Title: It Worked!
Post by: 28Lisa on September 08, 2008, 05:46:42 pm

Thanks to whomever suggested sticking your thumbs up, streching your hand out and concentrating on your thumb only while you walk.  I tried this for the very first time and I didnt use a walker nor did I hold onto the walls.  Im so stoked....

Wowies  :)

Thanks again...

You know its ironic because I was in a rehab for 4 months receiving physical therapy and not once did they sugges that idea?

Great news, Lisa  ;D

I don't know who suggested this, but I'm glad to hear it worked for you.

I see you've posted a picture  :)  I always like putting a face with a name.

Thanks,

Jan

Maybe it was me you are talking about?  I wrote about the "staring at your thumb" exercises I performed, but only standing with feet in different positions on hard and soft surfaces, never used this technique while walking.  But, very happy this is helping you!
