what's perceived as boring is truly a reserved and calm nature bc they're teaching you something they already know, and also trying to help you relax. I know you used that word more for comedic effect and I'm not mad lol but just wanted to take the opportunity to point out the great qualities people they have that are often perceived as "boring".
physicaltherapyvideo Hi I have bad knots and cracking in my shoulder and now for a month I have spasms happening in my left shoulder that won't stop. It's very annoying and even interrupts my sleep. Can you tell my why this is happening and what it could mean? I will be doing these exercises. Thank yall very much!
Jesus4 President Shoulder 'popping' is quite natural. I'm not sure about the spasms, though. Love these pilates/yin yoga tutorials. Well done, lads. I needed this. Great vibes. Love & light :)
The second shrug exercise, I literally did it and my neck clicked I felt 5 years younger let out a breath and cry laughed for a few minutes, you've literally changed my life. I've been struggling with back neck and shoulder tension for years and that one just.. oh my god all the right spots instantly. I'm shaking thank you I can't say it enough
I have been suffering from migraines for over 25 years. I had one today and found your video, and did the first two exercises. I always have a knot right behind my left shoulder blade. I've never been able to get rid of it...and that is the spot where all of my migraines start from and then they migrate up the back to the neck. The second exercise especially made a HUGE difference (hitting that knot behind the shoulder blade) and within minutes, my migraine went away. Goodbye ibuprofen....hello miracle stretch!! Thanks so much!!
Wow!! That's good to hear. Thanks for sharing that info. My shoulders are so knotted up and for the past few days I've been having pains in my head...migraine like, so I must give this a try. I pray it works for me too. Tfs.
@Yay Mee My knots do come back on occasion.... probably due to my bad posture.....but when they do and I get a migraine, I just do the stretches again and can feel a huge difference. I still have other knots in my neck and upper back area so sometimes I still use ibuprofen, but not nearly as much as I used to and I also use doTERRA Deep Blue rub (cream) to help with pain in other areas of the neck and upper back that lead to headaches.
@Yay Mee That's good to know. Thank you. I take vitamin D3 drops and I use nutritional yeast (which is loaded with all the B vitamins) to help season a lot of my soups and stews. But I will definitely be looking at CoQ-10 and magnesium to find some good brands. 😊
Thank goodness fir these guys and you for sharing Delia! I have a similar issue (sometimes headaches and sometimes migraines) from all the tension on my shoulder blades. Im gonna have to try this!
physicaltherapyvideo Good afternoon, I just found your page and I love it. My problem is, the knots in my neck causes my arms and fingers to tingle and go numb. I have been tested to see if anything serious was going on, just mild carpal tunnel. One of my colleagues stuck her elbow in my back and got rid of the knots that were causing the tingling which lasted for over a year. Do you have any exercises that I could use to get these knots out of my back and stop the tingling that has returned ? Thank you.
I've had so much relief of muscle knots all over my back. Thanks to you two and the suggestion of the ball in the sock on the wall. I felt like I had a professional massage. But for as long as I wanted and paid no money. It was heavenly. THANK YOU GUYS!!!!!
I watched this video a couple of years ago and the shrug & shoulder squeeze helped me SO much, even told my Mum about it and she was amazed. Spent the last half an hour searching for it again since I couldn't remember exactly how to do it and I finally found it! Goodbye neck pain! :D
I have had a tight pain under my left shoulder blade literally for 2 years after picking up a heavy boxes during a move. It always felt like it needed to crack and just wouldn't. Turn out it was actually a bad knot. I tried the first stretch (did about 10 reps, not too much) and the one at the 7:14 mark then followed by a downward dog stretch and felt the knot release. It was such a weird sensation! Now, for the first time I DO NOT HAVE THAT SEARING, NAGGING PAIN. I can think straight again. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I cant wait to try the others. You guys are great and love the sense of humor!
Oh my gosh me too with the nagging pain under left shoulder blade kinda lower so it is just out of reach to rub - and trips my mind because i cant stretch it out and it doesn't "give"...years of this and my back will spasm so bad...my dr. wittnessed this spasm...wanted to inject steroid between the muscle ridge right there in office and charge me hundreds of dollars...i declined and it flares up and then subsides but doesn't really ever leave me - i appreciate your comments and am excited i found this site - i will be doing these strengthening excercises and stretches - seems so logical now that i realize it is deep knots and tendonitis sets in - but the poor habits i.e., looking down and not sitting correctly etc, i am actually beating my own self up with poor posture ...ugh and yay at the same time LOL - i am going to stop the madness 😌😅 thank you and God speed with your healing. 🙏😊
Same only it was right shoulder blade and the facing the wall exercise. Can't believe this one RU-vid video fixed the problem that no doctor had been able to help!
Oh my word the up,back, head back, ear to shoulder is the best. I've had knots on my neck for a while and I get migraines today is the 1st time I got any type of relief. Thank you so much!
Dr Pellypo SAME! Been to 2 physiatrists, 4 physical therapists, an osteopath, a chiropractor, no relief!!!! Then I tried some of the stuff in their videos and immediately noticed a positive change!
I just want you guys to know that I was suffering this morning with my back and shoulders and I did the 60 seconds with you all and it really works thank you so much. I didn't know how I was going to even get around this morning. I discovered you guys by accident about 2 days ago and have been hooked ever since. Never going to stop watching you guys. Thank you again
Hendrik Hardeman their always haas too bee one. And I were so engining the cometts 🤣. You guys are great!! Really!! Should I have put an apostrophe in the word guys? 🤙🏻Rock On!
physicaltherapyvideo hey Bob and Brad, I'll try and keep this as short as possible. This video was in my recommended videos and was my first video of yours to watch. Imagine my luck! I have TOS that went undiagnosed for too long and a few other problems from a sandwich car accident 10 years ago. I have had a top right rib resection but complications from that surgery nearly took my life so I'm waiting until I absolutely have to have the left rib removed before going through that again. My previous pain management doctor was highly overmedicating me with powerful prescriptions and is now in federal custody linked with at least seven overdose deaths. (A little unnecessary information but interesting nonetheless) My new pain management doctor has recommended physical therapy but I am on a limited income. I have many trigger points and this new pain management doctor doesn't use numbing medicine with these 25+ tp injections which leave me even more debilitated for several days. I was wondering how many reps of each exercise do you recommend. I know the video is titled "60 second" but I was practicing along with the video and a recommended number of reps for a beginner would be very helpful. Of course, I know incremental increases over time are necessary. I do appreciate that you pointed out, if it hurts, don't do it because the one shoulder neck turn exercise with my right shoulder did not put a smile on my face. Also, can any of the suggested devices be replicated with materials at home? I.e. a towel wrapped in duct tape as a "foam roller"? I will definitely purchase one of purple things! It's 4am and I don't remember what it's called haha. I very much thank you for your time in reading this and look forward to watching future videos!
Rebecca Moore There are foam tubes known as swimming 'noodles' at discount or dollar stores (possibly toy stores?) that I believe would serve you well. Besides, duct tape is not cheap $$ As for reps, a general rule of thumb is to start with very few (2 or 3) and your body will let you know when you can do more. Just pick same time frame(s) daily so your body/mind will come to expect it once the routine is established.
the shoulder squeeze and the sock just got out a kink in my shoulder that’s been keeping my chest tight and i just took my first deep breath in days thank u so much
I felt instant relief in the first five minutes. Every exercise helped. My favorite is the wall Angels. They are super effective. You guys are awesome. I look forward to future videos!
I know this is a couple years old, but I've had stress and now sinus pressure causing knots in my shoulders. That first exercise was an immediate help. Thank you so much!
I have no clue how I found you guys but you guys are hilarious! First I wondered if it was a joke.... then I recognized most stretches. the "one shoulder up, back, neck back and look away" is new and good! The way you guys interact is so nerdy but also funny. keep the business clothes and ties- they are part of the quirkiness! stay true to who you are even if you get a tv show! If it is too over the top it will come across fakey. You guys have good info and good hearts. Laughter is good for the soul!! I'm subscribing!
You are my go-to guys for help with all my various body aches & pains! I feel like I've just come from the chiropractor after watching your videos. You're knowledgeable, trustworthy, & totally have my kind of sense of humor (I hope I didn't just insult you 😉).
THANK YOU! Gosh, almost 6 years of having pregnancy, breastfeeding and carrying babies on my hip and my back is killing me. These exercises are so simple and feel so good!
You've changed my freaking life. I just did the first half of those exercises at my desk here and by the end of the video my neck and shoulders feel amazing compared to what they did 6 minutes ago.
OMG, I tried some of these and I could really feel them working! My shoulders, neck, and upper back are super full of knots! I even got some cracking action it of the first few! You got yourselves a new subscriber!
So, I have pretty bad neck, shoulder and upper back pain. This week is was pretty intense at work, and I came home today falling apart. I was going through RU-vid and came across this video. I went through and got to the third stretch at 3:05 - I couldn’t get any relief, or feel much of anything. I asked my boyfriend to pull on the towel for me while I hung my head back. My neck popped more times than thought humanly possible. I was sitting on the floor while he did it, and nearly lifted my entire body off the floor by my neck with that towel lol. I swear I had INSTANT results. The pain in my neck was less than I have felt in years. I cannot believe how much it helped 😭😭 I know it’s not EXACTLY how you advised to do it, and in hindsight maybe not the smartest thing to do, but I’m just so glad I found your video. Thank you 🥹 and sorry for this long comment 🫣
Bless you both I'm a nurse and I have a pretty nice side knot on my left shoulder from work and stress due to the current state of the world, so thanks a million!!!💕
I am an old dude and I needed some smart old dude stuff for my neck pain. This is my 2nd video and day 1 is looking much better than yesterday! Thanks Bob & Brad.
I couldn't get out of bed today because of the intense pain that has stretched into my right arm from muscles knots in my back. This was the first video recommended, and I did the exercises in bed and felt instant releif... magical. The knot is still there, however the pain has decreased greatly and is only on the spot, not my whole back or arm and I am moving now.. I can walk and talk! Will continue with the stretches till the pain is gone. Thank you!
You guys are awesome. I have been having upper back post workout stiffness/knots over a couple of weeks now. But feel so good on day 0 itself. Thank you 🙏
I had a masseuse tell me I had a brick there. She said it would take 3 visits a day, for 5 months to take care of it. I did just one of the second maneuver and I felt it big time. Glad I stumbled on your show.👍🏻
Bob & Brad,, I tried the lifting of the shoulder & back, tilt head back and away.. that worked in an instant guys , maybe I can sleep without waking up during night with bad arm pain..I am praying. Bring more videos, these are helping...
The exercises at the beginning were my favourites . The one with like 5 or 6 steps was awesome . It made me crack my neck and it released a ton of tension . I like that you 2 are show so much personality in your videos as well . You both really are great people for making these videos and helping so many people . Liked and subscribed , thanks for the help .
good video and description. It's so important for people to stretch and foam roll. It's very easy to forget that our bodies, slowly over time and also depending on what job we have are put through a lot and need to be taken care of. Then on top of that if we work out we put it through more stress. Stretching and foam rolling are highly needed especially the older we get.
I'm glad that they do refer to 'trigger points.' So many PTs nowadays have posted blogs and videos claiming that there are no such thing as trigger points. But anyone who's ever experienced trigger points in their own muscles knows that they're wrong.
I had a terrible and painful upper back sprain this morning from reaching over in bed to my side table. I immediately search RU-vid for any sort of advice on what to do for upper back sprain and came across you guys. I did every stretch , excluding the last one. I do not have the s shaped equipment. I felt a lot better afterwards. Thank you guys. I like your demonstration style and good fun too.😊
Thankyou so much guys for helping me relax free of cost and on my own. Last year i tried your plantar fasciatis exercises for feet. I loved them. And i recovered within few days. Without exercise of feet i wasn't able to recover
These two are the BEST on the internet - in my opinion. :^) Lovely, unassuming, brilliant and so learned and helpful. Thank you so much for your helpful, healing advise!
I just celebrated my 33rd birthday this week, and I thought I was getting old because my back muscles were agonizingly tight. The first two stretches released the knots and strained muscles in my back within less than 2 minutes. I've been suffering for days, and now the pain is almost completely gone! Thank you so much! I also love your humor!
Wow I wish I would’ve found this page years ago. I’ve had pain in my upper shoulders and back for days. After this video the pain is gone. Thanks guys!
Just found this Channel. I love this. It's like walking in on your Mum and Dad's friends or Family members getting more drunk and discussing life...then they ask you about work or School,then want to help you with your problems and teach you (demonstrate) how to be a better person for Success... You know they're right but.. oh ok...lol
Going thru PT for this exact issue. 3 cervical neck fusions C4-C7. Total of 2 plates, 26 bolts in and out of my neck with a Coalition Device still installed. Been 11+ years of misery and so glad I found this channel. Any help or advice you can provide is greatly appreciated. The last 11+ years have been horrible. Lost a marriage, a career and my ability to play golf because of the multiple surgeries of my cervical spine. Went to Duke University Medical Center and was told they wouldn't touch me unless I was in jeopardy of being paralyzed.... Thanks for your channel and hope I can get some relief using your techniques!!!! God Bless you!!!!!
Thank you so much i have been dealing with right upper back muscle pain for years due to mattress quality, stress, sitting for long hours and now that I learned the ball in the sock technique its a life saver to me 😭❤️
Having watched it through I've decided to try some of the others & I have subscribed. I'm sorry if I judged you guys too quickly, I agree with someone else's comment that you are providing us with info which would be expensive to buy & I will add that some of us just wouldn't get the chance to learn this any other way, so thanks to you two💐🕊
Stacia B ditto! I love the idea of putting the ball in a sock (seems obvious now, haha, but I didn't think of it!) since that way I can reach the spot I want to reach without trying to position the ball (and annoying my super stretchy shoulders, lol, which is where I get a lot of the knots from in the first place... Shoulders dislocate, so that seems to make the muscles play tug-of-war with my neck muscles, and silly muscles never believe me that no one wins that game, hahaha... So I'm looking forward to trying the ball in sock idea (hopefully I can keep it away from the dog, haha, he's a goof ;)) (also, I know plenty of EDS people have issues from neck instability, etc, so I'm not a doctor or anything, just be careful with the stretch that they do putting their head all the way back - I did that stretch for many years and shouldn't have!) Hope you have a happy day with as little pain as possible! :) *Zebra hugs*
I was crying from the pain in my shoulders/traps a few moments ago…I feel sooo much better, these really helped! I know this video is old but thank you guys sooo much! What a relief! I can’t thank u enough! Thank u, thank you, THANK YOOUUU!!!
This is great ! - I have the worst pain in my shoulder and now shoulders for months... after doing the excercises for the first time I can definatly feel some relief - I don't have the foam rollers for the last excercises but i'm definatly going to pick them up asap !! gonna follow the channel also. The first two excercises and the wall ones are great !!!!!
You guys are hilarious! I also think you should talk about diet as a course of prevention for physical illness or injury. You guys are in really good shape and I'm curious what your diets look like.
Modern technology is used for marketing purposes, if you have smart devices with microphones, marketing companies can use information gathered from your smart devices to point you in the direction of media like this. I have noticed this more frequently, I will be speaking aloud about an interest in a product to a friend (even texting them about it) and soon my google and Facebook ads are showing me that product.
That second exercise is money. Why wouldn't any of the Physical Therapist I've been to show me this exercise. I can buy believe the relief I got from it in a matter of 5 minutes. I'm paying good money for PT and have got more relieve from 1 RU-vid video you two have made. Thanks so much. You are heros in my opinion!!!!! God Bless you!!! Have a Merry Christmas!!!
It’s 2019 and this helped a lot! Thanks guys, really good vibes and advice coming from both, doing these exercises and watching ya, it’s very fun and therapeutic, 😊.
The stretch with elbows against the wall just made my middle back pop and immediately relieved sharp pain I’ve been having under my left armpit. My chiro and pcp didn’t seem to help it. You rock!
You doctors are my angels. I overdid it at the online Yoga class yesterday and suffered upper back pain. I have been doing all these exercises from this video twice a day and it has really helped!
