Everytime anyone in my family gets muscle pains or spasms, the first thing I do is say, "Hold on, let me find you a Brad and Bob episode". You guys are constantly fixing us up. I've gotten quite an education from you two. A thumbs up just doesn't seem like a sufficient thank you.
They’ve been on for years and yet they bring the same vigor and personality to every single video. I can literally watch for hours.
Here here!
You must have allot of pain 😅
@Arturo’s Michelangeli you don't have sense of humour, that's a problem you won't be able to fix I'm afraid
The chemistry of these two is fantastic.
Every time I hurt myself these guys tell me how to unhurt myself. 😂
I swear.
I literally just told my husband we have to find these guys on TH-cam for his back pain for that same reason 😂❤❤❤

A true pleasure to watch you two guys compliment each other so well. I've been watching all your videos, which has given me a lot of inspiration being a PT myself. Thanks a lot and hope to see you continue the great job you are doing!
You guys have drastically improved pain that I thought might never go away. Thank you so much!
I appreciate what you're doing for people. I hurt my mid-back shoveling snow a few weeks ago. Stooping over, especially if twisting at the same time, caused a lot of sharp discomfort (ie. getting in and out of my car or even pushing up from a chair). I found you gentlemen, watched a few of your videos, listened to how you explained the treatments and gave it a try. I used the "sitting-up-straight rotation movement" and I could tell quickly that something beneficial was happening. Today, I did the rotation a couple for of sets left & right, once more finding results. This is really working for me. I'll be careful with my back, so it has time to heal, plus, I will continue this rotation therapy until it does heal. Then I'll get back into moderate exercise and strength training. Thanks to you both.
You guys are a God sent ; you explain and demonstrate where and what the pain is , symptoms and probable causes. You helped me a lot with my upper back muscle spasms with your simple exercices Thank you very much !
I've been watching your videos for any specific pain I get over the years and I've found a lot of relief. Recently I am having mid back pain and I watched your video a few days back, but frankly didn't have time to follow it because of hectic work. Yesterday this back pain again struck me and worst part is I had to make a presentation to a client in half an hour. On the way to the client place I just put my water bottle on the car seat (instead of the ball) and did the same stretches. I got immediate relief from the pain and had one worry out of my mind before the presentation. Thank you so much for your service and efforts.... you and Dr. Mendel have contributed lot in the improvement of my health.
You guys never fail to help my aches and pains. Thank you so so much this is a great gift
Thank you Bob and Brad suffered a lot and thinking of acupuncture but your exercises have helped transform my situation! Thank you both SO MUCH !
Great video guys as always. High quality ebp material and superb demonstration. As a pt and chiropractor I often come to back to your channel to see what you recommend on what I'm dealing with.
Your videos are informative, interesting and so very helpful. You have been such a blessing to me and my family. Whenever we have twinges and pains, I start binge-watching you 2 until we can get things figured out. You have helped us with so many issues! THANK YOU and God bless.
Love you guys. Any time something hurts I always have to check with Bob and Brad to see what to do! Big fan!
I’m a dental assistant and this helped my locked up ribs a lot! Thank you
Hi Bob and Brad. Thank you so much for these exercises .They are very helpful for my pain. Best wishes to you both.
Thank you so much! I've used your site for multiple different kinds of injuries over the years and you guys have always done a great job describing how to work out using physical therapy to relieve pain. Many thanks Marc
This is a big help! Thank you for these stretching exercises. This really helps!
You guys are fabulous. Not only do you fix every single problem we have, by you are also so funny! I love watching you! Prayers for Bob!
It’s 3:00 AM and I haven’t been able to sleep at all due to thoracic back pain from my poor posture and sitting for extended periods of time typing for work. My awesome wife told me about your channel a few years ago. I revisited the channel tonight and learned about these exercises which gave me significant relief quickly. I thank you so much for all that you and your team offer! You’ve helped me feel much better.
Thank you. These exercises really help. You guys are great !
Thank you doctors for the advice and for doing a great job explaining back pain.
Just hearing these guys and learning from them makes me feel so much better. Thank you
These guys are invaluable. You nailed my problem with the pain going around the rib cage as well.
Legit, I look up videos all the time for my pain (I do a lot of physical work), legit you guys are really good. Several of your videos have become my regular pain routine!
I'm a retired orthodontic assistant , the posture I had to maintain was just horrible. Began seeing a chiropractor because my posture threw my gait off leaning always to one side while working on patients. I suffer with thoracic and neck pain, had to leave my job initially because of carpal tunnel, thumb and wrist arthritis... after 35 years I just couldn't do it anymore. I had been into fitness my entire life and took yoga which allowed me to last as long as I did. Many nights at the end of my career I would come home in tears from pain... I continue to do muscle strengthening exercises that help tremendously.... Now I continue just to function ...
Thank you to no end!!!!. I started these Sunday night and feel a lot better. You guys are beyond awesome
When he said the pain raps around your body .... I felt that!!
My audio was fine. Thanks for all the good ideas. I use to be paralyzed on my left side and due to my weakness have a lot of discomfort. I find exercising helps to get things to feel better.
Your video means a lot to me. When everyone just says it's a rare case, you explained how to heal it.
This was magical. I’ve been in pain for the last two days. These movements have made all the difference. Thank you!
I've been in agony since Monday, after pulling something in my thoracic spine doing DIY. I've been off work because I've barely been able to move, and I'm hunched with pain radiating across my rib cage, making it difficult to take deep breaths. I just tried the first of the exercises you've detailed in this video, and already the pain has narrowed back towards the center of my spine, and lessened in severity. I'm standing almost completely upright. I'll be doing this every hour or two over the weekend. Thank you so much Bob and Brad! I honestly can't thank you enough for this advice. These exercises have done more than prescription pain medication ever could!
Thank you and God bless 😇 Watching your video really helps me a lot on my upper back pain relief.
Thank you! Informative and helpful!
Thank you! I just tried the exercise, and I could feel the stretch localizing to the middle of spine. I have been suffering with debilitating thoracic pain for more than eight years. It was progessing so I was having trouble breathing and spasms would spread all over my body. I finally got a nerve ablation, and that has given me my life back, but it is temporary, and I still fear the day of the returning pain. Any exercise that helps me stay loose and pain free is appreciated more than you can imagine. Keep up your great work!
OMG! Thank you guys so much! This morning I pulled something in my back trying to move my baby around and I needed help quickly! The pain was so bad that I felt like going to urgent care. However, with having a baby here it's impossible. So, I immediately went to TH-cam for advice and stumbled on this video. I tried the techniques and it worked! Again thank you!!
Great Blessing. Have weak back (and had surgery 30+ years ago. Now forced into a job with plenty lifting. Needed!!!
so glad guys like you guys exist. I had chiropractic adjustment 5 months ago mid back and neck hvla for my lumbar pain(still don"t have the answer why that person adjusted my mid back and neck for lumbar pain)?!!! it resulted in severe pain in my mid back up and down mostly right side radiated all the way to my neck and headaches, dizziness, tingling to the right at the lower tip of the scapula all the way to the front chest, along right breast area. some symptoms subsided but still very tight and tender at t4 t5 t6 right side and tingling along the bottom shoulder.. ive been only walking and doing some gentle exercises and seeing an osteo for some deep tissue release whish seems to help with all the irritation. i tried the ball and its very painfull, the physio ive seen told me its most probably lateral herniation and the neurosurgeon believes its a muscle. mri shows t5t6 and t8t9 right protrusions. thanks for the videos, very accurate and helpful
so helpful and with humour ta boot, very glad I found these guys they clearly know their stuff
God bless you guys! I woke up with an awful pain in my upper back and after doing these exercises, it's a LOT less than it was in the morning. A simple like really isn't enough!
Thank you it's always good to do your research...
Bob and Brad . no words strong enough to say how much i love you and how badass it is that we can always count on you to get the right drills DIY.
Thanks for all your years of knowledge and study Docs... Wonderful video
You are welcome:) thanks for the nice comment!

Thank you very much! You have helped me a lot with the problems I face throughout the range of my spine. Greetings from Greece!
Just stop by to say thanks! I was a flooring man for 40 years on my knees hunched over picking up heavy stones and cement so now at 60 the middle of my back is killing me I can’t even stands to set in a chair. I come across one of your videos of you laying on the floor on top of a ball rolling the ball all over your back that trick has save me the pain has cut in half not eating Ibuprofen like candy no mor. THANK YOU!!!!!!❤
Thanks guys for the push up exercise for the mid back. I've been exercising your demonstration for a couple of days now and I feel so much better. Thanks from Anthony , South Wales , U.k.
Keep the Great videos coming👍
Finally!!! You’ve now helped me work out what’s wrong with my thoracic 🙏🏽 thank you! I purchased your massage gun for Christmas. Brilliant on knots and crps cramps. Seems to scramble the pain.
Seriously, these guys are genius! I've been doing side planks, ab work, back strength training, etc etc etc... etc etc etc.... NOTHING was hitting the problem. I watch this video and BINGO!
You guys are hilarious and passionate and I love it. Thank you 🙏 subbed
I like your methods because unlike other videos just saying techniques, you guys tell us to focus on what our body feels
God dayum!!!! I had this problem for years... The first exercice solved the pain and discomfort like magic... Im so thankful for this channel... 💓💓💓
Bob and Brad. I just watched your video on mid back pain. This is exactly what I have. Sometimes when I step down or stub my foot it is like seeing god! My background is that I have been working out 3 times a week for the past 40 years. I know muscle structure and do's and don'ts when working out. I used to teach people how to workout correctly. However, my injury came from a snowmobile. I did not know how to deal with this type of injury. In the past I did get cortisone shots in the disk that was causing the problems. This seemed to work for about a year or so. However, the pain would come back. I am going for a therapy evaluation today. I wanted to be prepared. Your video on this has given me what I need to insure that the treatment is going where it is supposed to. Thanks!
Ive been dealing with this awkward pain for 8 weeks. doing weird Open book and QL stretches and turns out your rotational stretch has me completely relieved. Im going to do it at least twice a day! sooooooooo helpful!!!!
The twisting one?
You guys are wonderful! Thank you so much! Your videos are really helpful.
These helped so much thank you guys!
I never gave these guys a chance until I tried the first exercise they suggested in this video. Absolute victory and will go to again if I encounter any such minor/possible self treating issue again. 10/10
Thank you for the video. I can hear my thoratic veryebae click almost every time I breathe. It is very troubling for me. Finally, after two and a half years' struggling, I decided to reach out online for help. Your videos are really practical.
5 years ago, and you guys still are life savers
:)
Thank you guys for all you do. Love your videos
Just did the first exercise you suggested and feel relieved now.
Thank you very much!
My back has been improved because I used this back pain guidebook, t.co/GZQoiGLijd . That is genuinely a huge deal to me since I have attempted many, many guidelines and also my back still hurts after each a different one. I can`t believe I have acquired the answer for my back trouble I am hoping this will by final relief!.
Wow, this helped me tremendously. I love you. Thank you so much. I feel like I can exercise now that my back pain is resolved.
Any update?
Thank you so much! I was able to get the relief that I needed.
Wow thanks a lot... these exercises brings my health back... unbelievable ❤️
I really appreciate you guys making such helpful videos
Thanks for the great free advice I'm going to get started now
OMG. you guys are awesome! You helped me in a big way.
Thanks guys,,, very informative 👍 AND helpful
This was something new I tried and it seems to be helping. Thanks guys
Iv surfferd thorax pain for several years until i came up on you guys, tanks for great tips
Thank HEAVEN for Bob and Brad
You guys are life savers . Thank You!
God bless you I always follow your exercises, before i had sciatica I followed, now i have mid back, i hope i will be fine like i got relief from sciatica ..
Iv been suffering midback pain for years. Thanks for this vedio it’s working and relieving for me!
Do you mean you do these movements when you're in pain or when you're not?
Thank you, this helped tremendously!
This helped me immensely, thanks a ton!
Oh, thank you so much. I have been trying to describe to people that my mid-back hurts and extends around both sides to my ribs. Nobody has ever heard of such a thing. So I started searching and found this. Can't wait to try these exercises!
I know. They say thorasic pain doesn't happen and it's impossible to have herniated thorasic discs
You guys are wonderful. I feel better now.
I did the excersices with you guys and my thoracic area doesn't hurt! Yes! Rocking with you two today!
Glad to hear that :)
Geniuses! My mid back pain and spasms made me miserable and pretty useless. I did all 3 of these exercises in rotation for about 45 minutes and already fell like new. Thank you guys. Two enthusiastic thumbs way up!
I want to thank you guys because I'm 63 and I'm watching the show right now I have so much back up or pain and I live by myself and it's so hard to move around just have to be laying all day
I got ran over by a car 18-19 years ago...i am 25 years old. And i just recently found a doctor that actually takes me seriously regardless of my age for the first time in almost 2 decades, and he finally was able to diagnose me with thoracic radiculopathy and scoliosis. I have multiple herniated disks, between my c5 and 6, and between my t1 and 2...my left thigh went numb years ago, my right hand and fingers and left hand and fingers (mostly my right hand) have been numb as well. This is the best video ive watched to explain why and how. Thank you... hopefully these will keep me from having surgery, but i fear ive had it for so long that surgery would be the only thing to help...
Wow it really helped me, thank you guys.
Instant relief!!!! Thank you!
Thanks for sharing those tips. I have thoracic scoliosis and issues with that area of the spine as a result. The last exercise is similar to one that I practice in yoga and it does help.
Just what I needed to watch... Thank you.....
I’ve had pain in one spot of my upper spine since I was 16. The rotations to the opposite side actually provided relief. My previous chiropractor didn’t mention any home exercises, but I’ve tried foam rolling every possible way. I feel like I can breathe more deeply, and like I’m an inch taller after trying these rotations.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I just bought a foam roller. Did it end up helping you alot? Thanks. Hope your back feels better.
I have the same issue now. What was you're diagnosis? I've seen a muskoskeleatal specialist but doesn't help. Has the pain decreased with foam Rolling? Thanks
Definitely save this video. The pain is killing literally everyday and I am only under 30, I don't even want to anticipate my back's conditions when I get older. :(
Feel you
Me too
The recurring pain from thoracic spondylosis (bone spur and narrowed T7, T8) kills me. i am under 30s too.
@Navdeep Singh been in pain since i was 16, get on my level haha
i feeeel you. only 23 been dealing with degenerative disc disease and kyphoscoliosis for years 💔
I hope you guys are rich or get rich soon. You have helped me and so many people and it's clearly bc you love doing it. Thank you so much.
I am so grateful for you guys! I clean for a living, so I'm often bending over tubs etc. to scrub, and also I use a backpack vacuum that makes me bend from the mid back instead of from my waist. I have been waking up with pain almost every night in my midback with radiating pain towards my front ribs. I sometimes feel like I've gotten the wind knocked out of me, it hurts that much and is that tight. I was worried that maybe I had something wrong with an internal organ but I think it's just repetitive use injury to my thoracic spine. I will follow your advice and hope things get better! Thank you for putting my mind at ease. Appreciate your knowledge and willingness to just put it out there in the world for free.
Amazing information
Thanks for the great advise.
Thanks for the awesome tips❤️❤️ God bless 🙏🙏 u both...
Thanks for this video!
Damn, the chair trick made my day. From all the things i've tried, that exercise is the only thing that made me feel a sharp pain in the right spot. After i did the exercise for 2nd time, the pain was gone and my upper back feels like a did a whole fitness workout. Thank you.
No doubt you both are very famous physiotherapist
