There was a time prior to Rock Steady Boxing that I couldn’t either.

I recommend this:

However, for the long term I recommend Rock Steady Boxing. (Read my story.)

I have the same problem getting out of bed and getting up from a chair.

I. Used that bar u r talking about & it works!!!

Another suggestion, talk to the doctor, there are items they can help your friend get that May help. My dad eventually had to get a walker to use to stand up. Then at some point a hospital type bed. Very useful.

i use this one i love it
