This is the most wholesome channel. It's that "hanging out with dad" vibe.
I'm just happy for anyone who has a Dad both smarter than themselves and caring. Must be the most wonderful feeling.
Now I know why I find it so comforting. Thank you! Xx
I pulled my left upper trap 6 days ago, and the pain since has been genuinely excruciating. sitting in my car screaming excruciating! I bought an upper back posture brace today, and it has improved things massively so far. I'll never neglect my upper back, neck, and shoulder posture again!
I’m going through this right now. Once I started controlling my posture I’ve had a lot of relief. Seriously focus on your posture guys.
Made it so much worse for me. Try what works for yourself guys, don't feed in to the whole "posture is everything" hype. Nothing against you, just needed to say this
@@Lucas-if8wt Same my posture is totally fine but my middle trap hurts it does when i try to focus and play full focus and i move my mouse a lot i dont understand why i didnt have this before ever.
@Vortex hey what did you do? what kind of treatment did you have?
I also found out it’s just tight traps. Turning my head left to right stretching traps helped more than posture. I’m not dealing with pain and numbness anymore.
@Vortex thanks man! i'll check it
I'm so grateful to have found this video! Constant pain for months when I was sitting. Chin tucks and looking at my posture in a mirror as I worked solved my problem in one afternoon. I've been doing this for 14 days now and haven't felt any pain at all.
I needed this topic so bad, thank you for bringing up this topic. I have been dealing with trapezius pain for years.
Thank you so much! I was in pain daily I mean nearly hospitalized but for you guys and these easy steps helped me stay out of the hospital! The skills i learned I shared with my family and friends, thanks docs for helping me!
Thank you for sharing your story !
Anyone in Lockdowns🤗 may you get rid of your pain☺
@@bonnienadinenewman welcome bro.. I will pray for you💓
How it can be cured😪😪
@@sp8602 bro take Inflamatix 100 ml, Tablets Neuberol forte and Dowfen Gel.. tablets one morning time and one night time and use the gel on infected part
Link to device please 🙏
The tennis ball saved me . I had such pain from my trapp. I do the tennis ball treatment every day.
Perfect timing! Thank you.
Bad posture is definitely what’s giving my pain in my shoulders. I need to try these techniques for straightening out my posture. Thanks!!
Traps often get sore when it is stretched out too much due to your neck and shoulder going forward. So you need to target those muscles that bring your neck and shoulders like pec SCM and even Rotator cuffs in order to fix the problem permenantly.
You’re so right about the posture. Thank u for this video. You guys are awesome. Thx for sharing the chin tucks. I gotta get a deflated ball...rolling around the tennis ball feels awesome
You guys are amazing ! Your every video guides so well, is fun and totally works ! :) This happened the second time that the pain cured for me right away! You guys motivate people to do it the right way! Thank you
Brad, the way you carry that backpack so expertly makes me think you could be America's first man on Mars 👍👩🚀
"Houston, we have a problem...in the upper traps."
I appreciate this channel SO much. Thanks for everything you do
Going through traps soreness now, upper right side and it even hurts when I turn my head. I had to stop training for this week (jiu jitsu) and im just resting but i will start doing the tennis ball thing as soon as I get home tonight. Thank you for sharing this!
Hi did you get any relief ?
First it was my sciatic nerve and days ago my Trapezius muscles are screaming with pain and in knots. Binge watching all of your videos. Thank you.
This video saved me. I’ve been paranoid because my neck pains for months now and I even thought it was my lymph nodes that are swollen until I learned about the trapezius muscle. I am really immobile, I just lay all day and watch on my phone. I barely move so I realized it was the problem.
I needed this help, thank- you guys..
Thanks for all the help 😊
I pulled one of my traps minorly last week and wow the worst pain in my life I couldn't move even a centimeter this help so much thank you
One of your best. Thanks!
Thanks for the info.
Thank You for showing the desk and sharing the link! 👍🏼
awesome information as always!
Thanks for these tips.
you guys are great! thank you!
What perfect timing of your video on traps. Am having so many issues with my upper traps now. Have one of those Varidesks at work, but unfortunately it doesn't go high enough for me--I end up looking down at my computer monitors and that kills my neck. Anyway, overall good tips. Thanks.
Man, Brad is looking beefy.
You guys are the best. Really. Best regards from the middle-aged disabled lady. I’m one in a million Stiff Person Syndrome patient.
Your tennis ball for hump has changed my life. I was injured in a wreck and had it within 3 weeks following . No dr would help. The exercise released my shoulder after 4 years. After a week the hump is gone but I'm left with trap pain that's horrendous. I can feel it creep up to tense up. Can't wait to try these exercises. It is extremely hard to extend my head back or up. I have till January till I see a Dr and I hope I can heal lots and be ready for my neck surgery.
this is the best channel for me, an athlete who commonly gets a lot of injuries. Everytime I get injured, I go here. I got injured on my knees, back, shoulders, and now my traps 😅 (I work a lot)- Got these injuries in a span of 10 years on different sports
Great video
Excellent techniques & demonstrations. Works for me 🍅🍓🍒🍎
Slight scoliosis can cause problems in that area as well. I use a heat pad similar to theirs and a shiatsu massager. Those help tremendously
I have a slight scoliosis and my traps often burn and when its not traps burning usually the bottom of my skull/top o the neck around suboccipital muscles really hurt almost sending headaches. Care to elaborate, please? I think it might help :)
@@ccorsen6467
You explained that better than I have ever been able to. Thank you
I cannot believe I just discovered this channel now! I love those guys
Great addition of showing the muscle graphic, thank you!
Wow! that IS what’s been bothering me. How did you know?
Thanks, you are legends
thank you guys. my life depends on it since imma boxer, my head used to hang out & neck was stressed but after the exercise, the stress has reduced. do you recommend this exercise daily?????
You guys aren't my style, but I thoroughly enjoy your banter and solid information. Posts like this show that you don't have to style mesh to vibe. 100
I love you guys!
And once again i have to thank you guys. Years ago a video of yours helped me get rid of the backpain i had for more than a week.
Now, it was my left trap that was hurting since march 5th.
Just 2 times of using the tennisball and i'm pain free.
I did use them on the bed, so it was a bit softer, but nevertheless you guys saved me from hurting once again.
Thank you Thank you Thank you🌞
I always come to this channel when I have a migraine. I instantly feel a little better when I hear their jingle. Where can I get one of those t shirts, Brad?
I'd love to see a video of your thoughts on the electronic posture corrector devices! The little ones that vibrate if you slouch
I realised my posture is way too bad and thats the reason my traps pain like hell and are sore all the time. This video really helped me.
Thank you
Thank you sir
Yes sir my right side of my traps been killing me for years still trying to get rid of the pain. Deep muscle massage only thing really helps but it's like a bandaid only helps for so long before in pain again.
Same issue - a knot in my right - mid trap that never goes away for long. I've learned to stretch it by doing that weird twist action with a wall, and a shiatsu massager. only lasts a day or two. I've had the pain for 14 years and can't seem to fix it. So irritating.
Same :(
Same on my left side
bruh i got the same thing i be having chest numbness n sht
@@shannon4078 stretch everyday and weight train
I’m currently in PT and my therapist uses all these techniques. They work!! The only thing else I can say is try the KT tape to help posture support!! Great job showing all the tricks bob and brad!
Omg ypu just saved my one month pain in just 5 min thanks tennis ball really helped and it shows magic in just 5 min
Chin tucks. Works for me! Thanks guys.
I have a lot of problems with my thoracic it burns like fire. Also I have spondylolisthesis 2 level. So I don't know if I should do something like that having spondylolisthesis but I do know about keeping your posture of your body up and in straight position in your head, sometimes it just radiates pain back and forth. Please tell me any suggestions from the both of them. Thank you guys!
These guys deserve all the money in the world, real heroes
These are great exercises and I really appreciate the info - my upper back is always tight!
You're welcome!
Hi bob and brad, in 5 days I am going to have a meniscectomy. Considering the fact that it was a bucket handle tear and there is a chance to have a discoid meniscus, how much time should I wait before I back to swuat heavy?
This is a chronic pain for me, it initially happened when I was laying on my back doing airplane with my son on my feet, it’s a lot of pain and it seems to be triggered for no reason now
Your link for the thermotex below your video does not show any unit that is worn like a back pack as the one is in the video. Did you somehow modify the thermotex or can you clarify which one to purchase?
I have this constantly after every upper body workout, riding a bike even. (Due to my bad posture and muscle weakness related to it). My question is: Will this put me at a risk of an injury or can I push through with my workout (mainly pull ups) and just stretch out, massage in between workouts. Correcting my posture and strengthening scapular muscles at the same time. Or should I rather just ditch working out all together and just focus on correcting my posture (I would very much like to not do that.) Thank you anyone for answering.
I recently became a fan of you guys. You got great chemistry! *Subbed*
That intro jingle though...🤣🤣🤣🤣 (Lol I actually like it.)
Thanks, guys for the cool info. my right trap is in bad pain right now. I have C6/C7 ablation in the morning! :)
Could explain, what kind of muscles work during chin tucks?
Laying in bed staring at my phone is what caused my pain last night.
What are your thoughts on using a foam roller to do these same exercises? Obviously the tennis ball gets deeper in there. I have a lot of inflammation so if I try massage or rolling the ball around I get inflamed but if I do more of pressure and let it sit in a spot 30 seconds I do find relief with that but I love my foam roller!!!
I did t see the back heating pad on the Thermotex website - do they still make it?
The world would fall into obscurity with these two!!!
I think your spot on about the posture thing . You don’t even notice your doing it
Where can you buy that exact thermotex (?) heating device for the back?
Gotta love the intro! Feels like a sitcom. Haha!
Have had decades of pain in specific area of right traps around scapula. It now seems permanent.. I had a gymnastics accident aged around 10, could it be possible that I've got spinal nerve damage?
I've got really REALLY bad upper neck pain especially when I cycle and the knots it feels like the Himalayas, I've gone to the doctors and the NHS physio says "oh that's just stress" , I can't for one second believe my really stiff cracking neck and knotted traps are "just stress" !?!?
Hey Guys. Another great video. I'm curious about the Thermotex Infrared Heating System "back pack" that Brad is wearing. I went to their website, but don't see it. Could you tell be exactly what it is called or a model number so that I can call them. Thanks and keep up the good work!
🚨🛑👀Hi, guys. What kind of Thermotex Platinum is that one? The all purposes one? Are they still coming with the STRAPS? Thanks.
will the foam roll work in replacement for the ball?
Trapezius both side hurt and it hurt worst when i stand long for work it also make me feel tired .
I’m a COTA and love your videos! Thanks, guys!
Ohhh snap.....look at the guns of brad !! At his age he is having such guns..... amazing !!
Lol! I just noticed that! 😂😂😂
Yea, they both look so great. I have no clue how old they are but you can tell they take such great care of themselves. Very inspiring to desk jockeys like myself.
How do the straps go on like that to where you can wear it on your back?
Experience this alot in my kneck and head
Hi, you guys...thank you! I cannot find the exact thermotex heater that you are using...the link is broken and I can't find it anywhere else. Help! :)
Same, can’t find it
My shoulder knots is causeing refured pain to head and face. It suck trying to sleep with that going on.
what is the back pack strap thing you guys wear for your traps?
I wish I could afford that heating pad! Holy moly. I have chronic neck and shoulder pain with headaches daily. My posture is complete garbage, do you recommend a brace for bad posture at all? I try to keep up with the stretches but my neck is so weak.👎
For those who believe in natural living, I am learning a lot from this dynamic duo. Glad I subd.
I used to one strap my backpack when going to uni, lots of weight on my right trap and shoulder. The muscles are vrry stiff on my right side, my right arm definitely is more stiff when I walk compared to my left arm swinging.
Pain in left upper trapeziums so intense it is causing nausea. what can I do?
I use the tennis ball in the wall and use that to rub in the area affected. Best thing for sore traps
Since car accident in 2018 ; when I lay on my back ( left trap & side of chest under arms ) I get a numbing/achy/slight burning feeling that gets relieved by stretching and of course getting off that muscle. This gets triggered when I put pressure on to it. Lately rarely does it just ache or give me the tiniest feeling that it’s super sensitive to the touch. Don’t know if it’s getting better with another years time. But I’ll try these exercises, the two PT’s and MRI’s I’ve had done has not given me my life back and my patience is starting to wear out. 😣 #mentallytired
Same with you, I've got this pain from car accident 2 years ago. The pain is excruciating. I Can't sleep well every night. I Can't sitting for too long because the pain will flare up. Everyday i live in agony. I hate this :(
Sucks is about every year I go through a month of so of just back pain that seems I need to adjust my chair. I do then its all out of whack. I figure is something else. Trying the posture thing though.
I have 2 bulging disc in my neck and a condition called myofascial syndrome disorder. My neck and traps are always inflamed. I use to get trigger point injections until the last one I received made my lung collapse. So I had to learn new ways to cope with the pain. No more needles just relax practice your breathing while you stretch
Whoa how does that even happen? The lung collapse, I mean
I am constantly stiff and sore in this area.
I get a pulled trap on the regular, just doing... nothing! In fact, I woke up Jan 1 in horrible pain and unable to move much. (That should have been a big hint at how 2020 was going to go!) It always seems to happen when I’ve been lying down. I guess it could be posture, although I do try to sit up straight when I’m working. I guess I’m guilty like everyone else of craning my neck to jack with my phone... like now. 😊 Thanks, Bob and Brad!
Sir I have pain in my trapezius muscle pain . I am taking medicine and doing stretching but no relief and it*s not hurt while rotating my neck
Any tips for posture when riding in a van?
I used to lift heavy stuff and now I have this sharp popping strain in my right trap. It's been ongoing for a month. It reaggrevates when I stand and do repetitive motions for too long
Is it fine now?
@@asifmohd9177 it's only aggravated when standing for long periods of time or working after like 4 hours. I was a cashier and using repetitive motions triggered it after a while. Physical therapy didn't really help. It just takes time
I find,when I do the chin tuck, I get sharp localized pain in my right lower trap. I do have knots there from too much snow shovelling coupled with bad posture and iPad usage.Do I need to get rid of these knots b4 doing these exercises or will these exercises help loosen the knots.I find heat helps loosen them.But recently,after working for a few hrs, I will develope occipital headaches which are terrible.HELP
In addition to my previous post..when I do feel that sharp pain it’s like there is a string attached to the base of my skull and to the knot area in my lower trap.Move my head in certain positions ie chin tuck...the pain is there.Im assuming the neck is the problem and the trap the trigger?
My right back trap hurts when im tense it burns and a long lump pops up on the sore spot ive tried massaging it out but doesn't go away I've had this for about 20 years...so painful
Hi guys! I’m just finding this video and am currently lit up with trap pain. I have an autoimmune and I made the mistake of carrying heavy stuff. This is a chronic problem, any tips for decreasing the pain immediately? Heat, arnica gel, thayers, pain patches. Nothing touches it. NSAIDs are bad fir auto immune. Owie owie owie!!! This sucks a duck! I guess I gotta wait fir it to calm down bf I can do stretches. 😭
*throws ball behind back * “I knew he was gonna do that”🤣🤣🤣🤣👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Sleeping in very soft or very hard bed mattress also effect.
