Highly recommend reading two books by Anthony William: Medical Medium and Cleanse to Heal. Both books saved my life! You’re most likely dealing with neurotoxins from the Epstein Barr virus. You have to remove heavy metals and food sources so it weakens and dies. Share the books with your doctors. God bless you!
Father God thank you for Mike’s ability to step in. We still know you are healer and we’ve seen miracles. I think of how Peter‘s mother-in-law, in Scripture, wasn’t just sick, but she had a spirit of infirmity. Sometimes we feel as if we are generationally cursed with illness or delay. We repent of every known and unknown sin. We will let no spirit of bitterness take root in our life. Thank you for forgiving us and forgive those who have come against us. We will not be angry with those who are well-meaning, we pray blessing. We understand that we are washed clean by the blood of Jesus forgiven and death has no power over us. When the time comes to commit our spirit to you we will, but nothing may stop us prematurely as we call for Jesus to be the voice we listen to when it comes to what needs to happen and what will happen. Every curse of infirmity spoken over our life is broken off. We trust Jehovah Rapha (God who heals). Infirmity you go in Jesus name according to the authority Mark 16 and John 14 & 16 say the believer has. Sometimes there is a nutritional deficiency, a physical cause, but sometimes there is an evil attac and we break off every evil attack. No matter the cause or reason the Jesus’ blood on the cross, his Isaiah 53 healing stripes, he said, “it is finished” and it was. Jesus we know that you healed us from our infirmities, we are set free by the blood of Jesus even from a spirit of infirmity that is trying to attack and sabotage our bloodline, I break it off of the genetics in Jesus‘ name. Help us to accept that “by your stripes we are healed.” We nail our infirmities and our children’s infirmities to the cross, give us your truth about our situation and your guidance as to what to do and what not to do. Help us to never give permission for a curse to land. God forgive me for my unbelief, increase my faith for a healing, I’ve seen so many miracles, but I’ve also seen what seems to be God’s allowing or what feels like such a long delay before the miracle or solution. I don’t understand why, but I know you are good, you are good no matter what, we praise you through the pain, we praise you through the difficulty, we praise you no matter what, because you are love and didn’t break this world you made perfect. God bring our genetics into alignment with your will. Let our tongue clearly speak praise to you (I know woman who was unable to speak after her stroke, but she could read scripture clearly! 🙌). God let nothing slow us down from the call that you have for us. If it’s meant to be behind the scenes so be it and bless it! You’re will not are will, your ways and reasoning, not ours. Thank you for tolerating me God, thank you for actually loving me God, thank you for more than tolerating our nonsense and forgiving all our sins, you actually LIKE us! Oh God thank you now and thank you that in heaven we will leap and run, we will dance and feast, there will be no more crying, no more pain, no more death, no more distraction, no more lies. Keep us in hope, keep our testimony a perseverance strong, let us give glory to you God no matter our circumstance or difficulty in communication let people here that we praise you God. With God, where the spirit of God is, there will be freedom, for who the son sets free they are free indeed! Amen
Best wishes to Bob. The way you are handling your illness is inspirational to anyone who has a difficulty in their life. I hope we continue to see Bob in the videos. Welcome to Mike. ☘️🌝🌲
I agree. Bob, with his sense of humor, optimistic outlook and perserverance, is an inspiration to many as he faces this challenge. Cameo appearences will be helpful to those of us dealing with our own challenges.
Prayer for you Bob and know one will ever be able to replace your, continue to strive in your journey of recovery and healing. Because Allah SWT, God is the best planner so continue your research and learning of your medical health. I appreciate your smile and your family support will always be amazing and friend will always be there. I truly appreciate you and all I learned from watching your video’s and will always love you for the sake of God . And will keep you and your family in my prayers, Inshallah ❤😊
Bob will always be half of the most famous physical therapists on the internet. He's helped so, so many people, and all of us love and respect him so, so much!
Not hating here you guys, just pure observation based on our regular watching of this show for years. But Mike's "resting bitch face" (while Brad is talking), and his well-manicured eyebrows are taking away the essence of what could have been "delivered" by Bob effectively (before his diagnosis, that is). We love you Bob, and keep the faith!
@@jeffyeah4256 what a rude thing to comment on! I don't agree with you, but it doesn't bother me that you believe otherwise. The thing is, this isn't your everyday video. Learn compassion, please!
@@jeffyeah4256 Hi Jeff, this is not the place for a debate so if you’re looking for an argument. I won’t bite. Since we are both entitled to our beliefs, and I know yours won’t influence mine, and likely the same vice versa, idk why you’d want to use this post for that purpose. So I’ll just say All the best to you. Have a great life. I will too.

Such a gracious handing-off of the baton.
I think we need more star appearances from Bob. Lots of people are struggling with something and to see and hear how you are handling it is very helpful for everyone. Your children are very lucky to have an amazing Father, you have a wise daughter. Your outlook and positive attitude is inspiring. You're all a great team, thanks Mike.
I second this!!!! I survived Guillain Barre 2x and just recently lost my aunt to ALS. It is comforting to hear Bob's experiences and the example he is setting for his kids living a purposeful and joyful life no matter the circumstances. Sending you all lots of love and gratitude ❤❤❤
Yes, I agree that it would be good to see Bob on a regular basis! We all love you and want to know how you are. And it's true, many people are struggling with seriois health issues, and it's helpful to know that they're not alone. Bob, you are encouraging and inspiring. A great example of perseverance and gratitude. Thank you for being YOU!!
Ok. This made me emotional. I don’t know how Brad was able to sit there without crying. Your humor and inner strength are inspirational. Please continue to make your presence felt!
Same, I had to explain to my husband why I was crying lol i feel like I know these guys, I’ve been watching them for years and I wish I could give Bob a hug. And now they changed the theme song to have no lyrics, it all just got me emotional 😂 BOB we love you!
Bob..keep going❤ Bob and Brad..forever a team..so silly and so much fun to watch but also very helpful and informative. Two GREATEST Physical Therapist on the internet. Stay strong. Really big shoes to fill Mike..I'm guessing maybe size 15..lol. Welcome to Mike:)
I'll second that. Thanks for the update. Please keep us informed also on your daughter's progress. I'm inspired after both knee replacements within the past year.
So sorry to hear this😮. Just found you guys about 2-3 weeks ago! Was having problems with tmj. Did the exercises and see improvements already! Love your sense of humor. God bless, your in my prayers.
I miss Bob and don’t care if he sounds different. His thinking and personality and humor are still there. Perfection is not necessary! I would love to see him whenever he feels up to it! ❤❤❤
I totally agree with this comment! I hope to see more of Bob in the future. Perhaps there are ways he can still contribute on video without a speaking role?
You are amazing, you give us ways to make us try to get through all sorts of problems with our bodies. Remember that you are the same person just now a person with ataxia. Peggy from Putting People First
omg Bob talking about his children watching him and teaching them a lesson on dealing with life challenges - it brought me into tears. So inspiring ! i'm grateful there are fathers like this in the world
You have so much grace, Bob. As a psychotherapist who works solely with the 65+ crowd, I know this is a bittersweet decision. I also know that this does NOT mean you're done teaching, inspiring, and supporting others. You continue to have gifts that need to be shared with the world. Please also know that there are SO many people in this world who are happy to move at your physical and verbal pace. Sending you so much love and wishing for the most benevolent outcome for your health. I'm going to miss you! Please pop on occasionally!
Thank you for the update on Bob and for introducing Mike as his successor. Welcome, Mike. Bob - you have given so much to so many. I appreciate that you have and continue to do so. May God be with you and your family every step of this journey.
I cried watching this video. As it turns out, in this funny world of social media, you can develop strong bonds and a fond appreciation for kind souls like Bob and Brad who have helped millions of people in the world, including myself. Bob - thank you for your service, your resilience and your devotion to your craft. Your words were truly touching and I only wish you and your family the best. We know you will stay involved behind the scenes and will keep teasing Brad with his questionable humor ☺️❤️❤️
I’ll miss Bob. I hope he can still come by to make an appearance on the show from time to time! Even if he just holds up a sign and waves at us! ❤ Bless you, Bob!
Agreed! Every time he turned to Brad with a wisecrack and a grin, I saw the same old Bob with the same effortless sense of humor in spite of him sounding different. Bob, I wish you all the best with your condition and I know that your sense of humor and your courage will carry you gracefully through any challenges that come your way. Best wishes from Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you for coming on screen Bob! This community loves you and couldn't be more proud of how well you're handling this! You're an inspiration to us all!
I'll wipe my tears.. I feel the courage in this video. I remember subscribing to these guys the first time I heard their jingle. "They are so cool" I thought. I look at this video today and I'm thinking "they're the coolest"
Man, you ain't lying, I'm usually pretty cynical about stuff but seeing how stoic Bob is about this diagnosis and hearing him talk about it as an opportunity to teach his kids caught me off guard, I was not expecting tears.
Yes exactly, my grandson had leukemia at age 2 and we watched him go through chemotherapy treatments and all the other meds that cam with it. I wished I could have taken it away from him and did it myself.
🎉 Bob, it's so great to see you!! 🎉 Bob and Brad will remain the most famous physical therapists on the internet always and evermore. 💕 We love you!! 💕 And, welcome Mike!
Bob doesn't sound awful... he sounds different than what we were used to... Which is fine, life happens and it's imppressive to see how resilient he is and how he is still funny, joyous and full of life. I did shed a tear watching this... I had no idea. I feel forever grateful for all the lessons I have learned in this channel and while I wish Bob would come back even in his new state of being, respecting his decision sounds like the right thing to do. Wishing you Bob health for many more years!
The chemistry between Bob and Brad was magical and it is very sad that we won't see that shared humor and love. But please show your face now and then Bob. Welcome Mike and best wishes to you.
Hi Bob, I met you and your wife this morning at the Mayo Clinic. I’m the volunteer that talked to you about where we lived in Winona. It was great talking to both of you. Talking to and helping folks, like you, find their way through the Clinic makes my day! My best wishes for you and your family.
This video made me cry. My mother also has cerebellar ataxia and it's so hard to see the changes that happen. It's also scary to think it could be due to genetics and I may have to face it in the future. Best wishes to Bob and anyone else experiencing this disease.
No one can replace Bob! No one. I want Bob still in the videos with Ataxia and all! Bob and Brad have such a wonderful dynamic together that it really is irreplaceable. Many prayers for you Bob and glad to see you still have your wonderful sense of humor.🙏
You will never be replaced Bob. You are one of a kind. You will have people helping, but we will thank you every single day for what you have done for all of us.
I felt quite emotional seeing Bob whose humor is still very present with Brad and had me smiling to see them together. The two most famous physical therapists on the internet, in all of our opinions, of course. Sending prayers. 🤍🤍
Poor fellow! I pray Bob's Ataxia is in remission. Please have Bob make cameos from time to time as others have requested. Send love and healing from California xx
This one was a real tear jerker. I will miss you Bob. My favorite thing about you has been your sense of humor and positive attitude, and it warms my heart to see that they're both still there, in spite of what you're going through. Know that you are loved by thousands of people. And thank you Bob.
It’s funny how attached we viewers can get to someone we’ve never met in person. Thank you for all you’ve already done, Bob, and how you continue to challenge us to hang in there as you do. Best wishes to Mike as he takes a more visible role. Brad, you’re a gem too!
This man has helped so many people in his life through these videos. Probably only 1 in 1 million people will have as much positive impact as Bob has had.
Bob has no replacement, only a successor. You have inspired an entire generation of people looking to take control of their health. You leave behind a legacy and will pass on the torch to a great successor. You can never be replaced, good man. God bless you.
Some youtube channels are really great for health. I found some whole food-plant based doctors and I fixed many things about my health, cholesterol in particular.
I am so proud of the way that Bob has stepped up and shown us all how to proceed with grace, humour and dignity during this difficult period. Grateful that Brad is the fantastic friend and support for Bob and would love to see more of Bob. For those of us who also face medical challenges You are all inspirational and healing humans! Welcome Mike.
I love Bob’s positive attitude and enthusiasm to keep active and that beautiful smile. I love both of you men and this service you do for those of us who work with others is so greatly appreciated. Bob keep up your wonderful gratitude and positive attitude. God bless you and your family and your generosity and love.
Bob thank you! ❤ You are an amazing example to not only your children but to all of us as well. Welcome Mike! So glad to have you on board. Brad and Bob are my go too. Love you all and am praying for you!
I totally agree about having great people in our lives! As a fellow PT, I have shared your videos with patients and family members! You are both awesome, and I'm sure Mike will do great as a "successor!"! As a believer in Christ, I will also pray for you, Bob! God bless all of you!🙏💙💙💙🙏
As someone who lives with disability, I’d really like to see Bob continue teaching (if he’s comfortable with that) - it helps to see someone who isn’t able bodied teaching when there’s flare-ups and normalizing different speech patterns. He sounds great.
I love that you are seeing this set back as an opportunity to teach your children how to handle life’s difficulties with dignity, bravery, grace, and humor! You are a man to look up to!
Dear Bob, you are very inspiring and lovable! I hope you can make occasional appearances because we miss you very much❣️ Also, welcome to the team, Mike!👍
Bob, you don't sound awful at all, it's so great to see you and to know you are still teaching and guiding people by being a shining example of positivity and purpose.
This channel is so much more than being just about Physio. It’s about strength, perseverance, love and friendship. The way Brad has supported and stood by Bob is such a great example of true friendship. Love you, Bob and Brad. Bob, please keep coming back. We love seeing you here.❤❤❤
You don't sound awful Bob! You sound tenacious and committed and positive and caring - I'm grateful for all the stuff you've done so far and the help I've had from you and Brad. I wish you all the best and I miss you xxx
Cried a little at Bob's beautiful perspective on being an example and going through what he is with bravery, which we've already been seeing him do nothing but. Thank you for BOTH of you. Please have Bob make appearances, we still need his funny and sarcastic quips back and forth with Brad.
Hear, hear! Thank you for all experience, knowledge, and practical wisdom you’ve shared through your videos (and in person with your patients & coworkers)! I use exercises and advice from your videos almost daily.
Bob, we can all see you've been working so hard to push through this health challenge. Please know that every viewer of the channel is 100% behind you! ❤
You have our hearts and our prayers, Bob. You have me in tears but they are sad AND happy tears. You will always be a teacher and a wonderful example of how to live. You are irreplaceable and as we watch Mike doing a good job, it’s comforting to know you are behind the scenes, still leading the way. Thank you SO for the update. Don’t be a stranger.
Cheryl, you said everything I was thinking, as I too cried. The camaraderie of Bob and Brad has always been my favorite part, and it is good to see that Brad and Mike have a similar back and forth.
@@leeallen210 You are so right! The camaraderie was what got me watching years ago and then as I’m getting older, I really appreciate their knowledge. They are genuinely awesome guys - you can’t fake that.
And… the pain relief you continue providing, through this wonderful library of videos, helps people emotionally, too. All of this healing, humor, hope & renewal builds onward. Thank you for what you do ~ which also increases peace in the world! Thank you for sharing your strength & vulnerability, Bob. You are being sent best wishes from some collection of your ever growing fans at all times! With Gratitude. Rock On!
Dear Bob, I cried through this video, tears of compassion for you, I admire your strength and wish you have this much optimism to every day of your fight. How fragile our health is and seeing you and others who are fighters against diseases is an inspiration for all of us once we are faced with it. All the best!! And hallo to Brad and Mike, keep on makinf videos for us thank you! Jana
Broke my heart! We, none of us know what we’ll have to go thru before we leave this place, but why things have to happen to as precious a soul as he, & for that matter so many others is darn hard to understand & accept. God is in control tho. May He keep & bless you mightily Bob!! We love & appreciate you both!! ❤
When Bob said, "I can do that..." (use a walker) I was just humbled by how amazing and brave you are. Thank you for your courage. I hope some day I'm as courageous as you are.
I can relate Bob, i myself have an ataxia which affects my balance and coordination 😟. It’s tough to deal with on a daily basis, especially in the world today, but it is what it is and you can’t give up! I admire your positive attitude Bob, and my thoughts and prayers are with you🙏🏼🙏🏼
Bob, you are amazing! You don’t sound awful, you sound strong and resilient. You can never be replaced. You have helped so many and I can’t imagine you will ever stop. If anyone can find a way to keep your life as meaningful as possible, it is you. Keep doing some appearances when you can. 🤗
I salute Bob's unwavering spirit and positivity. He will *always* be an irreplaceable member of the team. Mike seems like a super guy, and we look forward to getting to know him better while Bob carries on behind the scenes. Major respect for you lovely humans!
I miss seeing you around, Bob. My family sends their love and prayers, as I am sure many people who watch your videos do. You are lovely. And Brad, thank you for going on. You guys are both lovely.
Bob, you sound fantastic and you shouldn’t feel the need to fade into the background. You’ve earned the respect of SO many of us here and now it’s our turn to support your journey! 🙏🏻
Considering your condition (which I share) you sound amazingly good. I’m lucky my cerebellar ataxia only affects my balance and coordination. You’re approach as a dad for your kids is also wonderful. Hugs to you and your family ❤
It’s so patronizing to tell the guy he sounds fantastic when he clearly does not. Why do people do? This is really insulting to Bob. Bob clearly knows this.
Bob and Brad are the old school youtube guys... before algorithm , before thumbnails , before click baits.... just a couple of dedicated professionals determined to spread good information for those who need it. It's of course very sad to see bad thing happening with good people so let me just send the best wishes to Bob and may he can have a decent quality of life with his condition. Best of the best to all guys handling the channel for all those years. We love you Bob! Cheers!
Been watching you guys for years, some times for my own ailments and many times just for pure curiosity about the human body. I’m so grateful to you both, and I’m so sad to hear about Bob’s health condition. What a humbling story to share about Bob’s daughter. “I’m not going to worry about the cancer because I know you’re going to do all that for me” “I’d rather go through this 100x over than to see one of my kids go through cancer again” 🥺 Bob, thank you for bringing so many people so much help and edutainment for so many years. You’ve been a real joy to watch on TH-cam. I’m sending love to Bob, your team, and your family.
I hope Bob will pop into the show from time to time. I have no trouble understanding him. You guys, now 3, are a great team working hard to help us stay mobile and pain-free. So much gratitude for all of you.
I’ve never cried so hard for a stranger on TH-cam. I’m sorry to hear about your condition Bob 🙏 Sending well wishes. I appreciate everything you and Brad have provided here.
We love you Bob. It is SO good to see you today, smiling and giving an update with your good humor. You and Brad are such a great team. Not everyone follows the same path, even with the same diagnosis. You have so many people rooting for you!!
Oh Bob, you will be so missed. Thank You so much for all of the help you have given to so many. I hope you will be back to visit from time to time. Sending healing prayers to you.
Bob, thank you so much for being willing to come on and provide an update. We're rooting for you. Thank you for being such a bright spot on TH-cam, you're an inspiration. We appreciate you all. Take care!
Bob, it is so good to see you and hear from you! I miss seeing you regularly on the videos, but you all have chosen well in bringing Mike in. Take care of yourself, Bob. You are in in my prayers. You are still a valuable team member!!
If you missed the original video on Bob's diagnosis you can watch it here th-cam.com/video/8zFEppGYEKA/w-d-xo.html

I did just see that one. I’m so sorry for him. I know he’ll do everything he can to help himself.

Yes, please! 🙏🏼

Bob you are so brave , honest and humble. This path that God has given you is your greatest teaching ever. You are in my prayers.
I thought the same thing! Yes, a cameo would be nice from time to time!
Yes, please do pop in from time to time.
You don’t have a replacement. A successor, maybe, but not a replacement. Appreciate you guys so much and lifting you up in much prayer!
Prayer for you Bob and know one will ever be able to replace your, continue to strive in your journey of recovery and healing. Because Allah SWT, God is the best planner so continue your research and learning of your medical health.

Bob leaves some big shoes to fill!! What a gracious handoff, glad to know you’re still behind the scenes! Sending you and your family well wishes 🎉
I recently had a stroke (that did not affect my speech) & found out very quickly how exhausting it is to talk when you are very sick & tired 😮
SLP here, too. Totally agree!

I'll second that. Thanks for the update. Please keep us informed also on your daughter's progress. I'm inspired after both knee replacements within the past year.
So sorry to hear this😮. Just found you guys about 2-3 weeks ago! Was having problems with tmj. Did the exercises and see improvements already! Love your sense of humor. God bless, your in my prayers.
I miss Bob and don’t care if he sounds different. His thinking and personality and humor are still there. Perfection is not necessary! I would love to see him whenever he feels up to it! ❤❤❤
I totally agree with this comment! I hope to see more of Bob in the future. Perhaps there are ways he can still contribute on video without a speaking role?
Agreed.
Agreed!
I agree with your statement as well!!!
Absolutely agree! ❤❤❤❤ Bob!
My Dad was recently diagnosed with ataxia. You don't sound awful, please stay in the videos, too. I love seeing your updates ❤
❤❤❤ please stay. We can always understand your speech even if it gets worse. We love you.
Appreciate you saying so!
We love and miss you Bob! We don’t care how you sound. 🙏🙏🙏
You have done wonderful things for humanity. Wishing you many healing blessings. Stay strong…God Heals! Dr. Mandell
Between you, & Bob & Brad, I still get around despite my arthritis & many broken parts. Thank you too!
So beautiful to see you here supporting too.
So sorry to hear about Bob ! Hope and pray he will be able to maintain his present condition. I wasn’t aware Bob had these issues. Prays for you Bob !
You are amazing, you give us ways to make us try to get through all sorts of problems with our bodies. Remember that you are the same person just now a person with ataxia. Peggy from Putting People First
I agree in prayer with you. Amen.
Bob you are missed. We are so glad you are still involved in the channel. Our prayers are with you. Welcome Mike.
Bob talking about teaching hard lessons to his kids made me cry he’s an inspiration what a warrior
I knew I wasn't the only one with tears!
@@jessicak2361 definitely not the only one!
These onions make me cry. Stinking onions! Praying for you Bob … and Brad… and Mike. Welcome and God bless you all. 🙏🏼💕😊
Yes
Got me right in the tear ducts over here too.
Warrior, indeed!
Bob, keep kicking all the asses, man.🙌🫂
Truly inspired.
omg Bob talking about his children watching him and teaching them a lesson on dealing with life challenges - it brought me into tears. So inspiring ! i'm grateful there are fathers like this in the world
Yup I’m a mess after that
Me too I totally related❤
Grateful indeed for Bob and the love that surrounds him and his family is truly inspiring. Bob is a role model for us as parents.
You have so much grace, Bob. As a psychotherapist who works solely with the 65+ crowd, I know this is a bittersweet decision. I also know that this does NOT mean you're done teaching, inspiring, and supporting others. You continue to have gifts that need to be shared with the world. Please also know that there are SO many people in this world who are happy to move at your physical and verbal pace. Sending you so much love and wishing for the most benevolent outcome for your health. I'm going to miss you! Please pop on occasionally!
Happy to move at his pace.
Beautiful and true words!
Do you do any online work?
@@deborahbarry8458 , yes I do Telehealth; however, I'm only licensed to practice in Colorado. Thank you for asking 😇🙏
Thank you for the update on Bob and for introducing Mike as his successor. Welcome, Mike. Bob - you have given so much to so many. I appreciate that you have and continue to do so. May God be with you and your family every step of this journey.
I cried watching this video. As it turns out, in this funny world of social media, you can develop strong bonds and a fond appreciation for kind souls like Bob and Brad who have helped millions of people in the world, including myself. Bob - thank you for your service, your resilience and your devotion to your craft. Your words were truly touching and I only wish you and your family the best. We know you will stay involved behind the scenes and will keep teasing Brad with his questionable humor ☺️❤️❤️
Very well put.
Me too, I cried.
Bob had (has) great personality! Sad watching this😢
Yea I'm tearing up now....love you brother
I cried, too--when he said he'd go through it a thousand times rather than have one of his children get another cancer diagnosis.
I’ll miss Bob. I hope he can still come by to make an appearance on the show from time to time! Even if he just holds up a sign and waves at us! ❤ Bless you, Bob!
Sure thing!
“I can type but never could”
We adore you Bob, humour still on point 💪
Nobody can "replace" Bob, but it's nice that Mike can step in to help. We're still keeping you in our prayers, Bob.
🙏
It’s obvious that Bob’s condition hasn’t affected his amazing sense of humor! Love to see his strength and light through a difficult circumstance.
Agreed! Every time he turned to Brad with a wisecrack and a grin, I saw the same old Bob with the same effortless sense of humor in spite of him sounding different. Bob, I wish you all the best with your condition and I know that your sense of humor and your courage will carry you gracefully through any challenges that come your way.
Best wishes from Canada 🇨🇦
So true! It’s great to see Bob’a sense humour as keen as ever. Love you, Bob
Thank you for coming on screen Bob! This community loves you and couldn't be more proud of how well you're handling this! You're an inspiration to us all!
You're welcome!
I'll wipe my tears.. I feel the courage in this video. I remember subscribing to these guys the first time I heard their jingle. "They are so cool" I thought. I look at this video today and I'm thinking "they're the coolest"
Thank you for your words, we appreciate it very much.
Thank you!!
100% agreed
I'm not crying, you're crying.... hearing him talk about his daughter, probably one of the sweetest things I've heard.
Man, you ain't lying, I'm usually pretty cynical about stuff but seeing how stoic Bob is about this diagnosis and hearing him talk about it as an opportunity to teach his kids caught me off guard, I was not expecting tears.
Right!!
Yes exactly, my grandson had leukemia at age 2 and we watched him go through chemotherapy treatments and all the other meds that cam with it. I wished I could have taken it away from him and did it myself.
Bob stands for dignity and courage. He will keep us facing all the challenges of our own, and eventually Bob and we all will prevail. Thank you, Sir.
😄
Well said 🧡
No one can replace you, Bob. No one. I love seeing you, hearing from you. Please come on the shows whenever you feel like it.❤️
🎉 Bob, it's so great to see you!! 🎉 Bob and Brad will remain the most famous physical therapists on the internet always and evermore. 💕 We love you!! 💕 And, welcome Mike!
Bob doesn't sound awful... he sounds different than what we were used to... Which is fine, life happens and it's imppressive to see how resilient he is and how he is still funny, joyous and full of life. I did shed a tear watching this... I had no idea. I feel forever grateful for all the lessons I have learned in this channel and while I wish Bob would come back even in his new state of being, respecting his decision sounds like the right thing to do. Wishing you Bob health for many more years!
Me too! Cried and grateful!
Me three.
Dearest Bob, You are in our prayers…there is no replacement for you. Your courage and bravery is such a blessing to us all.
The chemistry between Bob and Brad was magical and it is very sad that we won't see that shared humor and love. But please show your face now and then Bob. Welcome Mike and best wishes to you.
I agree oh so heartedly!!! You voiced my thoughts so well.
We'll see!
Hi Bob, I met you and your wife this morning at the Mayo Clinic. I’m the volunteer that talked to you about where we lived in Winona. It was great talking to both of you. Talking to and helping folks, like you, find their way through the Clinic makes my day! My best wishes for you and your family.
This video made me cry. My mother also has cerebellar ataxia and it's so hard to see the changes that happen. It's also scary to think it could be due to genetics and I may have to face it in the future. Best wishes to Bob and anyone else experiencing this disease.
We are praying for you, Bob!
Through it ALL …
You’re STILL our HERO!
Blessings & love to you!👍🙏❤️
Much appreciated ❤
@@BobandBrad 😘
Bob… what a man. Worthy of deepest respect and gifts for how he has and is helping many people.
Not replaced, moved to a director's level. The knowledge is still there to share. We appreciate that you are using yourself to educate the world.
Well said.
We always new that Bob was the boss 😊
@Dagney Taggert: Beautifully said! 👍🇨🇦
We love Bob and pray he'll have the strength to get through this.
Amen ❤️
Amen
I can see how much respect and love Brad has for Bob. I miss you Bob, wishing you all the very best 💕
I could too. I thought he was almost tearful at times. It’s so hard seeing good friends going through hard times and not being able to help them much.
Best wishes Bob. Really love the videos have been a great help.
Bob's daily appearances are missed, but Mike is great. Prayers to you Bob, a real warrior.
Agreed!
Bob, no matter what life throws at you, you’ll always be our Bob. Best wishes for you and all the team.
COULDNT PUT IT ANY BETTER WELL SAID
Good to see him again. I’m sad he doesn’t want to be on camera anymore, but it’s understandable. He’s done amazing work and will continue to do so ♥️
No one can replace Bob! No one. I want Bob still in the videos with Ataxia and all! Bob and Brad have such a wonderful dynamic together that it really is irreplaceable. Many prayers for you Bob and glad to see you still have your wonderful sense of humor.🙏
Not working without Bob. I will watch the old ones
You will never be replaced Bob. You are one of a kind. You will have people helping, but we will thank you every single day for what you have done for all of us.
I felt quite emotional seeing Bob whose humor is still very present with Brad and had me smiling to see them together. The two most famous physical therapists on the internet, in all of our opinions, of course. Sending prayers. 🤍🤍
Beautiful.
Thank you!
Poor fellow! I pray Bob's Ataxia is in remission. Please have Bob make cameos from time to time as others have requested. Send love and healing from California xx
Thank you!
This one was a real tear jerker. I will miss you Bob. My favorite thing about you has been your sense of humor and positive attitude, and it warms my heart to see that they're both still there, in spite of what you're going through. Know that you are loved by thousands of people. And thank you Bob.
Bob is irreplaceable. God bless him and his family in his next chapter.
Thank you!
Sending love to Bob and anyone else working through similar challenges!
💙
Prayers For you Bob, You can never be replaced your the original and the one and only Bob 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
It’s funny how attached we viewers can get to someone we’ve never met in person. Thank you for all you’ve already done, Bob, and how you continue to challenge us to hang in there as you do. Best wishes to Mike as he takes a more visible role. Brad, you’re a gem too!
This man has helped so many people in his life through these videos. Probably only 1 in 1 million people will have as much positive impact as Bob has had.
Thank you!
Bob is a super human being. A rare man of strength and kindness . Thank you for all your inspiration.💓🙏💓💪
Bob cannot be replaced! His courage in handling this situation is a great example to us all! I will continue to watch and learn from all of you!
We appreciate that!
Bob has no replacement, only a successor. You have inspired an entire generation of people looking to take control of their health. You leave behind a legacy and will pass on the torch to a great successor. You can never be replaced, good man. God bless you.
Some youtube channels are really great for health. I found some whole food-plant based doctors and I fixed many things about my health, cholesterol in particular.
Great comment - you can't be replaced. I still want you around on camera. You're an inspiration🍀
I hope Bob knows, we can understand him & as long as he's comfortable, I hope we can get updates.💕🙏👏
Exactly! I hope to still see his face and join others in offering continued support. ❤️❤️
I think he’s the type that doesn’t even have to speak and his heart still comes out!!
I can't believe I missed this. This dynamic duo has gotten me through so much and it breaks my damn heart to see this. Prayers to you sir.
Just saw it as well after watching some newer videos and now im sobbbing
Bob just gave us all a lesson in gratitude. God bless him.
So true
I am so proud of the way that Bob has stepped up and shown us all how to proceed with grace, humour and dignity during this difficult period. Grateful that Brad is the fantastic friend and support for Bob and would love to see more of Bob. For those of us who also face medical challenges You are all inspirational and healing humans! Welcome Mike.
I always like the simplicity and humbleness of Bob, and the respect these guys have for one another.
I love Bob’s positive attitude and enthusiasm to keep active and that beautiful smile. I love both of you men and this service you do for those of us who work with others is so greatly appreciated. Bob keep up your wonderful gratitude and positive attitude. God bless you and your family and your generosity and love.
Group hug to all. Special HUG to Bob. You are courageous ,smart, and needed by all of us. You will be missed so please pop on once in a while.
Thanks!
What an incredible example Bob is. Handling this with grace and strength. Much love and prayers 😊
Bob thank you! ❤ You are an amazing example to not only your children but to all of us as well. Welcome Mike! So glad to have you on board. Brad and Bob are my go too. Love you all and am praying for you!
And smiles. and laughter ❤️
Full admiration for Bob. Brad's support, respect and acceptance of Bob is exemplary. We all should have such good people in our lives.
Thank you!
I totally agree about having great people in our lives! As a fellow PT, I have shared your videos with patients and family members! You are both awesome, and I'm sure Mike will do great as a "successor!"! As a believer in Christ, I will also pray for you, Bob! God bless all of you!🙏💙💙💙🙏
We love you bob. Glad you are still steering the ship and providing your wisdom.
No one can replace you Bob, you are missed. Prayers for you and your family
As someone who lives with disability, I’d really like to see Bob continue teaching (if he’s comfortable with that) - it helps to see someone who isn’t able bodied teaching when there’s flare-ups and normalizing different speech patterns. He sounds great.
I agree wholeheartedly!!
I agree!
As someone who has a life-long disability myself, I can only add this: You're so right!
❤
Thank you, we'll take it one day at a time!
Looking good Bob. God bless you and your children. Welcome Mike.
I love that you are seeing this set back as an opportunity to teach your children how to handle life’s difficulties with dignity, bravery, grace, and humor! You are a man to look up to!
As a parent, Bob's 3 points were so touching and wise. We love you, Bob!
Lots of love and blessings Bob. 🙏❤
Thank you!
Bob, Brad, and Mike….the best physical therapists on the internet. Sending prayers for healing.
❤
Dear Bob, you are very inspiring and lovable! I hope you can make occasional appearances because we miss you very much❣️
Also, welcome to the team, Mike!👍
YEAH BOB! A sense of humor will take you further than any medicine. We are ALL praying for you and keeping you close to our hearts.
Bob, you don't sound awful at all, it's so great to see you and to know you are still teaching and guiding people by being a shining example of positivity and purpose.
This channel is so much more than being just about Physio. It’s about strength, perseverance, love and friendship. The way Brad has supported and stood by Bob is such a great example of true friendship. Love you, Bob and Brad. Bob, please keep coming back. We love seeing you here.❤❤❤
Great leadership Bob. You have a lot to give. Don’t give up presenting.
Thank you!
You don't sound awful Bob! You sound tenacious and committed and positive and caring - I'm grateful for all the stuff you've done so far and the help I've had from you and Brad. I wish you all the best and I miss you xxx
Cried a little at Bob's beautiful perspective on being an example and going through what he is with bravery, which we've already been seeing him do nothing but. Thank you for BOTH of you. Please have Bob make appearances, we still need his funny and sarcastic quips back and forth with Brad.
Exactly this!
You guys have alleviated so much pain and helped so many people in need, I pray you receive even a fraction of what you have given to us 🙏🏽
AMEN!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Hear, hear! Thank you for all experience, knowledge, and practical wisdom you’ve shared through your videos (and in person with your patients & coworkers)! I use exercises and advice from your videos almost daily.
Amen!
Amen 🙏!
Amen. Amen. Amen. 🕯 🕯 🕯
I cried watching this. I have watched tons of your videos and I appreciate everything you guys have done! Bob, you will be in my prayers
Same here. Watched a ton of their videos the years for various injuries. Had no idea this was going on and reminded me of my own mortality. 😢
Bob, we can all see you've been working so hard to push through this health challenge. Please know that every viewer of the channel is 100% behind you! ❤
You have our hearts and our prayers, Bob. You have me in tears but they are sad AND happy tears. You will always be a teacher and a wonderful example of how to live. You are irreplaceable and as we watch Mike doing a good job, it’s comforting to know you are behind the scenes, still leading the way. Thank you SO for the update. Don’t be a stranger.
I also had tears! Life can be hard some times!
I also on tears! Keep it going Bob, never give up❤
Cheryl, you said everything I was thinking, as I too cried. The camaraderie of Bob and Brad has always been my favorite part, and it is good to see that Brad and Mike have a similar back and forth.
@@leeallen210 You are so right! The camaraderie was what got me watching years ago and then as I’m getting older, I really appreciate their knowledge. They are genuinely awesome guys - you can’t fake that.
Yes please. Bob, please have periodic connect with your viewers. May God's peace and love be with you always ❤️
Bob, you’ve helped more people than you’ll ever realize. Thank you.
Bravo!
And… the pain relief you continue providing, through this wonderful library of videos, helps people emotionally, too. All of this healing, humor, hope & renewal builds onward.
Thank you for what you do ~ which also increases peace in the world!
Thank you for sharing your strength & vulnerability, Bob. You are being sent best wishes from some collection of your ever growing fans at all times! With Gratitude. Rock On!
Dear Bob, I cried through this video, tears of compassion for you, I admire your strength and wish you have this much optimism to every day of your fight. How fragile our health is and seeing you and others who are fighters against diseases is an inspiration for all of us once we are faced with it. All the best!! And hallo to Brad and Mike, keep on makinf videos for us thank you! Jana
I cried, too.
Beautiful testimony of strength ❤️🙏
i did too!!
Broke my heart! We, none of us know what we’ll have to go thru before we leave this place, but why things have to happen to as precious a soul as he, & for that matter so many others is darn hard to understand & accept. God is in control tho. May He keep & bless you mightily Bob!! We love & appreciate you both!! ❤
My prayers are with you Sir. Such a good teacher. Blessings to you and family. ❤
When Bob said, "I can do that..." (use a walker) I was just humbled by how amazing and brave you are. Thank you for your courage. I hope some day I'm as courageous as you are.
Same, it's so humbling. A true soldier.
I can relate Bob, i myself have an ataxia which affects my balance and coordination 😟. It’s tough to deal with on a daily basis, especially in the world today, but it is what it is and you can’t give up!
I admire your positive attitude Bob, and my thoughts and prayers are with you🙏🏼🙏🏼
Bob, you are amazing! You don’t sound awful, you sound strong and resilient. You can never be replaced. You have helped so many and I can’t imagine you will ever stop. If anyone can find a way to keep your life as meaningful as possible, it is you. Keep doing some appearances when you can. 🤗
Thank you!
You're not talking bad at all, Bob. Glad to hear you're still doing daily walks. Very glad your daughter is free of lymphoma. Best to all of you guys.
I salute Bob's unwavering spirit and positivity. He will *always* be an irreplaceable member of the team. Mike seems like a super guy, and we look forward to getting to know him better while Bob carries on behind the scenes. Major respect for you lovely humans!
Love you Bob. You have a fantastic spirit. Thatnk you.
I miss seeing you around, Bob. My family sends their love and prayers, as I am sure many people who watch your videos do. You are lovely. And Brad, thank you for going on. You guys are both lovely.
Thank you so much for your continued support!
Bob, you sound fantastic and you shouldn’t feel the need to fade into the background. You’ve earned the respect of SO many of us here and now it’s our turn to support your journey! 🙏🏻
I agree
He doesn't sound fantastic...
Considering your condition (which I share) you sound amazingly good. I’m lucky my cerebellar ataxia only affects my balance and coordination. You’re approach as a dad for your kids is also wonderful. Hugs to you and your family ❤
He sounds fantastic if you put yourself in his shoes and understand the effort.
It’s so patronizing to tell the guy he sounds fantastic when he clearly does not. Why do people do? This is really insulting to Bob. Bob clearly knows this.
Bob and Brad are the old school youtube guys... before algorithm , before thumbnails , before click baits.... just a couple of dedicated professionals determined to spread good information for those who need it.
It's of course very sad to see bad thing happening with good people so let me just send the best wishes to Bob and may he can have a decent quality of life with his condition.
Best of the best to all guys handling the channel for all those years.
We love you Bob! Cheers!
Thank you very much, we appreciate you!!
True , I took them for granted ,just turned 70 and having doubts about age just being a number.Bob ,you and Brad instill decency and no nonsense,
Beautifully said 👌
We want Bob to come in now and then and give us updates. We all care about him, we want to know how he's doing.
Been watching you guys for years, some times for my own ailments and many times just for pure curiosity about the human body. I’m so grateful to you both, and I’m so sad to hear about Bob’s health condition.
What a humbling story to share about Bob’s daughter. “I’m not going to worry about the cancer because I know you’re going to do all that for me” “I’d rather go through this 100x over than to see one of my kids go through cancer again” 🥺
Bob, thank you for bringing so many people so much help and edutainment for so many years. You’ve been a real joy to watch on TH-cam.
I’m sending love to Bob, your team, and your family.
I hope Bob will pop into the show from time to time. I have no trouble understanding him. You guys, now 3, are a great team working hard to help us stay mobile and pain-free. So much gratitude for all of you.
I’ve never cried so hard for a stranger on TH-cam. I’m sorry to hear about your condition Bob 🙏 Sending well wishes. I appreciate everything you and Brad have provided here.
Same but hardly feels like strangers
Man, me too. Thanks for sharing.
Me too! I am not even a crier. I love these guys😘
Same
Me too! Really beautiful. 🙏
We love you Bob. It is SO good to see you today, smiling and giving an update with your good humor. You and Brad are such a great team. Not everyone follows the same path, even with the same diagnosis. You have so many people rooting for you!!
Oh Bob, you will be so missed. Thank You so much for all of the help you have given to so many. I hope you will be back to visit from time to time. Sending healing prayers to you.
Bob, thank you so much for being willing to come on and provide an update. We're rooting for you. Thank you for being such a bright spot on TH-cam, you're an inspiration. We appreciate you all. Take care!
Bob, it is so good to see you and hear from you! I miss seeing you regularly on the videos, but you all have chosen well in bringing Mike in. Take care of yourself, Bob. You are in in my prayers. You are still a valuable team member!!
Bob it is GREAT to hear your voice! ❤ You're not being replaced, you've attained Professor Emeritus status. 🌟Welcome Mike! Thank you Brad!
