Come on* / c'mon*

[@chucknononsense146]

I have been able to avoid Ortho surgery for my knees, my lower back, rotator cuffs and elbows - just from watching your videos Bob and Brad. The stretching and strengthening exercises are excellent. Those, along with taking certain supplements and weight training - it has helped immensely after spending almost 30 years in the US Army Special Forces - literally hundreds of static line and MFF jumps, rappelling, thousands of miles with heavy rucks on my back, operating in all terrain around the world. I do NOT trust the VA to even take my temperature, no less go to them for any medical treatment. So, thanks you guys. At age 63 I am hoping I can continue to feel this good and keep the bad aches and pains at bay.

[@MaryMPringle]

I've been able to avoid back surgery thanks to physiotherapy. Bob and Brad are a great supplement to the work my PT has done with me.

That’s amazing! I’m 63 and was offered a knee replacement in 2015 and refused. Holistic or bust I say! My breakthrough technology glutathione product and molecular hydrogen water have literally taken me from restriction and inflammation to power walking daily without limping! Lots to celebrate!

[@firstlast1357]

Well as one who has had knee problems for a very long time, the best way of doing squats is Face the wall, while your toes are actually touching the wall. You’ll be surprised by how little you can squat. This way the knees don’t go over the toes, and you don’t make you knee’s problems worse.

[@liferipsfam]

wrong, knees over toes are the best method to train your knees to get stronger.

[@MultiChantal22]

@@liferipsfam That's like saying to make your breathing stronger you need to live in a high polluted area ... Technically it works (because you have to breathe more air and filter more, just like squatting knees over toes forces your knees to be stronger), but it is destructive so it's pointless

[@liferipsfam]

@@MultiChantal22 your analogy was terrible. So terrible, I can't even fathom to say much more about it that it's just terrible. lol. And no, Knees over toes are not destructive. That is dumb to say. Ask the KneesoverToes guy on all tons of high level athletes using his training to help build a stronger foundation. It simply works, but you are too indoctrinated by old science.

[@HubbaBubba-lu9tb]

You guys are awesome keep up with your videos. I have followed your videos for about a year now and just by doing the suggested exercises and sticking to it. I have lost 30 pounds kept it off and I never get the back pain I had before. I suffer from sciatica in both legs and a spinal curvature that occured from a car accident i use to have chronic pain and now I have little to no pain. Thank you so much you both saved my life with these videos. Your truly good people. Bless you both Bob & Brad 🤩

[@bholu1992]

Do u still hav sciatica and low back pain or is it gone???

[@HubbaBubba-lu9tb]

@@bholu1992 I still get it occasionally but it's not even close to as bad as when I left this review I also adjusted my diet and supplements to address inflammation /flare ups/back brace when working (prior I was unable to work and now I'm back to work 😍 I still stand by these exercises it's what jump started my recovery/maintenance.

[@billymitchell6850]

You two are a great team. Thank you both for taking the time to help others. I get a lot out of your videos.

[@nancysweeney2160]

Bob and Brad, Thank goodness you have this channel. I got tnr this last Monday. This is the most painful surgery ever!!! I will “think “ about having this surgery again for the other knee. And I am 57 years old. I cannot imagine people doing this in there 80’s. They have to be mentally strong! I watched you two before and after this surgery. You come off as being very friendly and caring. I can also tell you are good friends too. Whenever I just want to give up, I watch you two. You guys make me feel better. Thank you. Peace be with you both and your families too.☺️

[@susanhawkes2519]

I'm saving up for a Levitate brace by Springloaded of Canada to avoid, or at least postpone, a TKR.

[@kathleencolwell8947]

Very good instruction. I was an aerobics instructor (back in the eighties, when participating in an aerobics class really meant something for fitness) . I was very excited seeing your instruction with the step. A fitness instructor developed “step aerobics” with the blessing of her orthopod to rehab her own knee. The instructions you gave validated what I had shouted out during my classes: weight on your heels, squeezing your glutes up and down on the step.

[@SigFigNewton]

Turning my knees outward while bridging is how I was finally able to feel a burn in my glutes. After years of being perplexed by people claiming that various exercises activate glutes while I never felt a thing there, knees out and doing bridges did it for me. Will try cycling with my knees pointed out away from the bike to see if I’m finally able to feel my glutes while cycling.

[@bigchocolate4252]

Don’t ever change your intro

[@daves9355]

No doubt. Total classic!

[@chantelharper5859]

It makes me so happy dude.

[@dogtoots8923]

How could they when it’s the greatest intro on the internet? Lol

[@terrybrown3719]

Thank you. I have been watching for awhile and getting lots of help from you two and it's about time I thank you. Lots of good information from all your videos!

[@SensSword]

Watching your videos has helped enormously. I can now play ice hockey again without pain, other than from taking slap shots to the shins.

[@MrPattywac]

You are like the "car talk" guys of PT!

[@Lisa-sq3zl]

Haha! 100 percent. Are they still on?

[@jahmallajaima]

I thought that also

[@Lewis24hrs]

Thanks again for yet another good video with value

[@kristinecrandall3853]

Thanks for this B& B! My Podiatrist suggested my glutes are weak,which then causes tight calves after excercise, which then caused plantar fasciitis.

[@helend222]

Wonderful. You guys are helping so many people.

[@user-cr7oi9jo5q]

Hello guys thank you for the video on working on glutes. Now both of my knees have been totally tiatium knee replacement. I don't have the flexibility in my knees to do squats very good but this one video will help me out so thank you

[@junelovell1189]

as usual: exactly what I need. sadly, the PT people i'm going to see at 10 am this morning are not providing this kind of detail.

[@kyanhvu4793]

Thank you for this video and exercise examples! Helps a ton 💪🏼

[@hym8nc1]

Love you guys! I have NMO, which has weakened my lower extremities. Your videos have helped me so much. Thank you!

[@jeanzei]

Have to be careful not to upset sciatica. Your timing is impeccable

[@bevd79]

Love what you do! Thanks for keeping us healthy! :)

[@debbiemcclure2874]

Thnx for the info guys. This will help ease the pain of squats. I will try both ways. God bless you

[@tinaplakingertreadingonserpent]

I recently pulled (probably shredded) the muscle tissues on left leg way up into the glute and around crotch area. it's been four weeks now and I have it wrapped, using TENS. This is good stuff; can't wait to try this when I can. Right now, I still cannot bend and reach. Thank you.

[@murdockdisraeli3015]

Best intro music on KZbin and I subscribed!

[@moggridge1]

Guys, could you up the volume of your audio during the video please? It's very low if you compare it with the theme tune, or most other videos on KZbin. Thanks!

Thank you B&B You tWo are GREAT

[@nnicolerae]

What about "crepitus"? What to do when popping and cracking knees and hips when going upstairs?

[@CooperCarr]

My knees and hips popped I started regularly squatting and eventually the popping stopped.

[@washingtonmike8296]

Any special consideration exercise-wise for folks with double knee replacements?

[@quanta040185]

Hello, I am looking for exercises for lower back pain, strengthen glutes that are non-floor exercises, because I cannot do those types of exercises. I noticed some of the non-floor, standing up exercises in some of your videos. Could you provide some more of these exercises? Thank you.

[@jesicasa3718]

Thanks. I'm starting a routine.

[@susanclingenpeel3338]

Thanks for "help with the knees". I have 2 meniscus tears in one knee; Dr says I can run and skip all I want; however, my GP looked at the papers, and says the tears are extreme. Knee Dr didn't speak in layman terms, so I'm considering returning to him and getting more info. I've had better results at the gym, being careful. Do you have any suggestions for workouts at the gym ? Thanks for any info you can share !

[@dogsareprecious4842]

Thank you for yet another great vid ! :)

[@thiaggo]

Hi Bob&Brad, please, would you show some excercises to those people who have chronic cervical or neck pain?

[@thewitchofthewilds]

I'm one of those patients that does not usually fall into the larger percentiles. And my questions is what if squats don't hurt my knees, but glute bridges do??? My knees feel almost "tight" as if a muscle or tendon is being pulled the wrong way during the bridge.

[@rupawateefalcon9545]

❤ Thank you 🙏 , I have knee problems and by doing the glutes exercise help me a lot. My knee swelling and pain decreasing…. And I do this work in the gym or home! ❤ I spend thousands of dollars in therapy, and they don’t teach you this exercises, but recently I come across a video on KZbin and I did some research about the knee problem and here you are saying the very same thing thank you guys. God blessed great human on this Earth’s

2-4kg. It’s more for stability than ‘weight’.

[@Gurjeetsingh-dq4yb]

Should person with tailbone pain do this ?

[@susanhawkes2519]

I cannot avoid the arc of the knee during the step up. I have bone spurs somewhere according to MRI so I suspect I'm weighting and unweighting different planes as I click and arc in pain. Twenty-five years ago I needed Speedplay Frogs as bike pedals because they allowed lower leg to rotate throughout each revolution. Can't even make a complete revolution of bike pedals in PT. You guys fixed my sciatica. Going to search for iliotibial band help from you guys. Don't want that total knee amputation surgery!
