I was getting help from a pt for this type of pain. My sessions ended and we just could not relieve my persistent pain. Fast forward and I accidentally discovered that wearing a backpack is super therapeutic for ME. Once I realized this, I began wearing a pack with a 5 lb bag of dog food in it and wearing it around the house a couple days a week. Amazing!! I hope it will help some of you too. Now course work thru the exercises Bob and Brad are sharing. They are so sweet!
I love you guys. You saved my life. I have whole body pain, which has pretty much kept me stuck in bed. My life is useless, and that's not whining, it the God's honest truth. I cannot do anything because of searing, crippling pain from my knees to my neck. When a new problem began because of a muscle surrounding my artifical hip, that was it for me. I was done. The small amount of time I had previously spent "trying" to move around had been robbed from me. Once it started, I couldn't even be up long enough to use the bathroom without screaming out in pain. Even laying down didn't stop these excruciatingly painful spasms in my periformis muscle. I couldn't find a position that would ease the pain. I even went to the emergency room by ambulance because I couldn't sit it a car, and they couldn't (WOULDNT) do anything to alleviate my agony. Then, I watched one of your videos. I layed on my bed bent one knee and brought the ankle of my other foot up to that knee in crossed legged sitting style, then gently pushed the affected legs knee away from my torso, and the pain STOPPED! not slowly subsided, or lessened, it completely stopped! No pain!! So now I know what to do when the spasms begin, and they never get bad. Not only that, since I started to do it routinely, the spasms hardly ever happen unless I push it and do to much! I can honestly say that without you two, I would not be here. I did not want to think about life with that level of pain, and I was considering methods to end it. I cannot thank you enough. Just are just no words...
It is near to incredible. I firstly tried massaging the knot area with the tennis ball for a couple of days, but the knot came back as soon as I got back to the (ab)normal standing position. This morning I thought I should look for some more advice and the "#1" grabbed my attention. I normally do not bite such title, but I like this channel and said to myself to give it a try. The result was so astonishing that I waited for a couple of hours to post this comment. As soon as I finished a few minutes "W exercise", I felt a tremedeous release on my upper back. It cannot be possible, I thought, it will come back. Well, it didn't, not yet at least. And I performed some in-house chores that would most probably trigger the pain. Nothing! Thanks Guys 🙏
I really appreciate what you're guys are doing. I'm finally getting knots under control that have been causing pain for over 5 years. Occasionally, pain so bad that has even made me feel like I want to rip my own head off just for the relief. I could've been more diligent in correcting my issues. Wouldn't have taken me this long if I weren't so dang stubborn. Please, never stop!
I had knots so hard they pinched a nerve so tight my right shoulder was going numb down to my hands, took a lot of work to stop flaring up. No chiropractor, no PT, just a few amazing RUclips. Every day is maintenance, especially if you aren't building muscle. May God bless us all
I’ve been a massage therapist for 15 years. I learned so much from you guys. Thank you for making it so much fun. You made me laugh so hard. Thank you and I use what you say into my practice
You literally saved my sanity. The pains in my chest area scare me so bad! A couple of years ago I was constantly having migraines that caused me to throw up, unable to sleep, constantly dizzy and in pain…I really thought something bad was wrong with me. I started using your tennis ball technique and I have not had a migraine since! However over the last year I’ve been driving a lot for work and when I’m not driving I’m in poor posture over the computer. Anyway, I was realizing the pains in my chest that caused me to panic would start to go away when I brought out the tennis ball and my other items I use to get the “knots.” Confirming that these pains could possibly be Bc of poor posture is making me feel 100% less scared. Thanks x a million!
What did you all do to make it go away? I am in same battle as you are/were, it’s like I am reading my experience. Does it go away on its one somehow? Did you do some surgery? I would literally do anything to get rid of this. All day dizziness, headaches, pain in neck and upper back, all kind of s**t…
I am beyond words how thankful i am. I had severe neck and left upper back since two days. I am typing while doing it.. This ball exercise is magical. Immediate results. I cant thank enough. Guys highly recommended. God bless. Thank you so much. Love from India
Thank you all so much who are involved in these videos. Your kindness in helping people to feel better is just amazing. This past year has been hellacious for my body. I am going through your videos to help myself out. I haven't done anything yet but I had commend you all.
BEST videos on RUclips for professional and fun tips love this channel and at 6f6 and working at a computer all day these guys are life savers and so fun to watch.
I thought the #1 reason was because other PEOPLE just won't go away. I wake up each day fresh as a daisy, but by my 3rd interaction with some other human being I'm a tense, crippled up old man!!!
Sounds to me like you need to learn how to accept your brother as yourself ;) BTW, I’m still working on this one myself. 🤟 Let me know if you figure it out!
Lol I can relate.. I wake up in that blissful twilight sleep, like in and out, I give thanks to God that I'm alive, I ask God to direct me for that day, I feel good and then I remember that LIFE is still happening and BOOM I'm awake and I'm tense lol
I use the tennis ball. I’m cracking up because the sock! Omg. Greatest tip ever. My ball keeps dropping. The sock stops that and allows me to move it easier. (Insert head slap). Thanks guys!
@@AliGhahreman you should do the posture movements shown. Use the ball every day, but not for more than 5-10 minutes. And then ice your back for 10 minutes after
I'm so happy I watched this video! My massage therapist told me my back was like cement. My back and neck hurt all the time and has for many years. I just ordered the pod. I can't wait to get it!
this is great, i started a desk job a year ago, been in severe pain after six months of it. all because of bad posture. now i feel great again. many thanks. ps thought i was dying
Thank you so much Bob and Brad, I’m 32 years old and had a very painful mid-back solid lump for a whole year from what I thought was a result of an exercise injury. I couldn’t arrange a doctors visit and was feeling very worried and frustrated thinking this lump was something more serious. But I found your videos and learned that it was just a muscle knot and managed to massage it completely away in just over a week! Thank you for all that you do, I can live a normal pain free life again.
Thank you so much! I just now learned that my problems with my back are related to poor posture. I tried your tennis ball method and my pain is gone! I am going to bring my tennis ball (in the sock) to work, so I can work on these exercises at lunchtime.
This is incredible I have some pretty intense knot build up and its just been getting worse and I remeber when I was kid my clairinet teacher used to yell at me for. Poor posture so this video really will be helpful I’m going to buy tennis balls I have fibromyalgia and the pain some days is unreal so I def am grateful I came across this!
This helped me a lot Bob and Brad. I got this shoulder pain when in this pandemic. It might be a poor posture. I have been doing the adjustment with table and chair. Started working in standing desk. Nothing helped me. As soon as i use a ball and started putting pressure standing on a wall it helps so fast. Even i asked my kids to massage me with the ball putting pressure on that knot and it works like a Charm. Thank you for helping so many people.
Ever since we started working from home, I have been having knots on my right shoulder due to bad posture ( I sat on the floor when I work on my laptop). Your video saved me. My issues were resolved in literally 1 day. ❤️ love you both and take care ❤️
As someone who's only 36 with degeneration in my cervial spine, I hope this helps. I'm doing exercises/stretches to strengthen my back muscles and to help reengage muscles that have had their work displaced to other muscle groups.
I'm on a similar journey. So far I've been making changes to my regular work flow like getting a stand to raise my laptop to eye level. It might be worth a shot for you.
Outstanding! Currently having a bout with this as I type! Haven’t felt my fingers in 5 days!! Tingling and extremely painful 😖 spasms NO JOKE THIS WORKS AND CAN FEEL THE CIRCULATION COMING BACK! wow 😢 it’s been a rough couple of week and this was magical! Thanks 🙏🏾 for taking the time to share!
A friend sent me your video. I have suffered with a spasm under my right shoulder blade for over a week. Horrible! I’m fixing to find my ball!! Thank you, fellows! You are fun to watch.
For massage balls that have some softness yet retain their shape very well, better than a tennis ball or other rubber balls, I highly recommend yoga tune up balls from Jill Miller. They are available on Amazon or on the yoga tune-up website. There are three different sizes and they are sold in pairs. The pair comes in a mesh tote which allows you to use the balls together for certain purposes, such as rolling on either side of your spine. They do get softer over time, and you may want to replace them after they get soft. But you can always keep each pair of balls on hand and use them for different areas of the body that are more or less tender. I recommend starting with a smallest size as that seems to be most versatile for most people.
I combined that retract head/arms up movement, with nose -> mouth breathing I've been working on. I popped down into my hips doing that! not even using the wall. Bless ya'll
imo good advice. had painful knots in my nect for a long time. working on my posture while sitting, reading, and being on my phone helped. dont hang your head down; lift the book up to hold your head straight.
Good morning Bob and Brad Brad starting in doing the W exercise. I remember that because I've included that exercise thanks to Bob & Brad. Lol Thanks guys👍 Be Safe Everyone🌎😷
Also if you want to correct your posture , make sure to avoid super soft mattress or probably start sleeping on floor for some time . For more help also avoid using pillow below your head while sleeping . Try . It will help
Really NEW ZEALAND!!!!! I wish you mentioned his name, Im live in NZ and have these issues all the time, I’d love to be able to get treatment from him... Im in Rotorua
I have been doing the ball and wall and have a lot of relief altho still in a bit of pain. And I noticed my posture while walking today and thought I think it may have to do with my neck and shoulder pain. Thanks.
I can't believe how many followers you have now!! I found you (by necessity 😖) so long ago & I hadn't really noticed/paid attn until today and holy cow!! 😃👍🏼 Much deserved. Thx so much for doing what you do, you guys help SO MUCH 😊
I also have the same issue with dizziness and masaging the knots on a daily basis definately helps! May I ask were you in any car accident in the past?
@@Dime0001 no accident, just sit at a desk for long period. Traps and the back of my neck get really tight. I go to PT and chiropractor, seems to help... who knew knots could cause that wooziness feeling.
@@vette-4-life Depending on the knots' locations it could put pressure on one of the neck's disks and in turn push some nerves causing different types of symptoms including dizziness in my case as well!
How long should you do those exercise or how many repeats of the wall/floor angel should you do. I also have bad knots in my upper back. Thanks for the tutorial guys from Ireland.
Thank-you for consistent focus on posture. My hubby has a short term memory, learning difficulties, and terrible posture!! Your support is amazing. He’s fed up of me pestering him about it, and I’m just a bit frazzled repeating myself so often too. 😗. Because you return to the subject regularly, often saying similar things but in a different way, he’s attentive in your sessions and enjoys the exercises. For myself I appreciate your explanations of the mechanics of posture; the extra insight into the issues. We follow quite a boring daily routine of rehab for my hubby and your sessions are educational for me. They bring a bit of variety to each day and help me feel supported. I hope you both have all the luck, love and laughter that you deserve. 🤗🤗
I used the toy balls I purchased from the children section. Those balls that says for 4+ and they have different roughness/ridges as it's for learning..but i already broke open one of these by lying on it on the floor.. I have other tools I bought from Daiso.. those that says body cassa, head cassa, but I'm using the one that says acu therapy (blunted point). It substitutes my fingers as my knots are too hard and my hand couldn't bear very long..
You two are psychics I swear! I needed the rotator cuff and this video...I have a kink directly an inch to the left of my right shoulder blade that bugs me all day sitting at my desk😣. Wonder if my computer screen is too high,? Well thanks again for riveting topics! Truly...
This works miracles finally got my knots. Massage from my partner dont usually work but this hits the spot. Today o cant sleep and Im having a headache and have a very painful neck muscle this worked instantly.
I find stretching the antagonist group (pectorals) and strengthening rhomboids/cervical extensors has helped my clients a ton. A lot of times the “knots” in this area feel like a chronic buildup of scar tissue from being stretched with all the things we do with arms in front of us (protracted scapula)
@@Justify4935 You can do a passive stretch for the pecs by lying on your back, feet pressed to the floor and taking a wide grip on a broom stick, then bring it gently overhead just enough to feel a stretch but it shouldn't be an *owe! stretch. Gentle. Then follow that with simple exercises to strengthen the rotator cuff!!
@@AshleeUnfiltered A great stretch for the pecs is a doorway stretch- hold your arm in a cactus position (your elbow to the side in line with your shoulder and your wrist directly over your elbow). Place your forearm along a solid surface, such as a doorway or a pole and lean forward gently until you feel a light stretch in the chest. Afterwards, lay down on your back and try completing 'chin tucks.' Most of us need rhomboid strengthening, but cervical FLEXOR strengthening, not cervical extensors.
Yikes, this hurts at first,but yes, it does relieve the knots!! Thanks guys!! I hope I won't be too sore later. Can't do the wall angel or W, my shoulders hurt too much 😢
My workman comp got denied and been waiting for physical therapy for months......don't even know what's wrong....but feel like a strain or knot clustered in scar tissue and nerves behind my low shoulder blade... gets excruciating and spread to neck and high shoulders....in also constantly adjusting like a nervous distress tick. until it pops or I get relief....but from where I was 2-3 months ago.... .these guys stretches every morning has really helped... just hope this last pesky shoulder impingement improves😢
You guys are the most popular "physical therapists" on the internet and I'm the most popular figure in all of space! Space is the place, sky is the limit, nothing stops the Macho Man Randy Savage! Keep it up Bob & Brad! Oooooooooooooooooooooooh Yeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaahhh! Dig It!
Does this work for knots on the upper trap middle at the neck right next to the cervical part of the spine or deep under the shoulder blades? I've tried the deep tissue rollers, spikey mats, massage gun, neck hammock. They rarely go away.

@@vette-4-life Depending on the knots' locations it could put pressure on one of the neck's disks and in turn push some nerves causing different types of symptoms including dizziness in my case as well!
@@Dime0001 proper stretching and getting those knots out has been key. Chin tucks, shoulder shrugs, chin to chest, etc has helped a lot.
How long should you do those exercise or how many repeats of the wall/floor angel should you do. I also have bad knots in my upper back. Thanks for the tutorial guys from Ireland.
Thank-you for consistent focus on posture. My hubby has a short term memory, learning difficulties, and terrible posture!! Your support is amazing. He’s fed up of me pestering him about it, and I’m just a bit frazzled repeating myself so often too. 😗.
Because you return to the subject regularly, often saying similar things but in a different way, he’s attentive in your sessions and enjoys the exercises.
For myself I appreciate your explanations of the mechanics of posture; the extra insight into the issues. We follow quite a boring daily routine of rehab for my hubby and your sessions are educational for me. They bring a bit of variety to each day and help me feel supported.
I hope you both have all the luck, love and laughter that you deserve. 🤗🤗
I used the toy balls I purchased from the children section. Those balls that says for 4+ and they have different roughness/ridges as it's for learning..but i already broke open one of these by lying on it on the floor.. I have other tools I bought from Daiso.. those that says body cassa, head cassa, but I'm using the one that says acu therapy (blunted point). It substitutes my fingers as my knots are too hard and my hand couldn't bear very long..
You two are psychics I swear! I needed the rotator cuff and this video...I have a kink directly an inch to the left of my right shoulder blade that bugs me all day sitting at my desk😣. Wonder if my computer screen is too high,? Well thanks again for riveting topics! Truly...
This works miracles finally got my knots. Massage from my partner dont usually work but this hits the spot. Today o cant sleep and Im having a headache and have a very painful neck muscle this worked instantly.
Y'all are out here doing great great work for humanity, thank you so much!
Love your channel. Have frequent tightness in this area so am glad to see these stretches.
Looking forward to trying this, woke up with terrible trap knots.
I’m so glad this popped up on my feed!
Your timing is right on. I'm a golfer and my left side shoulder/neck area pain has been killing my game. Really need your heating pad giveaway!
I love all your videos! And your genuine friendship is so nice to see 😊
I find stretching the antagonist group (pectorals) and strengthening rhomboids/cervical extensors has helped my clients a ton. A lot of times the “knots” in this area feel like a chronic buildup of scar tissue from being stretched with all the things we do with arms in front of us (protracted scapula)
What ways of pectoral stretching do you recommend and what exercises do you suggest for strengthening the rhomboid/cervical extensors?
I wish I could do correct pec stretching. My shoulder will pop out of socket doing that. lol
@@Justify4935 You can do a passive stretch for the pecs by lying on your back, feet pressed to the floor and taking a wide grip on a broom stick, then bring it gently overhead just enough to feel a stretch but it shouldn't be an *owe! stretch. Gentle. Then follow that with simple exercises to strengthen the rotator cuff!!
@@AshleeUnfiltered A great stretch for the pecs is a doorway stretch- hold your arm in a cactus position (your elbow to the side in line with your shoulder and your wrist directly over your elbow). Place your forearm along a solid surface, such as a doorway or a pole and lean forward gently until you feel a light stretch in the chest. Afterwards, lay down on your back and try completing 'chin tucks.' Most of us need rhomboid strengthening, but cervical FLEXOR strengthening, not cervical extensors.
@@therealfitshorty but strengthen the rotator cuff will help with stretched tendons etc that allow my shoulder to pop out in first place?
“I’m just happy to be alive Bob” 💜
If I ever met these guys, it would be a highlight in my life...
What is the name of the device you show called that you can use instead of the tennis ball?
Yikes, this hurts at first,but yes, it does relieve the knots!! Thanks guys!! I hope I won't be too sore later. Can't do the wall angel or W, my shoulders hurt too much 😢
Thank you guys for the great information you bring in a very humorous way sometimes. Love it.
Thank you a thousand times. You are both angels.
THANK YOU! Greetings from Macedonia (via Sweden)!
My workman comp got denied and been waiting for physical therapy for months......don't even know what's wrong....but feel like a strain or knot clustered in scar tissue and nerves behind my low shoulder blade...
gets excruciating and spread to neck and high shoulders....in also constantly adjusting like a nervous distress tick.
until it pops or I get relief....but from where I was 2-3 months ago....
.these guys stretches every morning has really helped...
just hope this last pesky shoulder impingement improves😢
I love you guys!!! You have such great tips and content and humor!!! I learn so much, thank you!!
Thank you!!

Between Covid Stress and not being able to do my senior WaterAerobic class.
Going back to PT for a few visits.
thanks for all of your help!
Thanks guys! Good info and good laughs ❤
You two are so funny, you always make me smile 😃
How long and how many times should I do this per day?
You guys are the most popular "physical therapists" on the internet and I'm the most popular figure in all of space! Space is the place, sky is the limit, nothing stops the Macho Man Randy Savage! Keep it up Bob & Brad! Oooooooooooooooooooooooh Yeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaahhh! Dig It!
And when the ball in the sock falls to the floor, the dog snatches her new prize away.
Should the ball be placed right in the middle of your spine touching it or just to the side?
Thank y'all for this and just in general 🖤🖤🖤
Me sitting crouching in bed confused why I have back pain lmao
Thank you. Will try this. All those areas is were I get a lot of pain.
Thank you so much! I truly needed this information.
Y'all are awesome. Thank you for this.
Would this postural pain not be caused by tightness in the chest and weakness in the back / imbalance ?
Does this work for knots on the upper trap middle at the neck right next to the cervical part of the spine or deep under the shoulder blades? I've tried the deep tissue rollers, spikey mats, massage gun, neck hammock. They rarely go away.
