You guys are awesome. These massages have provided so much pain relief. Thanks for taking the time to teach us so well.

[@waltercastro2015]

Oh wow i did the side to side massage. Omg it did release pain. Also I could hear the tendons or strings whatever is called pop like untied omg it felt sooooooo amazing.

[@MsEdnira]

Thank you a lot for the marvelous video! I have just bought a tens unit and these instructions are what I needed. The bonus massage was a plus! God bless you

[@deyda6537]

I recently started suffering from plantar fasciitis. I attribute it to having Lupus. Im never standing for long period of time or walking. I do lift weights at the gym to keep healthy muscle and heart as the Lupus is attacking it. On my good days i lift considerably heavy. I dont know if it has anything to do but I have a TENS machine and going to try it on my feet today for the first time.

[@cryptosavy9716]

How did it work?

[@deyda6537]

@@cryptosavy9716 it worked great! With one use I got a few days of relief. When I started feeling the pain come back I used it again and pain was gone for a few days. Im pretty much using it just once a week.

Bob & Brad would you advise this method before sprints

[@CSP194]

Is there anything that can be done for plantar fibroma? Would this work for plantar fibroma?

[@snoochee8650]

I'm not seeing that they respond to questions 😟 but I just got hooked up and I'm in my recliner. I got my unit today and I have significantly sized fibromas. One under the arch of each foot. Nothing has worked. Ice boots in pt felt good until they were taken off and I stood.. About as much relief as I'd get.. all the pt, injections.. Nothing. I'm really hoping this works because standing is so painful after a couple minutes or even less and walking is just 🤕. Did you get a unit? If not, I'll let you know if it helps. 🤞🤞🤞 Never thought at 45 my feet would get me down and affect my life so bad

[@CSP194]

@@snoochee8650 I did not get a unit. I hope the one that you have works well for you so you aren't in any pain anymore.

I want to use tens unit for helping with foot drop? How often and how much should i put the units?

[@GrizzleGear]

I have moderate calacaneal planter and dorsal spurs. Im told my only options are surgery, or plantar fasciitis treatments. I've tried every PF treatment known to man. Can't even walk anymore.

[@BobandBrad]

Very sorry to hear that. Have you tried our Plantar Fasciitis program? Here is a link in case you haven't: www.bobandbrad.com/health-programs/plantar-fasciitis-relief-program

[@janetizzo8186]

Does a TENS work for nerve inflammation/drop foot? I'm two weeks our of a TKR and had the bad luck of drop foot. Thank you, guys!

[@wiscgaloot]

I know a better way to cure PF but I guess I have to make my own video--unfortunately my 61 yr old feet are really ugly! I have a Nuemedics TENS 24--it works great on my back, shoulder, and knee but any place on my foot it is useless even if I put the pads a few mm apart. Do I need to buy a stronger TENS unit?

[@yakira04]

I don't see the PDF with pics of pad placements that you were talking about at 5:56 ..help please?! Thx GBU

[@mohammadhanif6450]

If your toes are contracting with using the tens, but not in pain, is that an issue?

[@jonstarbird8484]

I have a lot of pain in my ankles and feet. I have a tens machine that I uses for my neck to good effect. However when I place the pads on my foot and ankle as in your video I feel nothing what so ever, even on full power?

[@MikeAnn193]

Hey guys. This video reminds me of a question I have, and maybe a new idea for a video for you. Can a TENS unit be used to get rid of a muscle twitch? I've had a twitch in a back muscle off and on for two or three months, and it's really getting annoying. Sometimes it keeps me awake. The idea of a TENS unit came to mind a week or so ago, and I know this probably isn't the best place to ask but I don't know where else to submit my question.

[@LordzDominator]

YES. Ive used it to help with minor twitches in my thigh and bicep before

[@MikeAnn193]

@@LordzDominator ok good to know. Thank you.

[@rowland8482]

Can I use it for brain stimulation?

[@borealiswan2363]

The problem with TENS unit is that it's difficult to find the right type of massage, they all seem to aggravate or tease like restless leg syndrome. Otherwise it's a great tool to "debug" an area

Omg it makes my rls so bad
