[@TheAmaraHorton]

Woah! I’ve been binging your videos ALL week and JUST bought a foam roller yesterday. Great minds must think alike! And you both are amazing. Thank you for your informative videos. ❤️🙏🏾

[@loriloristuff]

[@beautifulqueen748]

Great Job!✌🏻

[@Roses88]

My mom did the same to me 😂

[@nothing3376]

I’m 19 lmao

[@kenfordbody4lyfefitness]

I love the fun loving bantering that goes on between these two, makes learning and research light and fun/funny even.

[@ellenmumford3843]

Loved this video! I’ve been rolling for years and I still got some great new ideas! So, suggestive works! I’m determined to stay limber. Thank you B & B

[@BeYourUniquePotential]

I do love Bob and Brad in the mornings with a cup of coffee. You two rock so much with your banter. I just bought a foam roller and would love to know more about the muscles, nodes etc behind the knee as it seems to be giving quite a release and I am aware that it may be a contra indication somehow. Thank you guys. Waving to you with thanks from Cornwall, UK

[@denisemariner1235]

Let Brad talk!! This is why he puts socks in the fridge!!!😂

[@CSP194]

Gosh, I love you guys!! So informative and funny at the same time. You two make taking better care of ourselves so much more fun.

[@AboutCreativity1]

Very good, ´´Persistence guarantees that results are inevitable. - Paramahansa´´

[@laurabranco8485]

I really appreciated you talking about the research into foam rolling in addition to showing the exercises. Hooray for science!

[@DanceDelightOfficial]

I am just starting up as a physiotherapist...and I trust ur channel and knowledge and experience a lot..and first of all its really fun to watch how u interact..

[@HappyCat3096]

Thanks to this video I tried this and it helped my fibro pain a lot.

[@melodieking7850]

Thank you for all the great information, you guys are so good and you look so healthy.

[@ginalombardi4293]

You two crack me up 😂

[@christyhughes6632]

Forget KZbin! And anybody else who's going to have derogatory thoughts! Seriously you said it works on the hip. I didn't know that and I seriously needed that! Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you! Bob and Brad you have helped me so many times thank you! Wishing you sunshine and gentle nights

[@mickeyradz5085]

Been watching you guys for a while now. Keep up your amazing & informative vids. Was glad you guys made a vid about foam rolling because i’ve found it quite effective on me personally and you guys articulated it well!

[@techstermb]

Thanks for the discount code for the vibrating foam roller !!

[@paulaarguello1693]

I love these guy I had tedenitice. And I watch their ONE of their show and follow what they said to do for it and was able to go to work and got well fast thank you guys

[@thirdeye9106]

I listened to 8:40 of informative drawn out chat and then I got the big reward... The demo exercises started at 8:41. ❤! Super helpful. Fun guys. Thanks.

[@sarahknotts7942]

Oh my mercy - I am so glad I clicked on this video. It TOTALLY made my night after a long (painful) day.

[@rosav.nieves2778]

I used a foam roller every single day. i have pain in my hips, back, knees. Wow, a VIBRATING foam roller makes a huge difference. I used one that does not vibrate for around two months. But after trying a vibrating one I am totally in love. Often when I am in pain, I run to foam roll. Highly recommended. I bought mine in Amazon for almost a $100.00. They can be powerful!!!

[@keepfitgirl8191]

That was my favourite Bob n Brad video ever 🤣🤣🤣 - and I learnt stuff too! Emma x

[@melsterifficmama1808]

Why Bob! You guys are too funny. KZbin is not going to ban your rolling video, lol!

[@michellemacioszek6062]

You are doing a really great informed ,educational video on how to get the best for everyone's health! Thanks Bob and Brad!!!!

[@amydmac1]

Great video! I love when I get to laugh and learn at the same time!

[@monicawhitlock681]

Great vid....thanks for the info.....AND the laughs!

[@victorpierrelouis8222]

Great video you guys satisfied the title no matter what

[@KingZahi]

I just started watching this channel and i love it lol informative and hilarious

[@orwell2020]

Watched this Monday morning and just laughed so much. Needed that. Plus I love foam rolling. Tom Brady is with the Bucs.

[@chaserowe6439]

You guys greatly improved my posture! Thank you! How can you tell if your flat feet are correctable or genetic?

[@mattb9664]

I use a medium density foam roller with massage knubbies about every day and it's definitely great for squeezing out all the little back cracks. It's also very good at releasing trigger points for those tense traps at their corners. I couldn't believe I spent $70 on it at the time, but has been worth it.

[@Nan-59]

I just decided I’m going to buy that vibrating foam roller, sometime after August 3 when my next disability check comes through! I’m excited! Don’t forget to look in the drop-down box because it gives you a code for 10% off!😳👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@kaykaye6637]

My favorite episode so far

[@Roly679]

I've used a piece of 4" (100mm) waste pipe when travelling, put a towel over it to cushion slightly. Doesn't take up much room because you can stuff it with clothes that didn't need ironing.

[@junelune2344]

What do you guys think about cupping would like your opinion.

[@dragonrider9051]

I have been using assorted sizes of trigger clamps I got at a hardware store. Best thing ever. What do you guys think, is that possibly harmful?

[@butterpecan6143]

You guys are so funny thank you!

[@ChrisSmith-yx6uq]

Love you guys!

[@johngraham6729]

If you guys had been my PT instructors I might have had a better chance at becoming a PTA.

[@smilesmile7330]

Geography Geology Geometry!

[@AndreaM77]

I was hoping you would show if the roller can be used for dowager hump pain? And which kind do you recommend

[@mikedok1]

Hilarious video! Couldn’t stop laughing throughout. Great info

[@alberthancock672]

Wanted to see more foam rolling exercises...you guys were not getting crazy...

[@msheavnly77ify]

Is there specific foam rolling moves you would suggest for sciatica?

[@kenfordbody4lyfefitness]

Actually loved how natural and informal yet informative this video is. Very refreshing from the tightly scripted, serious poker faced stuff lol

[@alexparker6491]

Just awesome!

[@barakbalestrery4138]

What do you guys think about using about using a yoga wheel like the Chirp for your back? They are supposed to hit the upper back better. I own 3 sizes of yoga wheel and two static foam rollers.

[@BUEAU]

We wanna foam roll the house down. Love you guys!

[@leontinen9689]

Watching this made me laugh and splurt my coffee!

[@darlenericotta7550]

You guys are a riot!

[@beautifulqueen748]

They had the short one at my sauna fitness center it was the 1st time I saw and used them but still I didn’t know if it was really good or not

[@FLSandye]

Oh gawd .... when Bob brought out the small vibrating foam roller .... Brad started to crack up .... I just about spit my teeth out lololol

[@loriharper3461]

FLSandye 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@tugboat2]

I am a new subscriber....have you ever addressed the effects of strength training on arthritic joints? I have arthritis in my lower neck and need advice on how to proceed with strength training (appropriate weight, any machines to steer AWAY from?)

[@melsterifficmama1808]

I don't recall them specifically discussing arthritis and strength training, but search for "Bob and Brad neck" for lots of therapeutic videos on self treatments.

[@melsterifficmama1808]

Also videos about the shoulders and posture might help. There are also videos about pressure points. They are bound to have something for you. 😀

[@tugboat2]

Melsteriffic Mama Thanks, I appreciate that!

[@barbarabaier6842]

Is it necessary to apply a lot of pressure with either type or roller?

[@Nan-59]

So does this roller or does it not work for your lower back!? My hips AND lower back are terribly PAINFUL 😖

[@sandraharrill4876]

Hey...what about IT band??? It’s the one I need to see.

[@carlostrujillosoundsarts6108]

Any thoughts on Jon Sarnos work... now that you said...psychological tension....

[@Nan-59]

Ummmm, That’s the same place my hips have always hurt! I have since had two hip replacements plus the first one revised.

[@jessicadodds562]

You guys are hilarious! Great content 🙂

[@dinorocks4887]

can you link the articles you reference in the description?

[@Dobroz99]

Is it possible to use a roller on your shoulders??

[@bsmith9326]

Love my foam roller even though it's not a vibrator one

[@claudio00444]

i did it.Let it be i got a disc prolapse pain pain

[@mchaez8768]

Thanks for sharing your expertise. I have a quick question. You mentioned with the vibrating foam roller that you will never go low back and my question is why? Because the lower back is where I need to foam roll.

[@jamiearnold1711]

The lumbar spine doesn't have as much support as the thoracic and mid back (muscles and ribs). However, you can target the QL (lower back) by rolling laterally, but not off the pelvis! You can also target the lower back with a tennis ball. DO NOT roll on the spine or pelvis, just the muscles.

[@kirstymacfarlane1620]

Brad's mind is in the gutter 😂😂😂 could you please do a video on how to improve loss of lordosis in your lumbar spine? Thanks xx

[@laquan3661]

*Bob says something Brad: sure😑 lol

[@mickeyradz5085]

A man of few words haha

[@cintie45]

The best to goofy chiropractors on the internet lol I love you guys you guys are always covering exactly what I need to know

[@marianl3447]

i think they are physical therapists ..not chiropractors...that's ok tho...i feel the same way ..we all love them.

[@justins7711]

Bob has been rolling in the beer foam before filming this one! 😂 Great vid guys!

[@thermodynamics01]

LMAOROTF. You guys are great!

[@JaxStar5]

Omg, I have learned and laughed 😁😁😁😁

[@dennistyler8746]

I use the large roller on my quads and hamstrings daily usually less than 5 minutes...

[@anee57]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I’ guess one of those people who’s mind wanders 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@shellymariscal1410]

Bahahaha you guys are the best! Thank you!

[@marshawoods4983]

My 53-year-old son is now watching you I turned him onto you guys he has the same back hip joint problems I do

[@choying38]

[@lifelovesme]

[@dragonrider9051]

I needed these laughs.

[@kraftbloop3664]

Great video 🤣🤣

[@soyjusthyn7850]

5:25 you guys are the best lol

[@beautifulqueen748]

I live in Florida

[@amysinger2201]

I have arthritis in my back and hip, so getting on the floor is difficult. How do you foam roll when you can't get on the floor easily? how can you work quads, hams, and calves in a chair?

[@kobaltkween]

I just got a massage roller thingie from Target that has handles. Sort of like an old fashioned rolling pin but with free rolling massage rings instead of a single cylinder. I actually used it on my legs as I watched the video. I don't know if it's as effective as letting my whole body rest on a roller, because that gives more pressure. But it definitely loosened my muscles some.

[@michelle7281]

Amy Singer you can try rolling vertically up against a wall.

[@Nan-59]

I feel you Amy! I’ve had two hip replacements plus one revision when the first one went to crap after 11 months. I’m finally starting to be able to move only because I’m using something totally different now for pain management. Thank. God! I’d been bedridden all winter I haven’t had a super good last two days, but I had a had a super super bad last eight months. I’m still going to have bad days. That’s just life with arthritis and fibromyalgia pain etc. Best to you!!

[@tiabiamama]

I took a hacksaw to my long roller so I could share it with my daughter.

[@victorialaur]

OMG! You made me laugh out loud!

[@KennaMcSnyder]

Nobody: Not even one person: Brad: Sure

[@cucaros69]

[@mdhgaming7680]

[@hallehconger823]

[@justb-nme]

I want one do badly, ive a broken back and nerve damage from my neck, to my feet. 53 and can barly walk😑 ..these guys are just great! Ive learnt so much watching them. I know alot of ppl with injuries, ive sent this lunk to so many, greatful people

[@justb-nme]

So*

[@hallehconger823]

@@justb-nme I have a rumble roller and its not for someone with delicate skin or a highly sensistive injured back. I would not use it on ur lower back. However, it feels great on my upper back , my legs and hips. If ur getting one, get the ball with it. It has knobs and spikes for deeper fascia release...

[@thirdeye9106]

Csn i use pool noodles?

[@marianl3447]

[@diannestansberry]

@ Bob and Brad why would KZbin take this video down? It’s educational and therapeutic right? This would have been really helpful for me if played out ...geese 😒

[@cathylynn57]

Why wouldn't you roll lower back?

[@iamsusiecarmichael6650]

Because you don’t have a rib cage to protect the spine it’s way too much pressure
