A true pleasure to watch you two guys compliment each other so well. I’ve been watching all your videos, which has given me a lot of inspiration being a PT myself. Thanks a lot and hope to see you continue the great job you are doing!
Ive been dealing with this awkward pain for 8 weeks. doing weird Open book and QL stretches and turns out your rotational stretch has me completely relieved. Im going to do it at least twice a day! sooooooooo helpful!!!!
I appreciate what you’re doing for people. I hurt my mid-back shoveling snow a few weeks ago. Stooping over, especially if twisting at the same time, caused a lot of sharp discomfort (ie. getting in and out of my car or even pushing up from a chair). I found you gentlemen, watched a few of your videos, listened to how you explained the treatments and gave it a try. I used the “sitting-up-straight rotation movement” and I could tell quickly that something beneficial was happening. Today, I did the rotation a couple for of sets left & right, once more finding results. This is really working for me. I’ll be careful with my back, so it has time to heal, plus, I will continue this rotation therapy until it does heal. Then I’ll get back into moderate exercise and strength training. Thanks to you both.
Thank you so much! I did the first two exercises about an hour ago and I can’t believe what a difference it has made! The second exercise I can do at work throughout the day. Thank you!
You guys are a God sent ; you explain and demonstrate where and what the pain is , symptoms and probable causes. You helped me a lot with my upper back muscle spasms with your simple exercices Thank you very much !
I’ve had pain in one spot of my upper spine since I was 16. The rotations to the opposite side actually provided relief. My previous chiropractor didn’t mention any home exercises, but I’ve tried foam rolling every possible way. I feel like I can breathe more deeply, and like I’m an inch taller after trying these rotations.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I had thoracic pain so bad i had to miss class this morning. Thanks for the immediate relief Bob and Brad!
I was having intense pain on thoracic spine area for a week. Found Bob & Brad physical therapists on YouTube yesterday followed recommended stretches about 3 times. This morning I am almost back to normal from using the medium slightly deflated ball stretches. Thank you guys. It is such a pleasure to find a homeopathic solution to back pain!
I just bought a foam roller. Did it end up helping you alot? Thanks. Hope your back feels better.
You guys have drastically improved pain that I thought might never go away. Thank you so much!
Sorry about that Tina 😉
Reticular pain is dead on to what I have. The wrap around and slight pain breathing is spot on. Thanks for helping Bob & Brad.
1 month later… can we get an update?
I never gave these guys a chance until I tried the first exercise they suggested in this video. Absolute victory and will go to again if I encounter any such minor/possible self treating issue again. 10/10
They’ve been on for years and yet they bring the same vigor and personality to every single video. I can literally watch for hours.
Yeah. I really need to know which exercises did you try.
I have the same issue now. What was you’re diagnosis? I’ve seen a muskoskeleatal specialist but doesn’t help. Has the pain decreased with foam Rolling? Thanks
Here here!
I woke up, attempted an early morning stretch and tore my thoracic. I know because I tore it several years ago. Same exact agony. I searched YT and this channel came up first. THANK YOU! First exercise helped. I went from level 10 to level 6 pain. SUBSCRIBED! 11-20-2020
Any update?
Thanks guys for the push up exercise for the mid back. I’ve been exercising your demonstration for a couple of days now and I feel so much better. Thanks from Anthony , South Wales , U.k.
Keep the Great videos coming👍
You must have allot of pain 😅
Hi Bob and Brad. Thank you so much for these exercises .They are very helpful for my pain. Best wishes to you both.
Funny how people are all different. No disrespect to anyone intended, but I find that vigor and personality you describe to be absolutely irritating, distracting and obnoxious, particularly in respect to there being two of them. Who knows? Maybe what they are saying and demonstrating is the best advice ever. But I’ll never know.
Everytime anyone in my family gets muscle pains or spasms, the first thing I do is say, “Hold on, let me find you a Brad and Bob episode”. You guys are constantly fixing us up. I’ve gotten quite an education from you two. A thumbs up just doesn’t seem like a sufficient thank you.
Finally!!! You’ve now helped me work out what’s wrong with my thoracic 🙏🏽 thank you! I purchased your massage gun for Christmas. Brilliant on knots and crps cramps. Seems to scramble the pain.
Hi guys. Love your videos, this one is really helping me. I was searching for some new ideas to treat my herniated T8-9 disc because nothing is working and this is the only thing that seems to help. I’ve been doing the ball stretch but haven’t tried the rotation yet. Thanks for posting these videos.
Damn, the chair trick made my day. From all the things i’ve tried, that exercise is the only thing that made me feel a sharp pain in the right spot. After i did the exercise for 2nd time, the pain was gone and my upper back feels like a did a whole fitness workout. Thank you.
The twisting one?
Just finished the first exercise, instant relief.
Bob & Bard just made my Christmas list.
