Once again absolute sound advice that makes sense and really helps. I am a housekeeper/cleaner in New ealand and you guys have helped me in more ways than you'll ever know. Anyone has a problem with their body I always recommend Bob and Brad. Hell even some of your quotes at the start have snapped things into perspective for me too. Please keep doin' what you're doin', top show, thank you, 10/10. Bob and Brad for President!.
Thank you. You guys ROCK!!! I have had chronic pain since a horse riding accident almost 20 years ago and developed tennis elbow and carpal tunnel this year. Doing your gentle stretches have helped me so much. Bless you both!
A few weeks ago I started feeling this pain in my wrist which sounded like carpal tunnel syndrome. It started after several weeks and many continuous hours hunched over my sewing machine working on multiple gowns and suits for my daughter’s wedding. After watching this video about the median nerve starting at the neck, this now makes sense that my problem is most likely at the neck. When I sew I have to use both hands/arms forward to feed the fabric into the machine and my head down and forward. It’s very different when I work on my computer where I can have the screen up at my eye height so my head/neck is straight. No other video suggested the problem could be at the neck, thanks for a great educational video - just love your work. I’m going to undertake your 3 step program, wish me luck.
thank you you much my friends. this is actually USEFUL STUFF here. no bs, no trying to sell someone desperate soul something. MUCH APPRECIATION! Giving hope to folks in need is a most commendable thing!
Interesting comments about using a splint at night. I recently had and emg/ncs and there isn’t nerve involvement. No surgery, no PT. The neuromuscular neurologist said he finds people can often improve by just wearing the splint! This was a really comprehensive video on this topic. Thanks Bob and Brad! You’re the best!
Journey with you guys begins today, I wake up in the middle of the night in so much pain in my right hand I can hardly breath, shaking and rubbing until some relief, I hope these excercises help will keep you updated.
I hope a lot of people come across your videos, it will spare them pain, time & money trying to find relief. This is about all you can do. Oh and patience, it takes time to heal.
These are really great exercises. I went to a hand doctor & they had me bend my wrists w/hands together which gave me these finger sensations, however, my elbows were bent. So this gave false readings (they didn't understand). I get issues in the winter with my fingers when my elbows are bent. So I love these exercises you showed because the elbows are not bent. This is what I needed all along. I do so much with my hands (typing, knitting, piano, brushing my dog's long hair & getting snarls out, gardening) and they really need this stretching relief. You two are the first therapists that have gotten this right with what to do. I wish I had found you 10-20 years ago when I was all cramped up from so much typing work. Pulling out files at work, especially very thick & heavy ones, really hurt my thumb & overextended it. I'm still trying to heal it.
I had CT surgery. Totally wrong surgery. Made a clicking thumb the least of my worries. My left hand, wrist, and up to elbow feel like I'm having a heart attack 24/7. Lost all muscle strength, loss of feeling (heat, cold, pressure, injuries...), and my hand is shrinking to skin on bone. Surgeon refused to see me after PT said I have permanent nerve damage from the surgery. Moral: See your attorney BEFORE any surgery.
Don’t ever get surgery if you don’t have to. I saw an ortho today due to pain in my thumb, index finger, and middle finger and he immediately said its CTS. I think the nerve pain is radiating from my neck but the dr didn’t hear me out and I am knowledgeable (a LPTA here) and he said oh we can do surgery and it will be an easy fix. He came to this conclusion after a 2 min assessment. I refuse surgery when I’m not completely sure if the problem is originating in my wrist. People please do your research. So many drs love to cut on ppl immediately. As a therapist, I’m surprised he didn’t recommend PT first. Always get a second opinion. Also noted... I’ve only been symptomatic with intermittent pain and swelling for 2 WEEKS!
Thanks for sharing this info. I nearly had surgery a couple of years ago. Osteopath diagnosed a tight pec muscle. Fixed in one session with follow up exercises similar to ones you're showing here including neck. Issue hasn't returned and my doctor was amazed :)
I suffered with ct my entire pregnancy up to today and have limited movement in my thumb. My baby is also 8 months old and it pains me that I can hardly pick her up. I thank God for this video because just doing the exercises with you 2 has brought me unimaginable relief. Bless you!!
Ngozi Nwaka I am suffering with the symptoms now and it’s making me really depressed. My husband wants us to try for a baby but I just don’t know how I am going to manage... I literally spend most of the day crying.
I've watched all your carpal tunnel videos in a row, and started doing the exercises along with you. 20 mins in, my pain has decreased considerably! Thank you, guys!
My mother is really suffering with carpal tunnel, so I will be sharing this video with her. However, what frustrates me about these self-help videos is the instructors don't usually explain how often and how long to do the exercises each day.
Thank you for the video. I have been on treatment for carpal tunnel for three months now and the pain hasn't gone away. I will incorporate these exercises.
Yes! As soon as you said it comes from way up near the neck, I knew you were onto it. My massage therapist helps, but I can only afford to do that occasionally. Now I can find relief with these stretches--thanks!
Thanks a lot Bob & Brad! You just helped another guy here in Philippines! My right hand is curling to form a claw. I thought I was like having a stroke, but when I did the simple exercise you demonstrated, man it eased the pain and numbness! Thanks a lot, more power to your channel!
Hello po taga ph din ako, ask ko lang po kung may carpal tunnel pa rin po ba kayo? Or kahit namamanhid yung apat nyong daliri? Kasi po merom po akong ganyang case ngayon e, di ko po alam kung kaya bang gamotin ng hindi inooperahan. TYIA!!❤
You’re so helpful. Working at home on the computer all day wrecks your body if you don’t move it enough or position your body correctly. Learning better ways to stay healthy with all your videos. Thank you!
Just watched several other videos on CT which never stressed the fact you are treating the nerve and not the muscle. I think everyone's tendency would be to use a lot of pressure (kind of like a gym workout where stress = results), and these other videos did NOT impress the fact these movements are to be gentle. Thank you for keeping me from getting in trouble!
I was little depressed when I was diagnosed CTS, now ur videos are going to rejuvenate my life again . Thanks , I will surely post my msg after improvement.
@@sandercaspe3653 we need to do continuous exercise. Vit B12 deficiency is part of CTS. Routine work should be avoided which involves more our hand. We can avoid surgery.

This is amazing. I haven't been able to feel two of the fingers on my left hand for a couple years, but haven't been able to get in to see anyone because of Covid restrictions. Started doing the stretches shown in this video a few days ago, and some of the sensation has already returned. You guys have helped me with a few other things along the way; you're the BEST.
@@MSAMY-gi2dy I don't count, but pretty much whenever I sit down, before I do anything else, I do a few stretches. It takes a few seconds, and I feel a LOT better.
you have just diagnosed my problem, have changed my position on here and moved the keyboard. Shall start the stretches tonight , I just knew Bob and Brad would know what to do thanks, and hope Bob is feeling better.
You guys are great! Thank you for all your awesome videos! I had a bad case of cts in both of my wrists for many months. My gp had no helpful suggestions but sent me to a hand surgeon who, surprise, surprise - immediately suggested surgery. I never went back to him but instead started wearing my wrist braces at night. I immediately noticed a positive change, no extreme pain or numbness waking me up. It took about a year, but the problem is resolved with rest and the nightly wrist stabilization, just as you were suggesting. If I have the problem again, I will also incorporate your exercises. Thanks, guys, you are great fun and educational to watch!

Oh god lol, the intro is SO tacky that it's definitely bound to create some nostalgia at some point for someone to think of one day lol. Great video guys!
You have helped my situation significantly. Because of this stupid overreaction to a virus,I can't get to see a doctor for months. I was unable to work, I tried. Streaching but no results after weeks. By following this video for a week, I'm back to light work I can't thank you enough .
I'm so grateful to you men! Once again, I have a pain (carpal tunnel) and your expertise helped me immediately! I didn't have a towel handy so I used my opposite hand to press down on my 1st rib area like Bob did, and the pain instantly stopped! I'm going to do everything you suggested in this video including buying a brace to sleep in. Many prayers to you Bob and blessings to you both!!
Thanks so much you guys are truly my heros. Yes yes and yes I'm a musician bass player I was so panicked when this pain on my wrist began Yes I sleep with my wrist curled under my chin, the pain was scaring me, I called doctor they wanted to give me shots but I had those before for my feet and I wanted to die passed out from the pain of those shots. Thank you thank you thank you I started the stretches and immediately i began to feel relief 67 yrs old and still rocking my bass thanks again
This was great information. My hands and wrists have been hurting a while now and Primary Care doc says I have CTS. I've always believed it originated from my neck because I spent 30 years hunched over a desk and my neck shoulders have been paying for it. After this video you’ve validated my thoughts about the neck playing a part in my CTS. Thanks and I love your videos and watch them regularly.
I agree. After going to a chiropractor, I found I had a pinched neck nerve. He fixed it and the hand/wrist issue went away. (I also had electrical tingles down my arm & I knew they didn't come from my wrist.)
Getting a specially made splint was the best thing for me for sleeping at night. Before that, I could only get 4 hours sleep and then be awake in excruciating pain for hours after. Even several codeines wouldn't take the pain. away. I got the surgery not long after, but have carpal tunnel in the other wrist now. It's not as severe, so I will try the stretches and watch the other videos. Thanks guys!
Brad and Bob are the real MVP’s👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I didn’t have to make an appt., pay a $40 co-pay after burning $30 in gas, fill out twenty-two pages of unnecessary paperwork, wait three hours in an overcrowded waiting room, then relocated to a freezing chartreuse green 2x2 cubical and forced to put on a gown (backwards), wait another hour freezing in the buff so I can be probed, prodded, and ELECTROCUTED, by their painful “carpal-tunnel detector”. After all this, my parting gift was a $478 wrist-brace that I could have purchased at Sam Waltons Gates of Hell for $20. And not one utterance of any available carpel-tunnel exercises. BOB....🏆... BRAD....🏆 Thanx
I was crying like a big, fat baby over my hand pain and found this video...Going to do these every day! I am too stubborn and busy to get surgery! Severe pain is killing me and I need it to go away!!
Thanks a lot guys! These exercises really helped me out. I'm a guitar player studying music performance in university, so my CT really gets in the way on a bad day
Thank you! Thank you! This crap has made my life hell and I thought the only way to get comfort was surgery, which is not an option for me to be off of work for the recovery. I already have relief from doing these exercises. You guys are amazing!!!!!!
That’s just what I needed to know, I had a feeling it was CTS , now I know, I’ve got all the symptomS, pins and needles, pain etc. thanks you start doing the exercises right now!
Had to sub and like and screenshot this vid because I was experiencing this pain in my forearm at night for the past few days and came across this vid after hearing about how carpal tunnel was a meme about gamers. I tried their stretches they recommended (without doing the nerve stretch) and this literally made the pain go away in like seconds no lie. I thought I was having like a heart attack or something because of the arm pain but as it turns out this is definitely carpal tunnel. Thank you both for this. It’s 2AM at the time of writing this and it’s really relieving to get some real help from someone other than Google telling me a bunch of different things. 👌💖💖
I'm a massage therapist and I recently got symptoms of carpal tunnel. These exercises work, also I attend yoga three to 4 times a week. It's working for now. Hands are no longer numbing at night or during massages.
I have to thank you for your videos on cervical nerve issues and carpel tunnel syndrome. At 61 years old I went to a Chiropractor for the first time 8 weeks ago for some mild lower back pain. He adjusted my back but whet he got up to the C7 and above area I now have pain and numbness in my right hand and before finding your videos the arm and arm/hand pain was literally unbearable. Here in Las Vegas NV we are very limited on quality specialized medical care. So after finding and doing your videos and doing the stretches and flossing for the last 3 weeks, the daytime pain is gone. My only concern is the numbness in 1/2 of my ring finger and middle finger has not gone away and my hand strength is starting to diminish. Not sure where to go from here except for nerve shots.. But long story short Thank You for getting me as far as you have.
Thanks a lot. I am planning for a surgery. But after watching your video on how to avoid surgery , i will follow your advice first and don these 3 steps of exercise. You are both helping too many people. God bless you both.
I love your videos. I haven't found anything out there that even compares. You both do a great job of explaining the issues and the process of doing different stretches from beginning to more advanced. You even include nuanced specifics that can help explain things to those that have specific issues. I completely trust your information and I even found your messager on Amazon and it made my decision on purchasing one super easy. I'm very grateful for both of you! Great information!
Subscription done ✔. I am suffering for CTS since 5 months and under medication since 2 months. After doing your stretching exercises I am feeling much much better and I can work without any pain. Thanks to both of you
Thank you so much! I have been suffering from this condition since the mid of 2016 and today I have found the right exercises to ease my pain. It felt so good doing your stretches and I will continue doing them and will update on it.
I have carpel tunnel in both wrists! Nobody ever told me that it comes from my neck that I actually have big problems with! Thank you for sharing this information, I will definitely try the exercises! I am trying to avoid a operation, as I know the operation does not last long from friends and a family member who was operated on! I love your videos!! Kind regards from South Africa 🥰🌻
Would be helpful to give a summary at the end of the video as a refresher to what you just told us. It's a lot of info to absorb in 5 minutes. Thank you!
Thank you both. This was so helpful. I've had all sorts of physiotherapy and consultant intervention and your advice made more sense than all of them put together. I've been in so much pain for months now and haven't got close to sleeping for about 5 nights in a row due to the pain; what you said made complete sense, I'd never seen those exercises before and I could feel the muscles releasing slightly in the few movements as I followed along with you. Your advice alongside carpal tunnel kinesiology taping has this morning made a massive difference to the constant torture of the pain I'm in. Thank you so so much from across the pond in the UK.
thank you so much. this helped me a lot. i was afraid that i would have to live with this pain all the time when drawing. and i draw 8-10 hours a day. thank you so much for the help.
Thanks a lot, that’s an amazing video guide. I am gonna try those exercises explained. Even I tried some of them while watching and felt relieved. Thanks once again 🥰
like your stuff guys on carpal tunnel. I also use a soft ball and squeeze the ball singly with 1 finger and work across squeezing continually and then squeeze with all fingers, Individually each finger squeeze is held for 5sec with a rest in between. All finger squeeze is same time. Reps: whatever your limitations are.
Thanks so much for sharing. I have a lot of pain from years of CTS and only use chiropractors but they did not start with the neck and upper arm, but with the wrist moving up to the neck. What you are saying makes more sense. Just this morning I starter having pain in the bend of my elbow which won't give in even with ibuprofen. I'm going to start using your exercises with care and trust that they will lessen the pain.
Thank you! Ive been having issues and getting ready to seek PT help but now I will try your strategies for a while to see if it i proves. Love you guys! Keep providing such good information.
You guys have helped me so much. I had a jammed finger and now this from playing guitar and your videos have helped me get right back into it so quickly. Life savers
thank you folks so much! this is really helpful while i’m waiting to get an appointment with a doctor to get my pain looked at. appreciate what you do :)

thanks guys not just for the exercises (which helped) but also the peace of mind. tingling fingers can be worrying!
Thanks so much, guys. I always enjoy your bantering style but most of all, your results-getting instructional videos!
Oh god lol, the intro is SO tacky that it's definitely bound to create some nostalgia at some point for someone to think of one day lol. Great video guys!
vaudeville!!!
Absolutely loved this video. Thank you so much for this valuable information. Lots of love from an Australian 🇦🇺❤
You have helped my situation significantly. Because of this stupid overreaction to a virus,I can't get to see a doctor for months. I was unable to work, I tried. Streaching but no results after weeks. By following this video for a week, I'm back to light work I can't thank you enough .
kings saving my career nothing but love and support xx
I'm so grateful to you men!
Once again, I have a pain (carpal tunnel) and your expertise helped me immediately!
I didn't have a towel handy so I used my opposite hand to press down on my 1st rib area like Bob did, and the pain instantly stopped!
I'm going to do everything you suggested in this video including buying a brace to sleep in.
Many prayers to you Bob and blessings to you both!!
Thanks so much you guys are truly my heros. Yes yes and yes I'm a musician bass player I was so panicked when this pain on my wrist began Yes I sleep with my wrist curled under my chin, the pain was scaring me, I called doctor they wanted to give me shots but I had those before for my feet and I wanted to die passed out from the pain of those shots. Thank you thank you thank you I started the stretches and immediately i began to feel relief 67 yrs old and still rocking my bass thanks again
This was great information. My hands and wrists have been hurting a while now and Primary Care doc says I have CTS. I've always believed it originated from my neck because I spent 30 years hunched over a desk and my neck shoulders have been paying for it. After this video you’ve validated my thoughts about the neck playing a part in my CTS. Thanks and I love your videos and watch them regularly.
I agree. After going to a chiropractor, I found I had a pinched neck nerve. He fixed it and the hand/wrist issue went away. (I also had electrical tingles down my arm & I knew they didn't come from my wrist.)
Getting a specially made splint was the best thing for me for sleeping at night. Before that, I could only get 4 hours sleep and then be awake in excruciating pain for hours after. Even several codeines wouldn't take the pain. away. I got the surgery not long after, but have carpal tunnel in the other wrist now. It's not as severe, so I will try the stretches and watch the other videos. Thanks guys!
I’m very grateful for these videos and to these doctors who share their knowledge with the world. That’s awesome. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. 😘😘😘
How are u feeling now
Not doctors, physiotherapist.
You just got a new subscriber from germany ( studing physiotherapy myself )
You guys are sympathic in an instant :)
Brad and Bob are the real MVP’s👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I didn’t have to make an appt., pay a $40 co-pay after burning $30 in gas, fill out twenty-two pages of unnecessary paperwork, wait three hours in an overcrowded waiting room, then relocated to a freezing chartreuse green 2x2 cubical and forced to put on a gown (backwards), wait another hour freezing in the buff so I can be probed, prodded, and ELECTROCUTED, by their painful “carpal-tunnel detector”.
After all this, my parting gift was a $478 wrist-brace that I could have purchased at Sam Waltons Gates of Hell
for $20. And not one utterance of any available carpel-tunnel exercises.
BOB....🏆... BRAD....🏆 Thanx
Gina, well thought out synopsis of actual truth. Thank you...
sayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy whaaaaaaaaaaaaat !!!!!!!!!!!
OMG what a flashback!!! the breathing exercise took me back to my doctors office when she said breathe with your gut. spot on sirs ;)
Thanks for posting this video. I saw my PCP & he told me to say, “No” to surgery. He referred me to Physical Medicine so I have an appt next Friday.
Any update of ur hand and wrist?.. do u still have cts?
@@sandercaspe3653 , I went to OT & they helped me. I have a wrist brace I wear at night.
I was crying like a big, fat baby over my hand pain and found this video...Going to do these every day! I am too stubborn and busy to get surgery! Severe pain is killing me and I need it to go away!!
Thanks a lot guys! These exercises really helped me out. I'm a guitar player studying music performance in university, so my CT really gets in the way on a bad day
How are you doing now Alex?
I just figured out today what was causing all this pain and numbness. Thank so much for this very helpful video!
Mutt and Jeff at their best!!! Thank you guys!
I got the surgery on both hands and it was actually the best thing I've done .
Is there a scar afterwards??? Time to recover??? Does insurance cover it?
Then this video isn't meant for you.
Thank you! Thank you! This crap has made my life hell and I thought the only way to get comfort was surgery, which is not an option for me to be off of work for the recovery. I already have relief from doing these exercises. You guys are amazing!!!!!!
Hello sir, do u still have this syndrome? How was ur wrist and fingers? TYIA!!
Bless you guys. Have just started going through this painful "wakeup" and now I know what to work on. Thanks!!
Blessings and thanks this adds to what I did to heap naturally..keep sharing natural ways to heal..
That’s just what I needed to know, I had a feeling it was CTS , now I know, I’ve got all the symptomS, pins and needles, pain etc. thanks you start doing the exercises right now!
Had to sub and like and screenshot this vid because I was experiencing this pain in my forearm at night for the past few days and came across this vid after hearing about how carpal tunnel was a meme about gamers. I tried their stretches they recommended (without doing the nerve stretch) and this literally made the pain go away in like seconds no lie. I thought I was having like a heart attack or something because of the arm pain but as it turns out this is definitely carpal tunnel. Thank you both for this. It’s 2AM at the time of writing this and it’s really relieving to get some real help from someone other than Google telling me a bunch of different things. 👌💖💖
I'm a massage therapist and I recently got symptoms of carpal tunnel. These exercises work, also I attend yoga three to 4 times a week. It's working for now. Hands are no longer numbing at night or during massages.
How's you doing now?
I have to thank you for your videos on cervical nerve issues and carpel tunnel syndrome. At 61 years old I went to a Chiropractor for the first time 8 weeks ago for some mild lower back pain. He adjusted my back but whet he got up to the C7 and above area I now have pain and numbness in my right hand and before finding your videos the arm and arm/hand pain was literally unbearable. Here in Las Vegas NV we are very limited on quality specialized medical care. So after finding and doing your videos and doing the stretches and flossing for the last 3 weeks, the daytime pain is gone. My only concern is the numbness in 1/2 of my ring finger and middle finger has not gone away and my hand strength is starting to diminish. Not sure where to go from here except for nerve shots.. But long story short Thank You for getting me as far as you have.
Thanks!
thanks! Positive vibes sent your way!!
Bob
Thank you! I started feeling relief as soon as I fixed my posture
Thank y'all so much. I really appreciate your time and intelligence giving out this free, much needed information.
Thanks a lot. I am planning for a surgery. But after watching your video on how to avoid surgery , i will follow your advice first and don these 3 steps of exercise. You are both helping too many people. God bless you both.
I love your videos. I haven't found anything out there that even compares. You both do a great job of explaining the issues and the process of doing different stretches from beginning to more advanced. You even include nuanced specifics that can help explain things to those that have specific issues. I completely trust your information and I even found your messager on Amazon and it made my decision on purchasing one super easy. I'm very grateful for both of you! Great information!
Thanks to both of you, I've kearned new excercises for CTS.
Subscription done ✔. I am suffering for CTS since 5 months and under medication since 2 months. After doing your stretching exercises I am feeling much much better and I can work without any pain. Thanks to both of you
Thank you so much! I have been suffering from this condition since the mid of 2016 and today I have found the right exercises to ease my pain. It felt so good doing your stretches and I will continue doing them and will update on it.
I have carpel tunnel in both wrists! Nobody ever told me that it comes from my neck that I actually have big problems with! Thank you for sharing this information, I will definitely try the exercises! I am trying to avoid a operation, as I know the operation does not last long from friends and a family member who was operated on! I love your videos!! Kind regards from South Africa 🥰🌻
Hi, how was ur wirsts now?
Would be helpful to give a summary at the end of the video as a refresher to what you just told us. It's a lot of info to absorb in 5 minutes. Thank you!
Where have you been all my life fellas? So pleased to have found your brilliant info, humour’s not bad either. 👌💪😀
You two men are the best. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.🧡
I will start these stretches today. I am already wearing a brace at night. I am a quilter and I spend a lot of time at my sewing machine.
2 years later....are you still able to quilt??
Bob & Brad -- Always straight forward trustworthy advice... ;-) Thank you.
Thank you both. This was so helpful. I've had all sorts of physiotherapy and consultant intervention and your advice made more sense than all of them put together. I've been in so much pain for months now and haven't got close to sleeping for about 5 nights in a row due to the pain; what you said made complete sense, I'd never seen those exercises before and I could feel the muscles releasing slightly in the few movements as I followed along with you. Your advice alongside carpal tunnel kinesiology taping has this morning made a massive difference to the constant torture of the pain I'm in. Thank you so so much from across the pond in the UK.
How have your hands been a year+ after posting this?
The content you guys produce is fanatstic. I can't thank you enough!
Cannulae
Oh my gravy! Those stretches felt great!!!! Thank you so much!!!
thank you so much. this helped me a lot. i was afraid that i would have to live with this pain all the time when drawing. and i draw 8-10 hours a day. thank you so much for the help.
Thanks a lot, that’s an amazing video guide. I am gonna try those exercises explained. Even I tried some of them while watching and felt relieved. Thanks once again 🥰
like your stuff guys on carpal tunnel. I also use a soft ball and squeeze the ball singly with 1 finger and work across squeezing continually and then squeeze with all fingers, Individually each finger squeeze is held for 5sec with a rest in between. All finger squeeze is same time. Reps: whatever your limitations are.
Thanks so much for sharing. I have a lot of pain from years of CTS and only use chiropractors but they did not start with the neck and upper arm, but with the wrist moving up to the neck. What you are saying makes more sense. Just this morning I starter having pain in the bend of my elbow which won't give in even with ibuprofen. I'm going to start using your exercises with care and trust that they will lessen the pain.
Thank you so much to both of you. I will try this for sure and I will let you the effect of this exercise with me. Again Thanks.
Thank you! Ive been having issues and getting ready to seek PT help but now I will try your strategies for a while to see if it i proves. Love you guys! Keep providing such good information.
You guys have helped me so much. I had a jammed finger and now this from playing guitar and your videos have helped me get right back into it so quickly. Life savers
You folks are doing gods work. 🙏
Always my go to guys for self help physical therapy.
Thank You Very Much For Sharing, Brad And
Bob 🙏💗 🙏💗
thank you folks so much! this is really helpful while i’m waiting to get an appointment with a doctor to get my pain looked at. appreciate what you do :)
