bob and brad, the two most famous, physical therapists, on the internet.
You got that right! In our opinion of course ;)
Jenna Moini Why all the commas? lol
@@BrunetteGiant the commas denote the pauses in the opening song
@@BrunetteGiant it's aligned with the pauses in the intro...
In my opinion of course ❤💯
You guys are great. I love your quotes too. "Food is the most abused anxiety drug. Exercise is the most underutilized antidepressant." Is that an original from you two?
Yes!! So true!!
@@browncatwithblurredbackgro2461 I know what it's like to be clinically depressed. Exercise is PART of the solution. Of course there are different levels and there is a customized approach always required. Nothing is a magic bullet.
Thanks guys
I had this injury from playing soccer. I re-injured myself a few times and started to think I was just too old (45 at the time) and would never recover. I wish I had seen this video the first time I was hurt. I’m back in the game now thanks to you.
OMG, these guys just described my issue immediately and gave me the solution.
Glad we could help
The is the best calf treatment video I've seen on the internet. Definitely supports your claim of being the most famous physical therapists on the internet. "In our own opinion of course, Bob."
Bob and Brad always there at my lowest 😢. I watched their videos when I tore my Achilles tendon. I’m back again after a year, this time I tore my left calf muscle 😅
Dude. Same exact thing here. Right Achilles and the left calf. I wonder if there’s a some correlation there. Maybe overcompensating on the left leg from the injured Achilles? Hmm…
Thank you Bob and Brad! I can't tell you how much grateful I am for all the work you guys are doing!! These videos have helped me multiple times as I play football... Thanks once again!!
Great guiding by both of you guys ..
It actually helped in alleviate the strain.
👍👍
Once again Bob and Brad, a hearty God bless you both and a thank you for your service to sportsmen and everyone who are blessed by your knowledge and friendly great advice!
My recovery from my calf strain a year ago would have probably taken more than a year without your help! Thank you!
Guys, I just wanted to thank you for this video! I strained my calf this morning while running, and it's nice to know what I need to do and what I can expect! You earned another subscriber fellas!
Very helpful! Thanks for putting this out.
Bob & Brad, helping calf muscles in the year 2020.

Ty I was wondering what to do couldnt find any information about this and boom this video is exactly what I needed
Instant relief, you are both absolute legends and have earned my subscription, thanks to both of you.
Thank you for sharing this info is amazing it works, God bless you guys.
Thanks guys, this is really helpful and you guys are fun to watch! I watched your previous video on checking whether you have Achilles tendonitis or not and I feel so much better that I was showing none of the symptoms
You guys are great! This is the third time I've watched a video for injury and I just get solid advice from these guys and their techniques and methods work I don't know what I would do without you guys.
Last year I was struggling with back pain and I tried their pod and it was life-changing for me I don't know what I would have done without their advice. And this year I had a calf injury and again I wasn't sure what to do and I'm doing their methods and it's very effective.
God bless you guys in the good work you guys are doing keep it up.
Many thanks for the great info - the massage is really helping ❤️
Thank you for your suggestions. They are helping me with me healing process.
The massage worked wonders. You guys are wonderful! Thank you!
This is really very effective .I got relieved by doing this way
Thanks a lot 🙏🏻
These videos have helped me a lot. Bob and Brad are great.
Thanks Bob & Brad. Will start doing it tonite.
Thank you for sharing. The massaging technique indeed works immediately, it has been about 3 days since my tear.
I had a bad calf pull this past weekend, it was as hard as a rock. Saw your video and on the second ady I started that massaging technique and it was amazing. It was instant relief.
Really appreciate this, very helpful!
You guys are great! Thanks for all the knowledge and information.
You guys are awesome, you’ve fixed my hamstrings and now my calf strains from running. Many thanks from the UK.
Gentlemen, fabulous as always. Thank you very much.
I have done the massage for a week .. I am feeling much better . Thank you so much for your Chanel !
Great video. Just done this at the weekend. Fantastic information.
These guys are awesome. This video and the Calf strain or Clot one really save me some anxiety and helped me heal. 👊🏼 thanks guys
Thanks! Positivity and light to you both
just discovered your channel. very helpful! cheers from France!
I'm not sure exactly what I've done a month ago to my calf but I was running and did a quick movement and heard a pop. I couldn't walk nor, stand. I took off crossfit for almost a month, returned and pain was on and off. I did the self treatment as these gentlemen suggest and I feel great. I didn't think about using fingers like that. Felt incredible. Thank you guys!
You guys are great! I have been searching for this. Thank you.
I have seen many people talking about the body, you guys are real professionals!
Thank you very much, I play tennis, and my calf muscle pulled while playing. You have helped to heal my back problems with tour exercises and recommendations. I will definitely do these exercises.
Excellent video. Thanks for being my therapist!!
Thank you for your help you guys are the only ones that help me with my pain
Very Excellent, i appreciate your way of communication. Really you guys are doing best.
Thanks for the great advise. A calf compression sleeve also helps alleviate some of the initial pain after the injury.
You guys are great! I’m a LMT and refer my clients to your channel all the time! Thank you!
Thank you very much for this. The massaging helped immensely!
You guys are the BEST! My hubby just returned home from skiing overseas, and he has a calf strain. He fell forward slowly, and his ski did not unlock from his foot. That caused his calf to over stretch and strain. I took him straight to your channel and we watched and learned! Thank you.
Thank you as always. Your videos on every body part are super helpful. Can I use massage gun for Soleus massage? Same movement as you shown with your finger
Guys! Thank you so much! this video was very helpful. had a slight tear in my calf about 2 weeks ago and used your methods. im back out and running again because of it!
The taping technique at about 8:35 worked wonderfully for me! I have had recurring calf strains when I increase my running and it had became very frustrating. After an interval workout one day, I felt a painful strain in my calf. I tried this taping technique and felt absolutely no pain the next time I ran! Now I tape up before every run (using sports tape, not KT). It's been more than a month, and no more calf pain. Anyway, my two cents. Thanks guys!
Oh boy, been nursing a bad injury for a week. Thought stretching was good and message was bad. Watched this video and felt relief right away, will do this till my ortho appointment in a couple days. Thanks guys
U guys are good! Thanks for the help..
I'm not sure what tricks you guys are 'pulling' but IT WORKED. I've seen all 3 of your videos on a calf strain and after doing the massage, my calf feels GREAT. I did all the stretches you recommend and I was back working out within a week.
Thanks you guys. Yall need a youtube medical award. 👍👍
Great advise as usual guys! Specially on the massage, as it really improves recovery. I have one tipo to share regarding the massage, I ended up using a gel icepack that I made sure was rounded befor freezing it. Then you just place the icepack on top of a pillow to rest the calf on top of it (I do it while sitting on my desk chair and placing the pillow on my desk) that way you need to elevate the leg and this gives you the opportunity to rock your leg sideways while resting on the icepack, that way you get the benefit of the cold, while also doing the "across the muscle" massage. That way you can do it for longer period of times and you can play with your leg placement to hit different spots.
Great video. Great advice. Interesting PT’s :)
Thank you! You guys have saved me so many times🙏
Thank you so much 🙌🏽 I feel better
thanks guys! much appreciated
These guys are dudes, they described exactly what I have.... and will start self treatment now.... cheers guys..👍
Thank you guys, it helps me a lot.
Thanks gentlemen. very helpful insights 🙏
Thank you so much gentlemen .
Thank you Bob and Brad. Your treatment totally works. I use a tennis ball instead of a finger and roll across the muscle for 20 minuets while watching TV. My badly injured calf was cured in two weeks.

Wow thanks for the advice
you are the best , Thanks for the great video
Awesome video 🤝 helped me diagnose my problem & fix it
Hi guys saw your video this morning, this video much better and you guys I tried the muscle rub and it works!!!!
I have had problem with left lower calf, it did become red and doctors thought cellulitis or osteomyelitis. That's gone now with antibiotics, but now 5 weeks still issue! I've tried all sorts and they work only temporarily I was beginning to lose faith until I saw your video!
I tried your muscle massage this morning only managed 5 minutes but omg it's really helped! I am going to continue with this, so hopefully I will finally be sorted. Thank you for doing this video :)
I swear, you are my go to guide! I love you guys!🥰
You guys literally saved my legs!!! I got a terrible running injury on my left leg and I could not recover. I watched this video started doing everything you said and I feel 80% better today! Can't wait to be back to 100% and back to running.
Hey how is your leg doing?
Thank you so much for this.
This was so helpful thank you
Don't forget .. while you're working on healing your ailing body parts make sure your spirit is uplifted coz they both work harmoniously. Good luck everyone with your self therapy and thank you Bob & Brad for all your input and advice.
Thank you! The tape made a huge difference right away.
Thank You !! That was good information :-)
This was amazing!! I blew out my calf muscle same location you described playing tennis.. Never felt a pop like that in my life. I could barely walk.. I did this massage thing for a good solid five minutes, and it friggin worked!! Holy friggin crap.. I was not able to push off on it at all before- now I can!! Unreal!!
Hey how is your leg doing?
@@lemuelbecc All good, thanks!! I’m definitely more mindful of my vulnerabilities as I age…
I don’t know.. I work a physically demanding job.. I bake out in the sun, I sweat, I have to carry heavy, awkward things up to/down to undesirable, awkward places… I attribute that particular injury to me not being adequately hydrated, as well as maybe lacking nutritionally (vitamins, minerals… etc.) Sometimes, I am my own worst enemy.. lol
@@mlke4258 right on, glad it healed up!
you guys are just simply amazing. what a god send of advice.
Thank you so much! I either sprained or tore my calf yesterday and couldn’t put any weight on my leg or flex my foot. After following your instructions I am back to walking almost normal today!
I just had this!! Felt like 3 pops in my calf! So Apple ice and elevate ?? What else? It hurts too
@@midotvadventure504 hopefully you’re all good now but u should elevate use ice and use crutches everywhere you go, after i while just try almost limping around or just try flexing it and see if there’s any improvement because it will heal by itself. if there is still pain then i suggest going to go check because it may be a more major tear.
Thanks Bob & Brad; exactly what I was looking for after an hour of searching for a diagnosis of my calf pain, I instantly knew that I had the condition you described.
I have suffered from popping calfs periodically for years and now I know why it keeps recurring.
Will definitely follow your great advice, especially since so many testaments in the comments as to it's effectiveness.
Thank-you for your kind efforts in making this video.
I can now walk again after these massages and instructions along with your older videos related with the calf muscles. Thanks. I had calf muscle tear after doing an intense session of standing calf raises and could barely walk.
How I healed myself:
I injured it on Thursday, sore on friday, could barely walk on Saturday. I found these guys on Sunday and by late Monday I was good to go.
+The massage at 3:40 This is a MUST do and what jump started the healing faster. 2:54 he explains why this massage is critical to do.
+Walking lightly on toes until I can walk with calf muscle support. Walking was so important for recovery for me as laying down too much did not help me heal faster.
+Frozen water bottle and/or Rolling Pin and massage and roll it on the injured calf muscles (gastrocnemius for me with the medial in bigger pain)
+Stretching lightly without causing too much sharp pain. If in pain when stretching go back to massages/ice like they said
+Extras: bought Icy Patch cream but by that time I was already feeling better due to the other methods above and the other instructions they said. I did not use the tape method but try it if you can.
Thank you! I also did a lot of calf raises and I'm in so much pain I couldn't go to school today but hopefully with these tips I will heal faster! Thanks again!
@@ijwd424 did you heal?
@@dsvdv-7349 Yes, I healed very quickly! The first and second day I could barely walk however I found this video on the second day. The third day I was still in a lot of pain but I could move around more. By the fourth day I could put my heels on the floor and actually walk without my crutches (with a sligt limp though) however I was still in a little pain. The massages are what really helped me the most. My calf muscle was so tight and they really helped relax it and I noticed a huge difference after just one day. I also did some very light stretches like pointing and flexing my toes which really helped. As soon as you can walk without much difficulty, walk around a little, it really helps. After 5 days I could walk with little pain and by the end of the week everything seemed completely fine 🙂 hope this helps!
I Can't Walk Injury While Playing Soccer Oh Man Its Painfull
@@ijwd424 Did your calf problem recur or have you been fine since while continuing to exercise (they say once you injure something it's more likely to happen again). I'm not sure when to start exercising again?
I was pretty stressed out on sunday after hurting my left calf while playing tennis. This video is giving me hope to recover. Thanks guys.
I am so glad I found this video!!! was in so much pain for a week. i randomly pulled my calf muscle over stretching. I did the massage for 10 minutes & also used a epsom salt gel. It felt better almost immediately :)))) my inside of my heel turned purple from this injury, is that normal?
Appreciate the videos guys 🙌🏼. Watched you guys for a very long time and strained my calf playing soccer. Thought it was feeling ok as I’ve played through all minor injuries but a week later and as soon as I pushed off I felt it knot up and get tight again. Likely made it worse. A week later it felt better but as soon as I took a mild shot I felt it again 🤦🏻♂️.
Paying the price for being impatient but I’m positive From your explanations I’m tearing scar tissue over and over and likely over-stretching it. Time to follow your advice and take my time with it.
You know, 2 is better than one. I love how you two keep each other from being stuck in 1 answer. You both have a great way of helping and with a little different opinion from both. A great way to treat. I dislike arrogant docs...you two are anything but arrogant. Great job boys! I recommend your vids to my whole family. U might think the beginning is cheesy but its catchy. I like it. Keep up the great advice while thos Corona virus is going on
These videos are a great help!!
Thanks boys excellent advice. Time to put into practise.
Great video guys. I blew out my calf playing tennis last night and this video helped to ease my mind a little bit. Thanks guys!
Thank you for this!
Great, informative video; Definitely helps limit discomfort! However, should I also foam roll the calf or just wait till it begins to regain strength/muscle?
If your fingers get tired massaging, try lying on your back with bent knees,and put your sore calf on your other knee. Move it around to massage
works doesn't it
Use knuckles
Frozen water bottle helps
I like your name
@@creations2548 I'm not able to straighten my legs😂
I appreciate your help and love your presentation :)
You guys are AWESOME! Thank you! The "side-note" at 5:31 was for me. I mildly twisted my ankle 14 days ago and then realized how sore my calves are (probably from inactivity). Thank you!
Really helpful. Thank you
As always you guys made a great video.
When do you start strengthening? When there’s no swelling and leg feels normal again?
It's really useful and so easy and simple
I really like your videos, you two have very good dynamics and positive energies and it's really fun watching you. I had a question about the massage you suggest in case of a partial tear. I'm using a massage gun, do you think it is as effective? Should I use it in some specific manner??
Thank you for the great content 🙏
Thank you Gentelmen!! This video was very informative. About a week ago, I got jolted awake by a horrible Charley horse in my left calf. It took a long time to go away but the aftermath still lingered. So for a few days I'm walking fine, then the next thing I realize is that it began to slightly ache, and the pain increased by each day that past. 3ish days later after not walking on it at all bc putting pressure down on it felt like ripping and just too much pain (it didn't occur to me to put ice however, but was elevated) so now I can limp around a bit w my leg at a right angle and using my tippy toes to make steps. This has never happened to me before I didn't know that a Charley horse could be so sevier! Thank for the advise I hope I will be pain free SOON!! : )
trouble walking? I can't even stand up
Thank you ♥️
Yep me too.
Bro same
same here the pain is killing me.
Yup me too
Thank you both very much...
I'm so glad I came across you guys. This muscle has been hurting me for 2 years
