Thank you so much for these exercises. I have osteoarthritis, osteoporosis and spondylitis of the neck, low back, right knee and left foot. After starting with 3, then 5 repetitions, my mornings are no longer painful. Now, I have more range of movement and more energy too. I hope this will be encouraging for other people too 🙂

Good day Dr. Andrea Furlan. I want to thank you for the exercises you recommended.

Recently, Oct 2021, had RTKN replacement. Now in 2022 started developing pains on right hip and the other good knee. These pains happen in the morning when waking up. But after a few steps they fade away. The exercises done in the morning, whilest in bed helped.

Question. In the morning when I wake, in time for the exercises, there is a need to rush to the toilet. So I decided to do a few about 3 of these exercise before rushing to the toilet. The do the others later after relieving myself. Is this OK?
