I randomly pulled a muscle in my sleep while turning over like an injured turtle lol! Who hurts themselves while turning over to sleep?! Anyway thanks for sharing your wisdom!
Did you get better? I have sharp excruciating stabbing pains only when I move certain directions. Did you experience simular?

@@Swank1900me too. Let me know if anything hepled u
it really depends on age and physical activity, sometimes just exercising a rang of motion for a few secs will get those muscles oxygenated and nimble
I had worsening middle back pain for over three weeks after twisting my spine doing strenuous mechanical work. I thought I would need to consult an orthapedic surgeon. I tried your foam tube for about 20 minutes. Felt somewhat better immediately. Next day I felt even better. 2nd day after rolling on the foam I felt absolutely no back pain. Absolutely amazing!!!! You guys should be so proud of the wonderful impact you have on all the thankful people you will probably never meet.

I was changing my clothes and i bowed down to take off my pants, while I got stuck with sharp pain under my left scapula.
I got dressed with the help of my wife and moved to the bed too.
Then i also searched sudden pain in mid back and appeared to this video.
Just tried a towel roll with packing tape on the floor
Feeling half way batter (Alhamdulillah) God may bless you for your advice.
@Ū M4L1K packing tape
AH - back pain sucks
Bro same how long did the pain last for?
@@SteeleMMA
Dear Brother
As early i mentioned, rolling over a towel roll, i recovered almost halfway.
Then i got a pain killer with back massage with deepheat cream.
But most of the pain was relieved by physical therapy
As far the question how long...
I was totaly recovered in 24 hrs maximum
@@rashidminhaspk You are not giving god any credit for healing you?
After this video I finally slept after 7 days !!
I don't sleep for 2 days
I didn't sleep for 1 month, lol, jk
Any update?
@@aonoymousandy7467 nope still suffering pain
Lucky you...
Worked SO incredibly well! I was having intense spasms in my mid back area and I was using a tens unit to get me through the night until I could see my chiro the next day- but my daughter’s birthday party was the next day and I needed to be a great host for her and our friends and family and after a few prayers, I remembered these amazing guys and BOOM! Such a release in what felt like my sternum area and immediately flared down those spasms! Whoa! Literally instantaneous, miraculous relief! Glory be to God for sending these two amazing men to bless this earth with their knowledge and their generosity in sharing it! 🙌🏼 Thank you will never be enough!
I need this badly, I work standing up everyday and i pray for my spin because I’m hoping it’s nothing serious I have somewhat bad posture especially because I’m standing and typing all day. Please let me know if you any suggestions
So glad I searched "Thoracic back pain", and found this. 2 days ago, I strained a muscle in my Thoracic spine area. The muscle that runs parallel to our spine, on the left side. Its sooo swollen, and feels like a rock. I can't take deep breaths, and I HAVENT SLEPT IN 2 DAYS...2 WHOLE DAYS, because everytime my body wants to turn to its side, I am jolted awake with extreme pain. The spasms are THE WORST. I literally cannot breath when they happen. I now have numbness and that weird itching going on that our muscles do when they're pulled. What's worse is, now that I'm "favoring" my left arm (injury on left side), and trying so hard not to cause a spasm, now other parts of my back are beginning to hurt badly. I told myself, "Oh HELL NO, this ends here, look up healing exercises and stretches!" Wish me luck guys, as I'm so utterly exhausted, that I'm even having chest heaviness..because my poor heart is so tired, needs me to be in sleep mode.
Update...OMG, I woke up a new woman! I made the DIY Towel roll, and used it. It was painful at first, but not in a bad way, and not for very long. My spine popped in a few places with the most wonderful release! The "rock" that was there began to relax and after lay on it for 20 mins...I subsequently slept for 10 hours!!! And I woke up feeling great! I'm going to use it again now in hopes that I can avoid what I went through in the last 3 days...hellish pain. Thank you so much for this video, you have no idea what you've done for me!! ❤
@spirals 73 Your so very welcome, hun! Yeah, I experienced LIFE ROCKING PAIN for 3 days before I found this video, and tried it. The relief was so wonderful to feel, that I wanted to share my experience. I am still healing, and still utilize my "towel roll", and it hasn't failed me yet. My next step is to look on Amazon for a real one. I hope it works for you, and your able to dream your night away in a deep sleep!
This sounds exactly like what I'm going through and yeah, mine's mostly on the left side. Literally feels like a rock grew in my back and like you, I haven't been getting any sleep because of it. I hope this works as well for me as it did you. Ours is muscular but can you imagine what it must be like for someone with a bruised or broken rib?
Im reading watching tgis vid and reading ur comment at 3am as i have exactly the same issue and i can not sleep. This pain came out of nowhere and im bow desperate for a solution. Im gonna try this in the hopes that itvworks cos if it doesnt ive no idea what im gonna do! Wish me luck!
@@FarhanAli-id2lp Allah may Bless you Complete Wellness
Thank you for posting this. It’s 5 am the day after injury after hardly any sleep. Your comment and results gives great psychological help and gives me the hope that I can get through this quickly.
Honestly thanks
I’m 20 and I do a lot of gaming this is helping me a lot I’ve randomly started feeling pain and this has helped me a lot
Bob & Brad,
After rapid weight loss I'm experiencing a LOT of mid-back muscle fatigue pain. Can you talk about the specific muscles I should be targeting at the gym to replace the support that used to come from fat around the spine?
good video and description. It's so important for people to stretch and foam roll. It's very easy to forget that our bodies, slowly over time and also depending on what job we have are put through a lot and need to be taken care of. Then on top of that if we work out we put it through more stress. Stretching and foam rolling are highly needed especially the older we get.
I'm a stem major and I don't have a car, so I have to walk 4km just in my commute everyday with a heavy backpack full of books. It's no mystery where my pain is coming from lol but I have to thank you guys so much! These exercises and stretches have helped me tremendously ^^
Excellent. I will try this method.
Omg THANK YOU...I seriously want to shout that from the rooftops !! THANK YOU 🙏
I'm in my mid 30's and I've been experiencing alot of mid back pain lately due to sitting at a computer. Just stumbled upon your videos today and only 3 videos later and performing your exercises, I'm already getting so much relief! I'm subscribing for sure! Thanks so much!
Ame problem and same age..what is your Facebook Id so I can share problem with you..??
I am so glad you did this video, I sorted my middle back pain by doing the roll in the centre of the back with my knees up (used a rolled up pair of jeans on a hard wood floor. It is a relief and my back feels good as new a week later. Thank you.
Watching this after 7years and I most say thank you doctors, have been having this pain for months now, accusing ulcer and cold but after taken ulcer drugs and taken cold injections for 1 week.. Still feel it... This exercise helped, will be doing it everyday now
Worked for me! Mid back catch on the left side. Significant relief from the first time I tried it
I've been having thoracic spine pain for quite some time now. I fine that cracking my bad helps to relieve it for a little. But I think I've gotten addicted to cracking my back, just wondering if cracking my back very often will make it worst?
Yes, it can make it worse. Try to limit to once a day or even less. Otherwise your back will start cracking all the time and might start getting pain from that at one point.
I strained my back at the gym doing squats- could barely breath hurt so bad. After watching these guys and rolling the sh!t out of my back like they suggested (almost to the point of passing out from the pain) my back was as good as new the next day. No joke my muscle strain was so bad I thought I was gonna be hurt for 2 weeks, and I was back at the gym in 1 day. These guys are the best. Beyond that if you get prescribed physical therapy, save yourself the copay and just look these guys up, and do what they tell you. Never need any complicated expensive equipment.
This is exactly what happened to me, I hurt my back squatting yesterday. I am very glad to see this comment.
@@user-hp6pj4sy3k how are you feeling now?
@@stax5290 I actually felt better after about 3 days, I didn't even end up rolling out my back.
Lucky you when your worst fear is having pain for 2 weeks. Try knowing you've got that pain for the rest of your life!
Was this your mid back cause if I run it hurts got it by pulling and pushing a heavy old door
Are there any specific exercises to strengthen or modulate tone for thoracic pain if this only provides short term relief for a chronic issue?
Im a truck driver, so needless to say this type of pain is common.
Thank you so much, your method does magical things.
Okay I’ve been in so much pain and have tried physical therapy with little relief. So I’m getting ready to try this and let you know!🙏🏽🌺😇
Thank you for sharing!
Okay I am a true critic and all I can say is thank you, thank you, thank you. This exercise really did give me noticeable and immediate relief … Wowww!!!❤️❤️❤️
Watched this yesterday and used the rollers in the gym this morning. Made a noticeable difference and yes it was uncomfortable whilst I was using the roller. Will definitely do it again tomorrow. I think I will do it before workout and finish off on it as well
Best solution of mid back pain
Thanks a lot
thats amazing thank y'all. It helped actually it fixed my pain.
great video.
I've had a pinching pain recently right between my scapulars that i can't get rid of and when i rotate to the left i get a pain under my left scapular. any suggestions that could help
I'll give this a try. I've been getting aches in my mid back the past couple years and I attribute it to poor posture (my job requires me to hunch over an art desk 90% of my work day). When I was younger this was never a problem, I could maintain that posture all day. But now that I'm older I'm starting to feel the strain.
The human body is not designed to sit for long periods, never mind hunched over a desk, like so many people have been over the last 30 years. Add in stooping neck posture from long term phone use which is prevalent from a very young ages now, young people today are going to have very bad spines when they are older. We can all get away with poor posture in teenage years and into our 20's. Usually these things start to come out in someone's 30's if they have been doing it for a while, then it gets worse with time. In your case you can prevent further damage by trying to increase back mobility, strength and correct your posture as much as you are able to during the day. When I am in the office I am sure to get up and have walk around at least every hour, it definitely makes a difference.
Felt great but the pain got so much worse. I was stuck on the floor for an hour. I've had this pain since childhood. I really wish I could find a permanent solution.
Oh my, what have doctors told you the issue is?
@@angelacarlock3574 always hear something different. Been dealing with this since I was a kid.
What kind of doctor r u seeing? Have u tried chiropractic treatment?
Same here. It first started when I was sledding as a kid & comes on and off a few times a year. I’ve been in PT and it’s done nothing:( I’ve learned that lifting weights is a trigger so now I’ve been avoiding that but I love lifting and don’t want to avoid it for my whole life!!
Wow, thanks you guys are great. Just tried some of your stretches and instant relief.
I had hurt myself in high school (like a pulled back muscle in the upper back) that always feels like my muscles are pulling my ribs out of place. I just got a foam roller delivered to me and I tried this once and it felt amazing! I'm excited to introduce this into my daily routine to keep my back in good shape
How's it going with the chronic discomfort? Have you seen improvement with the roller?
@@bremlquan i honestly haven't kept up with doing it on a routine basis, but when I need it, it sure helps! I guess I don't use it all the time because the pain is mostly not there anymore.
This helped ALOT yesterday, I just did it again tonight and feel reborn again,
You were reborn twice?
I love you guys and truly appreciate all the help you give. Whenever I'm experiencing any issue, I look for a video from you two. I have not been disappointed! Thank you for putting patients first and teaching us all the things you do!!
You guys are the best, thanks to you both, now I feel better than ever, this exercises really helps, I had went to 4 different doctors and none of them could help me to take off the pain, but after doing these exercises I feel much better! I’m just only 20 years old and is kind of frustrating to be feeling pain and unable to do other activities because of the pain.
its frustrating at any age mate
I was in so much of pain from last 4 months, i could barely move my back without pain, this exercise helped me so much and now i am finding little comfort doing this exercise. So thank you so much to both of you, may God bless you both
And do you know why, I had the same issue
Once I discovered the foam roller at the gym, I bought one of my own by golds gym. $30 saved me tons of pain and discomfort.
Bob & Brad, I had a pinched nerve for almost 25 years I am 65 years old now foam roller treat me in only three weeks I am from Philippines. Thank you
Had back pain for 3 days, helped instantly!
I do this already... I'm fairly active, but it's sitting or laying that generates the sharp burn....
Hopefully this helped!
You guys really get it right in your vids for the DiYer lol...this video helped my mid back pain immensely -the hanging from a chin up bar vid really helped my shoulder pain - thanks for all you do here for free for people without the means to afford care out of pocket
So happy we could help and hear that you are doing better! Keep up the great work!
How can i ever repay these old folks😂🖤
Wow, you guys are amazing, i have this a try with the towels and i felt some good cracking, now a lot of the pain and tingling sensation disappeared. I'm going to order the foam roller
Odd. My back hurts and when I roll a certain place on my back, my groin and both legs start to tinge and hurt.
@@noahway13 my pain was in my mid back lower thoracic region. It sounds like you have a lower lumbar area pain

We hope so! Everyone's bodies are unique so it's hard to tell without examining you. But we have several other back pain videos as well, if these ideas don't help, maybe some others will: www.youtube.com/@BobandBrad/search?query=back%20pain
Pain went straight away. That's crazy. Thanks guys...
Yesterday I had sudden mid back pain i almost coulnt move. I was walking scrouched, took 1000 mg tylenol and hot compress. The pain subsided but still lingering with threat of happening again with wrong posture
I feel like this is like the radio show “Car Talk” but for your back
You guys are absolute life savers, I was losing days of sleep due to back pain and one evening at 4AM it was just too much so I got out of bed stretched my back out for an hour and had the best night sleep I’ve had in years. You guys rock!!
These guys definitely know what they are talking about. Trust me I tried it, and it worked.
Thanks alot.i was suffering from severe pain and after this excercise feeling lot better.Kudos to you guys.
I was on a walk carrying a big bag of stuff and out went my back. I tried to roll my back against trees and poles like a bear to no avail. The rolled towel helped a bit.
Wonderfully made! Love how easy going you guys were. Instant relief for sure. Many thanks!
good video but i can barely move let alone do these exercises ffs
It's amazing I've been doing this for years now and no one showed me it just come naturally to do it to try to relieve pain.
How often should we target to do it? Like once or twice etc every day?
I would think that this day in age with so many people sitting in front of a computer most days or all days without proper breaks or position shifting that this type of injury is common place and on the rise, because people sit more and some for hours.
Brad and Bob: I slept "wrong" on my back and then the next day I foolishly went to the gym and lifted weights. I've been lifting for almost a decade now but I was going a bit heavier than usual. Anyway, my mid back is now ridiculously sore. I can only really get relief from standing. I tried foam rolling it last night and it was OK but today it feels WORSE! The pain is so bad it almost takes my breath away and I cannot get comfortable. It really hurts when I lean back into a chair. I would hate to sit at the ER for hours only to find out I should just take OTC medication (Tylenol, Advil, Robax) and apply heat or ice. Any advice is appreciated!
What did you do to help?
Any news?
Please help. I only have pain in the upper mid back when turning my head to the right. Not the left just the right. What do I do? What is this?
Very Helpful!!!
It's amazing how a deep strain can even effect your breathing
What if my mid back hurts too much and is to sore to do this, it hurts so much can u help pls
get an x-ray, maybe you have a compression fracture of one or more of your thoracic vertebrae. Rule that out first.
I tried the towel and it hurt like hell but actually helped, I just ordered a foam roller Thank you so much I have been so uncomfortable and just the little relief from the towel was amazing
Really good video. I believe I may have torn muscles or tendons in my mid back - it was so painful I couldn't move for almost 2 weeks. What is the best way to go about the healing process and subsequent strengthening exercises for that area. Can you give me an idea of how long these kinds of injuries take to heal? I can do most things normally once again, but my muscles often feel "tired" there and am thinking they aren't quite finished recovering.
Did your back end up recovering?
Hi Bob and Brad,
Have you ever shared some exercises to help with DISH. I recently diagnosed with this ad a result of some sharp knee buckling pain while playing golf. Interestingly it happens with small swings, not big ones, but then back becomes unstable for the rest of the day. Looking for your help. Love your videos and used them frequently.

I strained my back tonight at the gym doing squats (mid/thoracic), and tried the first exercise and no lie; I heard a small "pop" from my back, just as he said would happen. I can now move my torso from left to right, bend down at the hip, and pick up my bike without pain. Foam rolling worked like magic. I think I'll go back to the gym now. LOL
We miss Bob❤
Nice video,but it is important to know that you shouldn't exceed 5 minutes especially for the second exercise.If u overdo it you will get pain from the cylinder instead.
I know this video was made 8 years ago but I was squatting a few weeks ago and felt something hurting in my middle back, feels like my muscle is very tight and I get pain when I stretch it out, any suggestions?
This content is strikingly powerful. A similar book I perused sparked an incredible journey of self-discovery. "A Life Unplugged: Reclaiming Reality in a Digital Age" by Theodore Blaze
I didn't start feeling the mid back pain/extreme pressure, till I received a couple of adjustments from my chiropractor... suggestions?
Am suffering a n upper back pain but as soon as I tried the roller method saw some results though the neck is hurting. And my back always pains wen am lying down to sleep
Sleep on side helps
I had pain and tightness there ( mid upper spine in between my left shoulder blade or spine back in 2018. And I popped it over and over until one day I popped it so hard in my car that I lost a lot of my proper functioning muscles on almost all my upper left side. It is now very difficult to flex / feel my upper left pec, left bicep and tricep, left shoulder. Only a chuck fires and also most my left lat and rhomboid. I hope someone sees this and can give me advice on what may have happened. It’s been 5 years and there has been absolutely no sign of recovery and even got slightly worse a few months ago when I popped it by accident again. The skin on most my left side is also become less sensitive but not numb. It’s hard to describe 😢 I’m miserable every day since. I still go workout have been since 2013. But have trained around it when it happened in 2018
Last night i suffered a lot of this type of pain.It was extreme level..😓😓😓
I only get pain in my middle back while jumping and running, basically the harder the impact on earth harder the pain ,what should be done it's been a week ?
You guys are awesome, I didn't use a roller but a sort of soft ball which ended up work amazing. Thanks so very much guys.
What exercises can I do at the gym with weights or resistance bands to strengthen the erector spinae muscle group?
After watching this vedio i try it...itz worked, Alhamdulillah i feel good now..how many time should i try this?
Hello
i'm 22 . I got a question if u don't mind .... I had a fracture on my thoracic spine T6, T7, T8, the doctors say that i'm fine after 8 months but every time i go out and then come home I should rest on my back at least for 3 hours to relief the pain ... what should I do ?? I did water treatments but ..... please help me out
Your voice isn't clearly audible. I have an issue about back fatigue at mid back level. not pain; the area around the spine seems to be affected ; it is like someone would feel tired, exhausted, requiring rest; later when I sit upright for some time I get relief. Could you please suggest a diagnosis.
What wonderful doctors!! These are real caring men. Love them!!!!
I agree though that Foam roller is much better for Thoracic Mobility drills, but nice video anyway.
Instant relief.. may god bless u
You guys are the best physical therapists on the internet. That is just my opinion, of course. Anyway, I have been having mid-back spasms every couple of days for a few weeks. They come out of nowhere and last about 15 seconds. There is mild, residual soreness. The location is just left of my spine by a couple of inches and slightly above elbow level. I'm not sure if the video's therapy addresses that kind of problem or if it is more for spine/disk problems.
You would do us a lot of favor by skipping the medical terminology. Just tell us what to do. The medical explanations are very distracting and intimidating
Hey doc, can thoracic back pain cause chest pain or rib cage pain?
There are many components to ways to treat back pain. One place I found that succeeds in merging these is the Barneys Back Aid (google it if you're interested) without a doubt the best plan that I've heard of. look at the great info .
I have a job that had me bend over a lot. I’m a tall guy and it really starts to hurt by the end of my shifts. What can I do to build the strength to do my job. Or how I can move in a way that prevents the pain.
This works. I foam roll everyday after work.
Cinsidering my bheogbhor who gossips about me and is on her last legs I've been shoveling but had to stop last year I'm in my sixties I try to keep moving but I've never had pain like this before
Guys you have saved my bacon. I have been suffering from mid back pain for about 2 years. My back was crunchier than a bag of pork rinds. Thanks again. Lots of love from Colombia South America.
My chiropractor adjusted my t6 a couple times but it keeps coming back out.
Is it safe for me to try this?
I have pain in my left thoracic area lets say on my left rib down where it meet with diaphragm,i never hed any injury what is the problem?I feel blunt pain wen i breathe,I went for xray and doctor told me there is no pleural effusion
Is it safe for your back to crack? I'm terrible pain at the min can't get to see anyone for the next 2 weeks. But a bit un sure about the cracking if I have any. Don't want it to go worse than it is now.
I do both, road bike and sit in a office chair and have had some pain in the upper mid right side. Thanks for showing this.
I didn’t get any pops cause I’m really active but so far this has worked out well

It takes 36 weeks from lvl1 to lvl6(full bridge) and so on, is it safe to do it?
with bulging disc?
*****
hmm I read like hyper exentsion probems? that's why it slowly builds up months by months, doesn't start instantly with bridge itself, so once you get to the bridge your muscles will be strenghtened enough. If it doesn't make it worse, I'll give a try to test it and once I made it to lvl6 I'll give a report about in about 9-10 months, how about that?
I did this but it hurts so bad that it feels like my back's gonna break, tell me what should I do please
Is your back supposed to hurt while rolling back and forth on the towel on the floor? Mine does.
Nice. I just tried this using my buckwheat hull pillows: a neck roll pillow and a regular (small Japanese style) pillow. Both were effective. I couldn't put my head on the floor completely, using the regular pillow; using the neck roll pillow, I popped the back a few times. A buckwheat hull pillow will give much more resistance and substance than foam or rolled-up towels.
Love your channel & will recommend it to clients who come for their bioacoustic tones.

Great video content! Sorry for the intrusion, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you thought about - Proutklarton Enjoy Playing Plan (do a search on google)? It is a smashing one off guide for relieving back pain in just 16 minutes minus the headache. Ive heard some great things about it and my best friend Jordan at last got astronomical results with it.
