cranky5: “I have trouble getting out of a chair or off the toilet.” You’ve been telling me this in the comments, and I’m listening. When getting up is difficult, you start thinking twice about where you sit. Does that chair have armrests? Is that couch too low? Will I need someone to help me? You deserve to feel confident doing these everyday things. In this video, I demonstrate the sit-to-stand movement behind that daily struggle. Watch how I bring my body forward before standing and control my return to the chair. You don’t have to cross your arms like I do. Use support if you need it, and start with a higher, sturdy seat secured against a wall. I’m a physical therapist with over 30 years of experience, and my goal is to help you build strength that matters in your everyday life. Which gives you the most trouble: a CHAIR, the COUCH, or the TOILET? Tell me below so I can address it in an upcoming video. For a structured place to start, my $37 30-Day Kitchen Challenge is linked in my bio. #physicaltherapy #healthyaging #balance #movebetter #transfers
