Bob I am sorry to hear about your diagnosis of ataxia. You’re an amazing PT and you’ve taught me much through your videos. I am applying to PT school now! Any case, best of luck to you with dealing with it and we’re here to support you if needed.

[@jeroldpaquette9068]

Of course I am a tad sad every time you say that you cannot fix a broken heart w/ pt😿

[@BobandBrad]

Thank you!!

[@BobandBrad]

@@jeroldpaquette9068 we are still trying 😁

[@janc460]

@@BobandBrad my dad has inherited ataxia and I know you must be having a hard time adjusting. Some of the things he needed to do was change his diet and stop alcohol. It really helped his day to day life.

[@alanfurlong-drummer4419]

Yes God bless you Bob I wish you as much healing to you as is possible. God bless you.

[@janajones6711]

I was diagnosed with Ataxia in 2016. I know exactly what you're going through. Somethings are more difficult but you've got a great background and great support team. We can do this!

[@BobandBrad]

Yes!!

I'm watching, need to watch again!! Love your exercises, stretches..💜💜love you both..too

Friends don’t give up on each , growing older and facing their own health issues . God bless to both , your hearts have always been in the right place . Very helpful and informative instructional videos geared for the common people . These guys are AWESOME !

[@CDubs754]

Hi Bob & Brad, Thanks for all the excellent videos over the years. In 2021 my hamstring was tore near in half and your videos were extremely helpful in my own road to recovery - thank you! @Bob, hang in there and keep fighting the good fight! I think you guys are such a great team.

[@tapankikani2561]

Good wishes to Bob. We therapists can handle more with the knowledge we have. You and Brad have given so much to the community. The positive vibes coming back to you!

[@cherieiduke1723]

I am glad to see Bob is still continuing to do these. It is proof that we can all do these. I hurt my back... was practically bed ridden. Started doing yoga from tv and found you. You helped. I got muscle relaxers got to a local physical therapist. I walked in with a cane walked out on my own. I was using a wheelchair in the house.

[@BobandBrad]

Thanks for sharing

[@1234cheerful]

Congratulations!

[@theodoreresultan3312]

I really appreciate your channel I'm a PT myself and have learned so much from you over the years. In turn you have helped countless of my patients as well.

[@RandyWinn42]

Hey Bob, I want to thank you for being a good example of bravely facing a problem and still putting it out there - with help and support from your friends. This video - and several older ones - has been VERY helpful to me as I learn to care for me body which is again (... as is everybody's!)

[@G4mer_D4d]

Thank you guys. Doesn't seem enough, but thank you from the bottom of my whole heart. I've had sciatica nerve shooting after being a carpet cleaner for 8 years, working 10-12 hour days. It stopped pinching the nerve after doing some relaxed standing and walking, months to a year later. I've never been able to balance both legs and hip since. My right side rides lower and starts to cramp. Thought it was my butt cheek. I've tried so many things over 3-4 years (except go to a doctor) and nothing has worked, except minor things like putting my feet and knees together and bending knees with arms out, putting feet up and sinking hips while pulling head back in a chair. I've watched 3-4 of your videos that gave me real hope. This hamstring one is the golden ticket, I feel. My hamstring is tight and leveraging my hip down and at an odd angle. Despite all of my own delusional self diagnosis, when I actually get mindful enough to fire my glutes a HUGE amount of pressure is reduced. I may be able to turn left soon... it was fun to say I have, "Zoolanders disease " though.

[@gilbertparris6063]

Bob, I am so glad to see you still helping us! I have MS, and have been using your videos to help maintain the best lifestyle I can. You are truly a great physical therapist, and I'm glad you're continuing to help us be our best selves!!!!

[@Ni-wl9uh]

I hope you are doing okay, I was reading they are doing stem cell research on MS recently and red light therapy can help with pain management. Stay well ❤

[@TheBrainFlow]

All the best to dear Bob! 1 of the most famous physical therapists on the internet!💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️

[@BobandBrad]

Thank you 😊

[@clintsantos]

All the best for both of you guys. I've been following you both here in youtube before you reached your 1000th sub. Your channel is very informative. I am doing most of the stretches and exercises here and I also teach them to friends and relatives that suffer from back, muscle and joint pains. Stay an inspiration to many and thank you.

[@kellyjohnson5663]

B & B are the bomb! 💣

[@wfpittuw]

You both have helped me over the years improve my health and lessen chronic pain. I will be thinking of you Bob on your journey with Ataxia.

[@BobandBrad]

Thank you 😊

You guys are great ! And Bob I wish you the best of luck and please know that you have total support from all your fans and most of all you have our prayers, Be well !

[@TheFlexSmith]

Bob you are the man! In spite of your ataxia you keep putting out videos. You have no idea how much you inspire me. Brad you are an awesome friend and colleague! I love your that continue to support Bob and work to keep these videos going. You guys keep making content and I will continue to support. God Bless!

[@utubemando]

I have had a surgery to repair my hamstring since it completely separate from its attachment in a fall while skiing. I have cramps since then. I’ll certainly try your tips! Thanks to booth of you, and spécial thanks to Bob to stay on KZbin despite a sad diagnosis. It is helping raising awareness, and show we stay humain after all, even with illness. Wish you the best!

Just tried the standing single leg exercise. I’m surprised to note that I had trouble contracting that glute muscle. I have hip and knee problems on that side. I hope strengthening the glutes will help with these other issues. Thanks so much, guys!

[@reza_dc2]

How is everything going ? I have some knee pain and my pt said my glutes are very weak. Hoping to build them up.

[@123fiona456apple789]

WOW! I have definitely learned something at 60+. Our butts can have amnesia! 😳 That's so interesting to know. Thanks guys for teaching us, as well as showing us WHAT TO DO when it happens to us. Y'all have a beautiful weekend. 🌄

[@rufuscusack2962]

Bob & Brad, I can't even begin to tell you how much you've helped my family & I!!!!! GRATITUDE times infinity! We are so sorry to hear of Bob's Ataxia diagnosis. Our hearts' go out to you. I have researched & I am in the healthcare field. However, I feel a great number of your followers don't know what ataxia is & maybe (if Bob feels comfortable with explaining what it is) it would be helpful to followers, especially with others that may have symptoms, if you both did a video about it. Again, only if Bob is comfortable. Health conditions are a personal, even private issue, if person chooses & we the public MUST RESPECT that! Nevertheless, sending support & prayers to you both!

[@debbiesue8207]

Thank you guys! :)

[@truepackone]

Best Wishes to you Bob. Thank you both for your very helpful videos helping so many including myself to live healthier active lives longer! Your both as I've heard many times ROCKSTARS for all your help!

[@michellefrothingham4275]

Love your camaraderie and your commitment to our health. Have enjoyed every video as well as learning the various theories of ‘why’ and the ‘fix’ for our body dilemma’s. Keep the content flowing! I believe i have the answer as to why so much cramping to my right hamstring… so off i go to fire up my gluteals👍🤣

[@ja3403]

This is just the set of exercises I needed! I've been doing some ( it helps) this will be great to add in. Thank you as always for helping us all lead more active and comfortable lives! Keep the good advice and good vibes coming!

That was great thanks and Bob keep on truckin positive vibes flowing your way

[@hennahannnah]

In just a month, I’ve become a big fan of you two guys! I saw another video where you recommended the bridge to help stretch the psoas. Enthusiastic after your video, I did a *fantastic* job with the bridge, creating a super trigger point in my left lats. 😂 It was hard to walk at first but is better now. I look forward to resuming the bridge (or one of the variations) perhaps with moderated enthusiasm…it helped a lot. lol

[@nickshepherd8377]

Bob you have been an inspiration to literally thousands of people. Hopefully the support and prayers you will undoubtedly receive from all of us will be an inspiration to you. ❤️

Welcome back Bob! Really sorry to know about your ataxia diagnosis, but happy seeing you back in the channel. Thank you, I learn alot about PT from you guys

Glad to her my problem has a name and I will definitely incorporate the exercises suggested in your show. Thank you! PS I am 78. The oldest in my class along with one that has a walker. No excuses most everyone can improve.

[@hermanirish6794]

Hi Bob & Brad I think I suffer with glute amnesia only long walks tend to sort it out. I believe this is due for the last two years due the pandemic my work has mostly changed from being on my feet more and moving; to mostly sitting down on tasks. Thanks for the tips! And Bob hope your going to be ok? And if possible you along with Brad will develop some coping mechanisms for you to trail and use. Thanks for all the videos and recommendations that you both give. Remember Bob you have put us your subscribers health and therefore our Well Being first for a long time now! that goes for you as well Brad! Now is the time to put both of your health and well being first! And now start viewing work with a more pragmatic mindset with regard to how you more forward with your practices and wider reach with your subscribers and supports. Take Care Stay Safe and God Bless👑👑
