I love your guy's friendship. It's good to see 2 people helping others with a smile. And good shit bob. I love your confidence. It's easy to live in the past and let changes get you down. But not you buddy! Thanks guys

[@kelsorose9236]

You guys are kindof my stand in dads. Showing me how to show up and take care of myself when I wasn’t taught too. This account has helped me continue to change my life. I love these guys; I’ll be wishing Bob all the best 💐

[@anaisanais89]

Aww☺️🧡🙏

[@susangordon9351]

Great to see you back. You two have been my go-to’s to keep this 57 year old in a very active lifestyle. Everything went from arrogantly healthy, to “What’s happening to my body?” after being rear-ended a year and a half ago. Thanks for all the great product advice and exercises.

[@patrickscafe7]

Wish I knew about this 3 weeks ago. Yeaterday I installed your stretch band system in our new home

[@melaniev4390]

I have two bright teens with a stutter that hasn't responded to years of speech therapy. Thank you for normalizing that not everyone has fluid speech!

[@WVgrl59]

You know he had a reaction to wheat/gluten and is working on his speech. I believe he said one of his daughters is a speech therapist. Have you tried singing? Don't know how it helps but it can.

[@brendap.8492]

Bob has Ataxia. Go back a month from todays date and watch “What Happened to Bob? Prayers. Bob gives a great explanation of this condition.

[@gerry4281]

Go to American Speech and Language Association for up to date information on Stuttering management.

[@mattTHEEgreat]

Omg this video is a savior. I have been having the same issue with my right trap for the last few day and that chair trick just knocked it out. Absolutely amazing

[@counselorchick15]

Love you guys so darn much! Hope you’re still enjoying doing the videos cuz we still need them! Regardless of the PT, you two give us hope for humanity! Generously. ❤️

[@ashanein]

Well said 💜💜💜

[@mskittyjudy6943]

So sorry about your Ataxia. Hope you and your family are doing as well as you can. GOOD LUCK.

[@theresafinn4257]

Glad see the two of you back together.

[@litaperna1128]

You have helped me and been my companion through many painful and dark nights. Thank you. My life is better with you in it.

[@WVgrl59]

I have this problem after I fell on ice 11 years ago. I have used a foam roller and a chirp wheel but these are the exercises that I need to do. ❤️ I need to also strengthen my core because I have slipping rib syndrome.

[@DuhRake]

Great to see you two guys back at it. Thanks for the tips!

[@thejanetflights7396]

Holy cow I just tried it and the chair leaning back exercise really works to release the tension…thank you guys!! My tech neck is affecting just about everything, including the traps😩

[@1969Tracey]

I have had bursitis on and off in my right shoulder, aggravated when I play my beloved pickleball. I just watched this video on trap pain and really feel like I maybe have been misdiagnosed as all my pain I coming from the top of the shoulder where the muscle is. Thanks Bob and Brad for your continued gift to thousands of people who suffer from debilitating pain. Sorry to hear about your Ataxia Bob. Glad to see both of you here on KZbin. All the best

[@TamsynKent]

❣‼MUST READ ‼❣ @Bob and @Brad, I have had this same issue for a few days now, I've been close to tears from the pain, you can't sleep, can't work very effectively... My left arm is numb from the pain. Now I'm close to tears from the *INSTANT* relief! I cannot express my gratitude enough! The last exercise took it away and it's only a dull ache at the moment. I'll do this exercise daily as you recommend. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! I am an ex-pat living in Germany, and the language barrier and the medical merry-go-round you must go through to see a physio have left me in pain for DAYS now.

[@joeyrazzano]

I did all those! Ice, infrared, shoulder adjuster thing, roller, yoga....all helped a little but not completely. Thanks for sharing something that works!

[@tbchamplin1628]

Looks like you’re improving. Continuing to pray for y’all.

[@nc2764]

What happened to Bob? I noticed his speech is slower. Makes me sad

[@BobandBrad]

@@nc2764 Bob (the tall one) has been diagnosed with Ataxia. It affects his balance and his speech, but does not affect his thinking. We appreciate your understanding and support!

[@nc2764]

Bob & Brad thank you for the explanation and I’m sorry. I love Bob and Brad. Both very nice men and post such helpful, practical tips. 💕

[@harmonicachick100]

Glad you found relief, Bob! Next time do the 10th rep first tho. Silly Brad! Love you guys. Thanks for sharing this neat tip for acute trap pain. 👍💝

[@giovanneofficialyoutube1480]

Thank you so much sir Bob and Brad for daily motivation😘😘❤❤ i love your videos notice from Philippines

[@juststartingover2735]

Good to see both of you this Monday morning! Thank you guys!

[@mykldean]

Thank you gentlemen, I suggest your videos to all of my client/ patients as a massage therapist for going on 20 years now. Upper trap pain seems to be the bane of humanity especially these last 10 years or so. Not just because people seem to be more and more high strung all the time but all the computers and devices and bad posture I'm sure contribute considerably. Self massage will get you out of a lurch most of the time for this, and a deep tissue massage therapist worth their salt will teach you how to manage it so it just doesn't get bad in again and the massage therapist get you a good head start in a series of treatments. Also should be training you on exactly how to do that. Best to have a professional massage therapist help you to understand the safety factors with self massage and the major muscles you have to pay attention to on a regular basis to stay ahead of the imminent tight tissue which we are so good at creating and ignoring until we can't ignore it anymore... Pain is like that right, trying to tell you something. The things that you mentioned to resolve the pain are on the right track though I suggest doing correct push-ups versus bands for this one. Anyway people need to know a lot more about maintaining this particular area obviously. Fortunately there are so many simple techniques where you can use just about anything or just your own hands to create proper flow when you've let these tissues become chronically tight. The chair thing works for a short period of time and is somewhat minimal relief at that. Though it's great in a pinch especially if it's so tight it's aching and you can't even think straight. Of course there's a lot of typical tight muscle groups that you got to stay ahead of or your upper body is going to be a mess... No wonder people don't get along so great these days, everyone is jacked up on pain meds psych drugs and letting themselves be tortured by tight tissue that anyone can easily stay on top of and spend maybe a half hour a week doing self massage. In order to feel good every day... And watch you guys too.

[@MarvTube]

You guys are the best! Gotta ♥ the two most famous physical therapists on the internet!

[@transformation2479]

Everywhere i go i mention you guys and everyone already knows you and loves your show!!

[@sherry3952]

[@carolepilarski4871]

[@carolepilarski4871]

Thanks Bob and Brad but I'm 71 years old and don't know how to do Telegram! I will get one of my kids to help me! Going to visit my daughter in 3 days so I will get her to help me!

[@MichaelLemus]

[@peanut3741]

Great video Bob and Brad! Love you guys!!

[@pugglepooch]

Oooh...gonna try the chair stretch thing Bob did. Not got the bands. Love the energy and positivity! ❤

[@sallyhenderson2772]

Great information, thank you. I need to get some wall anchors.

[@Cgrill95]

I had this same pain, doing the chair exercise helped immediately. I’m not kidding either. I saw your other video about shoulder pain but did the self tests in the video and it was clear that was not my issue. I did that one exercise and it helped immediately swear on my life

[@zenMermaiden]

B&B's Wall Anchor is a great tool! I do a few reps every time I pass by it.

[@karenyvonp]

You two are inspirational and the best for all things online PT.

[@CarmenBelcher]

Whoa this is the exact pain I got in bed on Friday and still hurts today!!! Right on time w this video

[@portofstillwater5698]

[@limited9998]

I am 17 and got lower back pain from quiet a couple of days , after I go gym and They didn't say about the cautions, Sir I came from your back pain abs exercise, just to thank you and see if you still do videos in 2022 , I want to avoid my my mother's spondylitis and arthritis☠️❤️

[@franandericharman2088]

Love you two.. awesome suggestions. Great to see you both again. Cheers from Canada

[@ForeverYoungKickboxer]

Another timely video! Thanks guys!

[@elizabethbeckman1947]

Thank you Bob for sharing and your demonstration. Very helpful.

[@sandyd829]

Amazing you seem to post a video that I need to see. Currently dealing with neck and shoulder pain. Been to DO for realignment, thinks it's from falling asleep on couch. Taking alieve will add some of your exercises for good measure.

[@patrickbrady9196]

Bob, Glad to see you back!

[@tbchamplin1628]

You’re all keeping me laughing with the antics. Sweet.

[@yogawithangelia6561]

Thank you both. 😊

[@andreaarchambeau9499]

The Thermo-tex is a miracle! Love it. Only complaint is that it’s hard to use in the summer heat.

[@tnijoo5109]

My chairs have higher backs than the one at 4:30. Is there another way to do this without buying a new chair?

[@reginaromsey]

What can you use if you don’t have a folding chair?

[@nancylagoyda5337]

I just had a bad fall and fractured my pelvis. I do not need surgery. Is there anything I can do to help the healing?

[@Pittsburghwriter]

Have you made a video about canes and how to adjust a cane to make it the right height? When I first started using one, I found out (a few months later) that I needed to adjust the height. Have you made a video about that? I have to get a new cane and I can't remember what I was told with how to properly adjust it, especially since I am short (5'3").

[@colkelwil6503]

Thank you for sharing your expertise!

[@ginah8023]

I’ve had terrible trap pain for over a month. The pain is excruciating radiating down my arm. Went to the doctor , they said it’s a pinched nerve in my neck . Sent me to pt, it is not helping.I had a knot on my shoulder blade, which is gone but the terrible pain down my arm remains. Any suggestions ?

[@davidjones4600]

Even though the natural mindset is to focus on getting rid of the pain (because nobody likes being in pain), being PTs, both of you know that the symptoms (pain/discomfort/swelling) are never the true problem. They are the body’s response to the true problem. That said, even though Bob got the upper trap pain to go away, the true cause of the upper trap pain is still in his body, so there is the possibility of it coming back, or showing up as a different response somewhere else in his body.

[@elizabethbeckman1947]

I like what you shared David. Bob, did mention he felt posture (slacking on his exercise routine) the cause. It crossed my mind that the successful exercise method might pinpoint or identify (no guarantee) the source of the actual pain. Bob went through all the exercises to get to the one that worked for him, also to demonstrate for viewers; any one or fewer might be adequate to resolve pain for someone else; I still see your point - does it eliminate the problem. Bob and Brad spoke about maintenance as a tool. I've come to believe sometimes there's no way of knowing.

[@db44491]

Bob and Brad you are the best, love your videos.

[@juliadavid3637]

Awesome you guys as usual, love and light to you both ❤️ God's Blessings 🙏

[@juliadavid3637]

Thank you for reply. You guys are such a help to me and to so many. I share with my friends. ❤️

[@NikolaTeslaEE]

I get this issue when I OHP (Over Head Press) heavy weight. It drives me nuts. I try pushing a lacrosse ball into the area that hurts, but it only helps a little. I’ll have to try this. Thank you guys!

[@karenlynn7791]

I freeze a disposeable diaper after I fill it with water. The fabric keeps the ice off my skin it stays cold for hours.the velcro works if you put it on your knees. It's a miracle!

[@lovinliftin4956]

Hi Bob and Brad. I have a curious question. Woul one of those posture shirts or vest things help?

[@ChereeLS]

Thank you for these tips! Glad to see both of you on here up to your usual antics! lol

[@DMagnifyScentlady]

Here now! I hope a lot woll be helped with this sharing!

[@JC-ri5mc]

Bob you are my inspiration to keep moving...

[@washingtongumballs]

I guess I need to order a folding chair. How do I not have a chair that will work? Thank you so much for this video, I’ve had trap problems since I was 14. I’m in my 40’s now and weight training has been helpful but once in a while I still make a wrong move in my daily life and throw it off again.

[@leojohnwayne1422]

Any idea on why when I slightly bend forward I get a sharp pain on my back?

[@sharoncunningham7550]

Thank u Bob and Brad 🥰

[@gymfailshorts216]

I used one of the massage guns I see you have at the back of you guys. It also helped a great lot

[@BobandBrad]

That’s great to hear! Thanks for the feedback 😁

[@csmoothsk8ter17]

I need to get the bands and the infer red thingy. I know that pain all to well, it's AWFUL😥

[@Cgrill95]

You guys rock! Thank you for helping

[@kibagami25]

love the videos and i recommend everyone i know to check your channel. keep these great videos coming.

[@ibpositivemostly7437]

Cool video thanks.

[@sirenagarrido3836]

Guys I have infrared light like a pistol I didn’t realize when I bought it that there were more things in the market and I can’t afford to buy another one right now so what you suggested I should do about my pain on my shoulder trap this pistol you need to used like for 30 minutes and they said every day but keeping the arm in the air is very uncomfortable for so many minutes, please let me know what you think and thank you

[@shreyashrestha3717]

Hey!!! I have been suffering from upper trap pain since a year now and its makes this cracking sound and there's this continuous discomfort..which video of yours do you think will help me ?

[@serendipitysisters84]

Great video!! 👏 Btw I love that you guys asked for prayers, and that’s what I will do! Ask and you shall receive, God says seek Him and you will find Him. 🙏 God says if we know we need Him, and know we are only human, just degrading flesh, then we can be hungry for God’s truth! We can be thirsty for something better! It’s the weak that will inherit the kingdom of heaven. God is the true source of healing and He promises to return to those who acknowledge this at the time of Revelation. Revelation 21:4 a promise for a better world to come (for those who seek it) 🤍

If love to be able to use k tape. It's there a lie allergy one?

[@kevinsmith9297]

Love theses guys

[@corporaterobotslave400]

I've had ridiculous pain in my left upper trap for MONTHS! I've been to massage therapists and chiros and nobody seems to be able to help relieve it, at least not for very long. I have to smoke weed all the time for relief, and when it gets really bad oxycodone. This has been extremely debilitating, I can't do 1/4 of what I normally can get done.

[@katherenewedic8076]

Maybe try an orthopedic and physical therapist

[@maxfi3dler668]

i feel ya, i have myofascial pain in my traps and most of my back for months, bad trigger points that won't go away basically. I did lots of physiotherapy but I ain't better yet.

[@SpencerHeckwolf]

How is it now? I currently have insane upper trap pain. Any suggestions?

[@HGCUPCAKES]

**Generic Medication** Unless you’re allergic to “filler” ingredients in medication. Those allergic to iodine may also be allergic to povidone. Man made form of iodine. Povidone is a filler used in medications as it’s cheaper than using other ingredients, which cost more. Always check what’s in your meds IF you have known allergies or family history of reactions. 🙏🏽

[@chrisbush2478]

What does trap pain mean?

[@tracybzowy2486]

It could be your gallbladder. Referred pain. The phrenic nerve comes up and is under the trap area making it hurt and no amount of massage will take it away the inflammation in your gallbladder will have to calm down.

[@Karen4-z8m]

we wanted people to hang around 😆

[@katherenewedic8076]

Generic is not the same as label. Often the other ingredients cause their own problems. Production processes and the actual effective ingredient can vary. The most blatant and unethical difference in generic and label drugs is with psych meds. Professional observation.

[@vcmedia1895]

Omg mine been killing me for 7 days

[@georgeduncan341]

Double lacrosse balls , percussion machine and contract and resistance

[@Maynulhasan19]

McKenzie really gave me instant relief

[@RSJohnson-Author]

Please look into Synergy Stones. I found mine in Seattle at Pikes Market, but you can get them online. I had a pinched nerve in my upper back, and I couldn't drive even 10 minutes. My arm ached, and my hand was numb for weeks. My chiropractor did nothing but pop my back and charge money. I found a Synergy Stone, when I put it between my spine and my shoulder blade, the relief was immediate. My arm pain subsided, my hand came back, and I was able to drive for two hours straight to our destination. It was immediate. They have a lifetime guarantee too. I broke mine once, and they replaced it, no questions. Worth it!

[@Ninjamom4]

👍👍
