Bob, your speech is coming along phenomenally--almost back to normal! So very pleased for you--and just love you both. Keep it up--all of it!

[@BobandBrad]

Thanks !

[@susanley6887]

Great video! Thank you. Bob, you’re sounding great. So happy for you.

[@BobandBrad]

Thank you!

Bob is looking good, I hope he’s feeling better!

Thank you

Your daughter must be a terrific speech pathologist. Sounding better and you seem to be moving better, too. Your progress must make you and your family happy. We're happy for you.

[@elisamastromarino7123]

Bob! You sound great! I love you gentlemen. I don't need to know you really well to love you for all you do. Brad, your wife is ...very clever. 😄 Thanks, guys!

[@BobandBrad]

You're very welcome, thank you for your kind words :)

I have a back injury right now and my landlord is doing an inspection tomorrow and I re-injured my back cleaning the bathroom.

[@BobandBrad]

So sorry to hear this!

[@7ackass]

Oh no!!!

[@monikavarro2020]

I'm going back to the doctor on Thursday about my back pain. 😩

[@BobandBrad]

Hopefully you find relief soon

[@kathlynterry8196]

Yes!!! This is exactly my problem.

[@BobandBrad]

Hopefully this helped!

[@FrugalAggie]

Bob, amazing progress with your speech in a short period of time! So happy for you! I need some help with my right thumb on my dominant hand. The carpal metatarsal joint has started to become painful due to years of thumb usage. I don't want to have surgery. Over the last few days, I've been practicing not grabbing with the thumb and just using the other four fingers or using my left hand. This has helped. How about doing a video on this issue along with any suggestions you may have, please. So grateful to you guys!

[@BobandBrad]

I have added this to our to do list! Thanks!

[@zuzuspetals8323]

Awesome, helpful tips! Thank you so much. I’m not a nurse but take care of my dad full-time, and bed care is tough on the back. I will use an imaginary “bull-ya” (sp? or “boo-ya”) stick to fix my bad habits. Keep smiling. 😉

[@BobandBrad]

Exactly, thanks for all you do!

[@RunningP123456]

Seems like Bob's speech has really improved! Great video guys

[@BobandBrad]

Thanks!

I have a low sink in my bathroom and I'm in the throws of back pain right now. I started brushing my teeth standing up and it does make a difference. I've been using all of your tips.

[@HarrisonCountyStudio]

I struggle with the kitchen sink, doing dishes. It really wrenches my back. I’ve found that placing one foot on a step helps while doing this chore.

[@monikavarro2020]

@@HarrisonCountyStudio I've heard of doing that but I don't have a step. My place is too small as it is.

[@kindsoul9975]

@@monikavarro2020 you can try to get one of those small plastic steps that are small enough to just go under your foot - well there's enough space to put both feet but it's really small. I think you can find one on Amazon for about 10 bucks

[@BobandBrad]

Great, happy we can help! Maybe get a taller sink if that's possible!

[@jmc8076]

Try a sml yoga brick or even a large can of food. I open cabinet door and sit one foot inside. Also put yoga brick, book or other object (try diff ones) on vanity top and put free hand down on it. May take bit of pressure off back.

[@dave9]

I moved recently and my lower back is feeling it. Bending my knees, straight the back and tightening the abs help. When I need to go through a box I just have to get down to my hands and knees. Try to relax laying flat on the floor helps to give the back muscles a break.

[@BobandBrad]

Moving is a difficult one to keep proper form consisently. Hopefully this helps!

[@annmariethomas9968]

Really helpful for everyday life which certainly includes doing dishes and brushing teeth.

[@BobandBrad]

Thank you for watching

[@ByDesign333]

I guess we can make our world more back-friendly if we take these tips. Thnx!

You're welcome!

[@jilllech9785]

Great information. The dishwasher had become my enemy. This may allow a truce. 😊

[@BobandBrad]

LOL, happy to help!

[@douglasalan5783]

Looking and sounding great, Bob! Thank you, both, for your back-saving tips.

[@BobandBrad]

Thanks! You are very welcome, we are happy to help

[@RoseGrace100]

Love you both! You make exercise fun!

[@BobandBrad]

Happy to hear it!

[@ksmith2852]

Whoever invented and marketed the front loading washer did not have back problems. Top loaders are the best!!

[@BobandBrad]

So true

[@mjcfsutton]

Doing the dishes really bothers me

[@tommymack3210]

Same! And emptying dishwasher

[@monikavarro2020]

Same. Anything where you have to stand for any length of time bothers me.

[@BobandBrad]

That is a tough one for your back!

[@b_uppy]

Been a while since I've listened. Is this video a repeat or is Bob responding fast to speech therapy??? Hopefully the latter. Good info.

[@BobandBrad]

It is not a video repeat!

[@3coins.]

I did it and I actually broke my back. It took months to heal. I hope I learned my lesson.

[@BobandBrad]

We are so sorry to hear that!

[@randomchannelonyt9125]

Bob, I really hope I am not being offensive, I just want to help. I suffer from b12 deficiency and this may sound like a joke but it can cause a whole lot of neurological, psychological, gastrointestinal symptoms. I read that it can also cause ataxia. If you didn't already, maybe you should check b12(the most accurate is the ACTIVE B12 blood test).Some people have been diagnosed with neurological disorders and in fact they were b12 deficient , there's even a documentary on youtube. Sending you blessings!

[@nleimkuhler1726]

Brad, you're looking good, too.

[@menoyuno8430]

Hey it looks like Brads voice is doing some major improvements if you look at videos from before you can hear a large difference.

[@BobandBrad]

Yes, thank you! (Bob)

[@jmc8076]

I asked my PT (very experienced like you) why this was making pain worse vs better. I had two left SI joint fusions and some chronic sacrum/Si pain (rods not touching nerve) since. PT tweaked (for me) w/o stick, 6-12“ from wall, hands on legs, bend fwd straight back as in video until butt touches wall then round my spine a bit to take pressure off my sacrum then keep sliding hands to knees. I’m sharing if others have similar issue but pls see good PT in person too.

[@jillalexander9195]

Excellent advice.

[@BobandBrad]

Thanks!

[@Hannah7881]

Thks - needed this!!! Is there a link for Bob’s back brace?

[@barrythomas6429]

If I have my back bent at that angle for more than a couple of seconds, I will get an excruciating pain that sends me to my knees.

[@BobandBrad]

So sorry to hear this! Have you seen your doctor or done any of our exercises to get this to stop happening?

[@maryan9096]

Hi Bob and Brad. Thank you for your wonderful content. Can you please do a video about spondylosis and operated herniated disc at the same time? Both lumbar. I don't know what movement I should be doing. Thanks guys! I'll appreciated

[@kindsoul9975]

Thanks for another great vid for solutions to every day pains! What are the 2 braces you both are wearing? Brand names and styles, please? Thanks!

Perfect timing!!! Hey, my PF wasn't getting better and foot felt like I had a 'flat tire' in the heel pad and pain at the back of the pad. I found 'fat pad atrophy' and have taped it several ways. Pain is about gone but if I don't tape, my ankle gets puffy both sides under ankle bone. I can't find anything on your channel on taping for FP Atrophy!

[@BobandBrad]

Happy to help!

[@kathleenreese5010]

Injured my back doing this yesterday just bending over to get something from a desk drawer. I feel severe pain in the left Sacroiliac area when I move. Is this a pulled muscle or something more serious?

[@BobandBrad]

We wouldn't feel comfortable guessing as to what this could be without being able to examine you, so if you don't feel relief in a day or two, we recommend you going to get checked out by your doctor.

[@kathleenreese5010]
