Whether you want to safely get down to play with your grandkids or you need to recover from an unexpected trip, the fear of getting stuck on the floor can keep you from living a full life. In this video, physios Jack and Gaz share two practical strategies to get down to and up from the floor, including a brilliant technique for those with sensitive knees who cannot kneel. Key Learning Points Why avoiding the floor completely leads to less strength and a vicious cycle of fear. Strategy 1: The Kneeling Get-Up using a sturdy chair and a cushion for joint support. How to safely transition from a kneeling position to sitting on the floor using the side sit up technique. Strategy 2: The Crawl Out method, perfect for anyone with knee replacements or severe osteoarthritis who cannot put pressure on their kneecaps. Why you should practise these movements every day to build your confidence and leg power.
