You can check that off your bucket list ;)
My back pain comes from my temporary job at work which requires me to be on my feet for many hours on my shift. I just purchased a back brace and it was instant relief. On my days off my back pain fades away over the two days and returns when I got back to work. I will be so glad when I go back to my regular job in 2 1/2 months.
I sit for 6 and sometimes 12 hours shifts on a motorcycle and that makes my back hurt, exercising my lower back helps a lot but I still considered buying the back braces for those long days at work where it's detrimental for me to keep my job.
I have job where I'm standing literally 11 hrs. Not moving around a whole lot either. I've gained weight in the last eight months and I've noticed a lot of lower back pain. I'm hoping getting a brace will instantly help me like it did you. What's the name of the back brace you bought?
Great just the comment I needed to read, i'm in the same boat, so know I will try a back brace. Thank you.
i have a lot of lower back pain and i find just using a regular pants belt tightened up a notch helps support my back, i can definitely feel the difference.
The only thing that has helped my back pain is a back brace. I’ll be damned if this guy tells me not to. Most people complain about their back and use marijuana (which is fine) but Popping pills and relying on substances to take the pain away is far worse
I am a mover and the days I wear my brace minimum back issues, without my brace pain shoots to my lower back
Im looking looking in to whats best can you recommend a brace ? I have lover back pain from lifting and outdoors manual labour etc. Thanks

Hi I have discogenic disease in my L5 and L4 disc I'm thinking of get a back brace I would just wear when I'm doing physical activities
😂😂😂
@@staceyparker5482 By all means Stacey get one. Just do research posted by physical therapist on which brands are more trustworthy.
As a condition of employment we were made to wear the cinch type brace. I had worked in Nursing Homes for over 15 years with not one incident of back trouble. After being forced to wear the brace at a new facility, my back lost most of the strength I had. Have had back trouble ever since.
Wear it lose so u don't get the support and ur back won't get dependent. Hope u can get ur strength back 🙏
Can you guys do a video on Brad's workout? I - and I'm sure lots of other people - would like to know what kind of a workout is ok for someone with Spondylolysis or Soindylolisthesis. Many of us think we can't do anything more than cycling/swimming/walking and it's very restrictive! I can feel myself getting flabby!
Thanks for sharing such a great video with us and for your wonderful comments👍
VTAPE newly designed a lumbar decompression belt, welcome to my homepage to learn about it.
You'll learn how it can help relieve back pain and help with all back problems.
😂😂 Who the hell wrote that intro? Charlie Sheen? Ahaha
Winning!
I believe it was James Horner.
I know...it's the absolute worst. I write jingles for commercials on the side and this one is truly crindgeworthy.
I'm trying to keep a more active lifestyle to keep my weight down but I have a herniated disc in my L4/L5. I ride my bike a lot but sometimes I do get spurts of pain if I don't keep my core locked. Is it okay for me to use a back brace just during that period of time? It really helps when I'm sitting at my computer desk to keep me from rolling my back forward.
I have the same.
I was using a brace for awhile years back, but stopped. Felt like lack of blood flow.
Have a good diet, keep away from cigs and alcohol, no heavy lifting, water therapy(swimmin pool), yoga. I made a rail that measures up to my lumbar and I usually stretch backwards on it. Also electric therapy works well to relieve muscle strains/tension.
But yea for me the brace is limited to what youre doing, others might work 24/7. Wish you well.
I don't have very little back pain, but I have chronic pain. It's neuropathic shooting pains in my arms and legs. I've recently found a back brace helps me with driving as the constant focus along with long periods of sitting can place a huge strain on my body.
7:30 omg brad why?! Family show! 😂😜😁
You two are solving all my problems and I've only been watching for a month. This is brilliant. I have a back brace I never wear but I've been thinking of doing so again as I'm trying to become more active. I have degenerative disk disease L5 to S1. I have been doing brisk walking 20 minutes a day and my lower back has started to hurt. Will a brace help or is something else going on?
Try swimming, and stretching and religiously go for a walk every day. Push yourself hard so you are improving the time it takes to do a set course. Also take note of your breathing as you are trying to increase speed. As time goes by, you will increase in speed and your cardiovascular fitness gets better. Keep a daily log of your time and weight.
Then 3 weeks down the track, look over your log, and think about why you began in the first place? To help your back out right?
You will then say where is the back pain? It will be gone, and you didn't even notice it leaving you!
There’s no such thing as degenerative disc desease, read “Back mechanics” by Dr McGill is really helping me out
Doing dumb stuff in my 20s n 30s caught up to me in my 40s. No more soft beds lol. These guys rock!!!
I’m 31 been doing hard labor since 14 my back and knees are feeling it
I'm 20 and I experienced Lower Back pain when I was 13 y/o. I don't know how I did get back pain.
I was hoping you would include posture correcting brace for prolonged sitting.
Just slightly arch your back, sit up straight, have legs out at 90°. Relax shoulders.
I tell people my back pain is related to sitting all of the time and they don't understand what I'm saying so thank you For reinforcing that. People's entire concept of back pain is lifting and that's false
I bought my back brace from FitnessMotive.ca it works great
Don't use a brace for work, but for weight lifting. 😐
Don't use it, to I have one. 🤚🏿
Misinformation. Smh
Never been so confused.
Use only when lifting
I just slipped my s1 and l5 disc and I'll be back to work in 9 days in total I will have had 12-13 days to recover. Would a good back brace be smart for my first month back ? I'm a pool service tech 5 days a week I take care of about 100 pool. The stuff I'm worried about is loading my truck in the morning with cases of my chemicals which usually are 4 gallons per case along with other chemicals that range between 10-30 pounds, then I also have to bend over at every pool to test the chemicals, and then I have to use a net to clean the pool. With those activities and the injury I have will it be a smart decision to wear a brace for a few weeks ?
who else smashed the like button for the intro alone ?
🙋🏽♀️ 😂
You two inspire me to go back to school sometimes. Also appreciate that I don’t have to go through all the trouble to go the doctor to learn to heal from y’all. Thank you 🙏🏾 for what you do.
Happy to help 😄
Would you recommend this for cashiers? I’m 6’1 and I strained my lower back muscle from leaning over the register and having terrible posture when sitting at the computer for college.
It's been a year. You may never get an answer 😑
I developed all kinds of issues cashiering. All are from contorting in repeatitive positions hundreds upon hundreds of times a day. The worst is how some stores hang their bags low or off centre. One cannot process efficiency unless they are under 5'3ish.
@@klee9016 that’s okay 😂 I now work as a receptionist with an extra tall desk and chair that I DONT have to lean over. I worked at Dollar Tree to the registers were crazy short.
Have you guys done an episode on pushing a stroller or wheelchair?
I push 8 wheelchairs around every day at school. I have sore wrists, and back if I do something wrong. I'd love to know how to push these properly. Because I have all different height chairs, varied weights, from a 20kg person to an 80kg person. I'd love to know how to best push without hurting myself please.
32 years old and alot of lower back pain, can't get the VA to diagnose me with anything, I can't do anything longer then 15 minutes 20 minutes before my back is killing me. Your saying to not use a back brace, then what can I do?

thing.?
At work i move heavy tires. I’m in pain for days at periods of times. I’m looking for what belt would be good for me. Would a thick leather lifting belt be a good choice?
No, definitely a stretchy fabric would work better. Theres a solid $20 one on Amazon. Lmk if you need link. Has 6k reviews. 4 star average.
@@iiNextify hope you're keeping well.
Could you please send a link.
Thanking you ahead..
@@iiNextify thanks very much... Much appreciated
I wish they would have gone into back strain a little bit more. Wouldn't it help a back strain by keeping your back immobile while you're doing different tasks and prevent it from getting aggravated and promote healing?
I checked your store. There are no Bob and Brad T-Shirts. How do I get one?
Love the into guys!
Sorry for having to leave cuz the ads tossed up to me take too long.
That last one where people lift things wrong with a loose strap that tightens to remind them seems like an excellent idea. Great video as I've contemplated whether those pull-your-shoulders-back strap things are worth wearing while at my desk job.
My left hand side of my lower back has a lot less muscle than my right. I’ve been recommended to do loads of swimming, so will this help to or not?
Such a lovely video. Greetings from Algeria :-)
Although it's not quite the same thing... what is the opinion of Hempvana "arrow posture"? All the videos here seem to be "sponsored" to sell them so you know they're biased.
The 2 muscles, one behind each love handle flare up and burn when I'm trying to pack, while I'm washing dishes, etc. It's quite painful! As soon as I stand up or sit up straight everything is OK. I'm guessing I might need something like the first back brace shown in this video when I'm doing those tasks, but only then. Btw, I'm 76 and not terribly active in that my condition prevents a lot of activity. Your thoughts?
Simple yes or no question.
Bob and Brad are physical therapists known for their online presence.
They discuss the topic of wearing back braces for back pain.
They provide five rules to follow when considering the use of a back brace.
Back braces are not necessary for everyday muscle strain.
They advise against using back braces preventatively.
Back braces should only be used for specific stressful tasks.
Long-term use of back braces should be avoided, and individuals should aim to wean off them.
Back braces may be helpful for certain conditions such as spondylolisthesis, osteoarthritis, degenerative disc disease, or compression fractures.
They demonstrate different types of back braces and explain their features.
Bob and Brad inject humor and engage in banter throughout the video.
I've been specialising in fixing back pain for over 30 years and I disagree guys. The typical muscle strain comes on towards the end of a day because the already tight muscles become fatigued through less than good circulation and putting a brace on as the pain starts to come on, is a very good way to not make the tightness/ fatigue worse. It's a case of listening to your body and when it says the muscles are starting to fail the back brace is a great help when you have to keep going. As far as using a brace to help with support during heavy load periods (preventative) that's also a great idea as an already tight back is weaker, so the extra support helps ensure the problem doesn't make your back worse. Again it's about protecting an already existing tightness when you have to do a heavy job the support is great. I agree though that the brace should also be used short term during difficult times and ultimately you are better to fix the cause of the poor circulation/ tightness which is usually a problem with the way your spine and pelvis is carrying the load of your body and gravity i.e. your posture is wrong due to muscle imbalances.
Well, that brace did look very sexy.
So, want to avoid pain from mowing lawns? Get rid of your lawn! Keep enough for the dog or to play catch; but otherwise, give the land back to the wildlife. Plant NATIVE (to your area) trees, shrubs, and flowers. Plant native grasses, not bluegrass! Save our native bees.
End made me laugh! Brad is a family show!!
I deliver for a supermarket and move over a tone a day. I feel pain after a stressful day of heavy lifting. What would you recommend
I'm starting in construction. What do you all recommend for prevention or long term?
Can I wear it for 2-4 hours for my package handler job?
I have a mild degenerative disk disease thoracic spine , some curvature of the thoracic spine convex toward the right . I've been trying to do some research to help my posture and straighten my spine . Some say a waist trainer will help with both . Just trying to find something that will support me doing yoga or walking . Pls and ty
I have several back issues, and sitting for any length of time is painful. I try not to sit too long, but in planes or cars, where I don't have much of a choice, I started using a brace like the first one Brad is wearing and it allows me to go much longer without pain.
I came here to ask exactly that. I have a bulging disc and right now I can not sit down for too long. I have a trip in a few weeks and will be taking a plane and lots of buses that will require me to be sitting down for 2-3 hours. Do you recommend getting a brace? I'm seeing my orthopaedic doctor tomorrow and I'll ask her about that. I guess a brace is better than carrying a pillow around.
@@Sylphadora is recommend a brace despite Bob and brads opinion. In the short term it will defo help
@@Sylphadora ,Hi
@@Sylphadora I have same issue. I can't sit down long time. I'm working in a office. Does brace will reduce your pain????
👍
I work in a factory lifting, twisting etc. for 10-12 hours a day. If I didnt wear a back brace I would NEVER be able to do this job for as long as I have to at work. Only at work do I wear it and not at any other time. Any comments from you guys would be highly appreciated.
Same issue what should we do

Hello from the philippine physical therapist
How about ones with heatpads are they good?
Hello Bob and Brad. I get lower back pain now and again. Do you reccommend wearing belt for lifting weights like bench press and sumo squats? thanks
you say don't wear one all the time but my job is literally 10+ hours a day moving packages sometimes over 50 lbs. Would it be bad to try one for a couple days at work and see if it helps? A year ago I got into a car accident and fractured my L5 vertibre. Anyways it causes pain by the end of the night every night.
What about picking up grandbaby. I’m having pain in upper back below shoulders but above bra band. What about an brace for this and what type?
would love a video about supporting back when you go to your kid's sport events where you are either having sit in bleachers or portable chairs for 3-6 hours at a time. (i.e., what are the best portable chairs to buy or best portable bleacher supports to buy). Thanks.
Where do you purchase these braces and what are their names? Thanks
How about wearing a back brace (like the one with suspenders) when working at a desks. I find that when I’m at my desk doing work/ at my laptop I find myself starting to hunch over, I try to sit straight but sometimes forget when I’m really getting into my work. Would wearing one in short bursts be better?
I feel like my back is getting tired real fast. I’m only 18 years old but when i drive 30 minutes on my motorcycle it feels like i was riding it for 2 hours. Will a back brace help me fix this?
4:05 "Visible"
I wonder if their patients are on the phone like "hi, yes, i want to make an appointment with *singing* Bob and Brad, the most famous, physical therapists, on the internet". 🤔
I'm confused .. you said not to use it as a preventative tool but then you went on to say it's good to use to do yard work and such. Wouldn't that be preventative? And, if it makes sense for a weight lifter to use it .. why isn't it good for ...generally lifting things? Like, particularly if you aren't very strong in the first place and lifting stuff would be a lot for you?
I am going to be doing PSW work. So, lifting and guiding a person with cerebral palsy. Does'nt it make sense to wear one in that case? ...Any input from anyone would be helpful. Thanks :)

Could I wear a back brace
Even if I have a lower back compression due to fracture in my vertebrae I was 5'10" and now I am 5'5" Due to my osteoporosis.
I'd give it a shot! Extra suppose is really good for a compression fracture. Helps mine!
I was told to wear mine for 2 hours if the pain still persist take off for hour and put it back on for another 2 hours
Sciatic nerve pain?
Then what do you do for back pain? Not helpful at all!
exactly, they just said "we wouldn't use for so and so" without giving any reasons behind it or what to do in those cases
I really think that people can wear this for the short-term for normal day-to-day, but long-term ppl should make their core strong and get a GREAT chair.
Man I loved the intro😂
Hi Brad and Bob! I do landscaping work and I've started to notice that when i trim bushes my left lower back hurts.. It hurts right on top of my left hammie. It's so painful i have to stop and rest because i can't walk after trimming like 15 bushes.. Would one of this help? 😭

Hello, I had back surgery 4 years ago on 2 thru 5.. now I'm find myself leaning forward alot the more I do the more I lean.. (i hate that) & I can't walk as far as I did right after surgery... should I wear back brace or what exercise should I do to build up my muscles? I love spending time with family.. i love fishing & gardening.... help please
Recently had a hip replaced. Used a walker for a bit. Not sure if that caused my posture issues, but I find myself bending forward at the waist.(not the usual slouching rounded shoulder posture problem). Trying to figure out how to correct this. Would a back brace help to remind me to stand straighter? What exercises would help so I stop this leaning forward while walking thing?!
I have Cerebral Palsy, and have muscle pain in my back constantly--I've had it for several years. (I found out my pain was muscular after x-rays). Should I wear a back brace for going out for a walk, and standing at work? My pain is usually a 7/10 when I get up in the morning, and does dwindle to about a 4/10 throughout the day. The worst it gets is lying down it can be a 9/10.
