Thank you both so much, your help saved me from what I thought would be a life of chronic pain. Even after 6 months of therapy , the frequency reduced, but never left. Your video on referred pain seemed like familiar issues. It felt better immediately, and now after 8 months is gone completely 1 out of 2 days. I am grateful beyond words. Bless you.

In lockdown in the UK - no physio - you guys have turned the tide for me; gained so much knowledge, followed through and kept fibromyalgia stuff from swamping me. And you have given me back good deal of control. Thank you so much for all your willing help.

[@luckyshot8754]

I have to say, I totally bought a massage gun after watching you great guys and after reading through these people writing such great comments 👍👍 I have back pain since over 10 years, nobody found out how to get rid of those issues of my.. but after using that wonderful device, I finally am able to survive a day without medication and lvl 8 pain since.. I can remember. Bless and love goes out to you both 👍💛

Same, spinal fusion, scoliosis, years of pain, tried a massage gun yesterday and it felt incredible. Thought it was snakeoil but it is not.

I just tried the Chirp yoga wheel and that is the best thing for ELIMINATING the knots in my back. I went to massage every week for years. One time with Chirp did more than 7 years of massage. It is incredible.

I just got your massager. Ohhhhh my......ahhhhhh......the best ever ! Love it !

[@selahchunem8447]

By the way there was a typo the correct spelling is Dr. JAMES CYRIAC Orthopedic surgeon. His original protocol was 8 min for TFT then reduced to 3min yrs later for the reasons you mention. Mainly difficulty to endure pressure w/o getting tired or finger strain. Ice also for 10min post tx may be comforting. I learned this in clinical oryhpedics at Texas Chiropractic College 1988. TFT strengthens tendon/muscle tissue whereas TPT and ischemic compression releases pressure and tension. In chronic soft-tissue lesions there maybe adhesions you mentioned and scar tissue with induration requiring a barrage of movements for 3 mins 3x day consisting of rapid variations of tft,, ischemic comp., stroking. The same technique can be used to remove stubborn dried up strains on surfaces with appropriate cleaning agent and rag also fyi. Retired chiropractor l.m.t. turned janitor. 😆

THANKS for your information about pain back I have a lot trouble

Bob is so satisfied with his joke at 8:53 🤣

[@krissieflores9475]

I need help or recommendations… I am having a burning tense tight feeling next to my shoulder blade… I have been to my doctor that put me on pill steroids and muscle relaxers… and did an X-ray.. it still is hurting in that area..

Thank you both!👍

I have several large knots in my thigh that refer pain to my shin, knee and ankle. I have your wonderful rechargeable massage gun. What massage head is best for thigh knots?

[@zbear404]

Know how to workout, but don't know how to recover well. Thanks for the videos!

[@rhombus1991]

Hmm, what does it mean if pressing on my knots doesn’t cause me pain? Based on their description, pressing on a knot causes you pain but mine just feel hard and numb.

[@BobandBrad]

We would suggest you consult your doctor for a proper examination!

[@santeenl]

Is that a new massage gun in the background?

[@jackieblue5514]

When will your massage gun be available again on Amazon ?

[@amandadue3132]

As an LMT. I actually don’t use that many tools on my clients. (My own arms/hands I use lots of tools and especially ice :) saving the hands comes from learning how to use table height/gravity and lots of stretching to tag along the effleurage and NMT

[@whostolemunchkin]

Massage therapist, absolutely agree. Table height and the correct stance makes all the difference, you 'brace' your body and the force comes mostly from your legs and gravity. Imagine how you stand if you're pushing something large & heavy forward (like a wall or heavy door) One foot in front of the other, back leg in line with your back/spine, with your arm angled forward making another triangle. You can instantly feel the difference, hours of work and not that much strain on the arms, but without the right posture & only using your arm/hand strength you'll feel the strain in minutes. Quick tip for table height - stand facing the table, make a fist and swing your arms back and forward like a pendulum. You want your knuckles to just brush the top of the table, not bump into it or too high above it. Just those two things will save a world on pain with manual massage Also, when it comes to pain - it should never be truly painful, just pressure. Don't keep going and "push through the pain", ease off the pressure & maybe give that spot a rest for a bit before coming back to it. No pain no gain does NOT apply here, and it's usually easy to tell when you cross the point from pressure to pain. If you think "ow" that's too much.

[@Lightman741]

Is the theragun really better than other massage guns?

[@jantamwalei8046]

Thank you Bob and Brad for helpful video

[@genova6570]

Can anybody help me I started my baseball season recently and I’ve thrown open body and it’s killing my shoulder and I’m just trying to know what’s wrong with my shoulder?

[@trelligan42]

It's possible that there's not even anything wrong with your shoulder, but that you're using it wrong. Or some combination of pre-existing condition and usage. (Keeping your shoulder blades pulled in during most movements helps a lot of the time.) It might be worth a trip to a physical therapist who can suggest exercises to improve/correct your throw.

[@janicelansel2909]

I love their videos...they are helpful plus, Bob & Brad make me laugh. Good spirited guys. Thanks for your informative, fun videos.

12 rules for massaging away knots, muscle strains, or tendonitis. An antidote , to muscle pain. Is this a Jordan Peterson reference?

[@danyyilbun6736]

could be))

[@SylvusPresley]

My godmum is a massage therapist; she says it comes from the core, that’s why her hands don’t ache😁

[@bismarkbizmark5639]

Why would you want to break up the scar tissue when that's the tendon repairing itself?

[@tomsmith5202]

Because it’s less flexible, strong and pliable than regular muscle fibres and can cause pain and lack of function

[@davonnaweleczki6213]

Is Bob slurring?

[@derlachendevagabund7942]

Somebody told me always massage from distal to proximal, never the other direction
