Not medical advice and totally understand if nprofile1qqs9phjf9nl9guj9phc6q9m0makezh5hedwelrf7enhh6f0lp2y8rhshceh47 (nprofile…eh47) is following a specific physical therapy treatment plan prescribed by his DPT/physio/primary healthcare specialist:
The videos below are my favorite go-to rehabilitative exercises that can help strengthen the lower extremity (particularly the glutes and legs) and improve balance with emphasis in developing confidence to handle oneself without use of assistive devices (crutches/cane).
This way he can slowly minimize support of the chair or countertop over time as he becomes more confident in his strength & balance.
Sooner or later, y’all can introduce therabands, ankle weights, or MonkeyFeet to the same video exercises mentioned or target more specific muscles (quads, hamstrings, glutes, etc) to help reduce some of that wobbliness and improve general walking.
If you made it this far, thank y’all for staying at my DPT-related Ted Talk.
Godspeedy recovery, Puzzl 🤙🏼
