Bob I am sorry to hear about your diagnosis of ataxia. You’re an amazing PT and you’ve taught me much through your videos. I am applying to PT school now! Any case, best of luck to you with dealing with it and we’re here to support you if needed.
@@BobandBrad my dad has inherited ataxia and I know you must be having a hard time adjusting. Some of the things he needed to do was change his diet and stop alcohol. It really helped his day to day life.
I was diagnosed with Ataxia in 2016. I know exactly what you're going through. Somethings are more difficult but you've got a great background and great support team. We can do this!
Friends don’t give up on each , growing older and facing their own health issues . God bless to both , your hearts have always been in the right place . Very helpful and informative instructional videos geared for the common people . These guys are AWESOME !
Bob, I am so glad to see you still helping us! I have MS, and have been using your videos to help maintain the best lifestyle I can. You are truly a great physical therapist, and I'm glad you're continuing to help us be our best selves!!!!
I hope you are doing okay, I was reading they are doing stem cell research on MS recently and red light therapy can help with pain management. Stay well ❤
I would always have muscle knots on my hamstrings and suffered from ankle pain on a regular basis. luckily I discovered this last week in another video. since then I have been working on my core and glutes and I have noticed a noticeable difference
Just tried the standing single leg exercise. I’m surprised to note that I had trouble contracting that glute muscle. I have hip and knee problems on that side. I hope strengthening the glutes will help with these other issues. Thanks so much, guys!
Hi Bob & Brad, Thanks for all the excellent videos over the years. In 2021 my hamstring was tore near in half and your videos were extremely helpful in my own road to recovery - thank you! @Bob, hang in there and keep fighting the good fight! I think you guys are such a great team.
WOW! I have definitely learned something at 60+. Our butts can have amnesia! 😳 That's so interesting to know. Thanks guys for teaching us, as well as showing us WHAT TO DO when it happens to us. Y'all have a beautiful weekend. 🌄
I think I have glute amnesia. I struggle to stand from sitting. I just started a functional training class to help with that problem. Glad to her my problem has a name and I will definitely incorporate the exercises suggested in your show. Thank you! PS I am 78. The oldest in my class along with one that has a walker. No excuses most everyone can improve.
I am glad to see Bob is still continuing to do these. It is proof that we can all do these. I hurt my back... was practically bed ridden. Started doing yoga from tv and found you. You helped. I got muscle relaxers got to a local physical therapist. I walked in with a cane walked out on my own. I was using a wheelchair in the house.
Good wishes to Bob. We therapists can handle more with the knowledge we have. You and Brad have given so much to the community. The positive vibes coming back to you!
Bob you are the man! In spite of your ataxia you keep putting out videos. You have no idea how much you inspire me. Brad you are an awesome friend and colleague! I love your that continue to support Bob and work to keep these videos going. You guys keep making content and I will continue to support. God Bless!
Bob you have been an inspiration to literally thousands of people. Hopefully the support and prayers you will undoubtedly receive from all of us will be an inspiration to you. ❤️
Thank you guys. Doesn't seem enough, but thank you from the bottom of my whole heart. I've had sciatica nerve shooting after being a carpet cleaner for 8 years, working 10-12 hour days. It stopped pinching the nerve after doing some relaxed standing and walking, months to a year later. I've never been able to balance both legs and hip since. My right side rides lower and starts to cramp. Thought it was my butt cheek. I've tried so many things over 3-4 years (except go to a doctor) and nothing has worked, except minor things like putting my feet and knees together and bending knees with arms out, putting feet up and sinking hips while pulling head back in a chair. I've watched 3-4 of your videos that gave me real hope. This hamstring one is the golden ticket, I feel. My hamstring is tight and leveraging my hip down and at an odd angle. Despite all of my own delusional self diagnosis, when I actually get mindful enough to fire my glutes a HUGE amount of pressure is reduced. I may be able to turn left soon... it was fun to say I have, "Zoolanders disease " though.
This saved my life. That is not an exaggeration. I’ve been stretching my hamstring for over a year with a zero success. I developed a bursa pain. I did the glutes strengthening exercises and had immediate success. No pain whatsoever in my bursa or knee tightness of the knee. I walked 18 holes yesterday and the golf course and did not know my hip or knee was there. Thank you very much Bob Schrupp. I’m 75 years old and was moving like an old man. Not anymore!
Accurate. Almost every old-timer I know that's how they went. Something injured them where they couldn't do much movement anymore (or they just did a life change and stopped moving) and you could see the degeneration start from that moment on. Glad to hear you got your movement back.
Love your camaraderie and your commitment to our health. Have enjoyed every video as well as learning the various theories of ‘why’ and the ‘fix’ for our body dilemma’s. Keep the content flowing! I believe i have the answer as to why so much cramping to my right hamstring… so off i go to fire up my gluteals👍🤣
In just a month, I’ve become a big fan of you two guys! I saw another video where you recommended the bridge to help stretch the psoas. Enthusiastic after your video, I did a *fantastic* job with the bridge, creating a super trigger point in my left lats. 😂 It was hard to walk at first but is better now. I look forward to resuming the bridge (or one of the variations) perhaps with moderated enthusiasm…it helped a lot. lol
I really appreciate your channel I'm a PT myself and have learned so much from you over the years. In turn you have helped countless of my patients as well.
For the glute bridge, your feet were out too far and that puts more load on the hamstring For the standing banded hip thrusts, you want a lower anchor point for a more ideal angle of resistance… and you were watching your back which is a sign to me that you weren’t squeezing your glued enough
Good observations. I also noticed the feet out way too far for the bridge. And feet were also too close together on bridge. Feet are supposed to be hip length apart.
My question with this is if it will help with improving kicks. I read it does. I havent seen a video showing effects. As a martial artist its so frustrating to have tight hips and hamstrings.
All the best for both of you guys. I've been following you both here in youtube before you reached your 1000th sub. Your channel is very informative. I am doing most of the stretches and exercises here and I also teach them to friends and relatives that suffer from back, muscle and joint pains. Stay an inspiration to many and thank you.
Been going to PT for my back and sciatica but keep getting cramps in my hamstrings. Definitely going to give this a try since they aren't recommending it at PT.
You guys are great ! And Bob I wish you the best of luck and please know that you have total support from all your fans and most of all you have our prayers, Be well !
Best Wishes to you Bob. Thank you both for your very helpful videos helping so many including myself to live healthier active lives longer! Your both as I've heard many times ROCKSTARS for all your help!
You are helping people to get well through your Videos. All that good Karma doesn't go in vain. It will come to you & protect you. My best wishes to you.🙏
So nice to see Bob in the videos again! :D Thank you again for all the helpful tips. My hamstrings have been so tight s/p being bed ridden for a week. 😅
Hi Bob. I feel u. I have suspected cerebellar ataxia and have experienced cramps in strange places, hamstrings tightness, deteriorating balance, clumsy coordination, just to name a few.
This is just the set of exercises I needed! I've been doing some ( it helps) this will be great to add in. Thank you as always for helping us all lead more active and comfortable lives! Keep the good advice and good vibes coming!
Hi guys. You are absolute deadset legends for posting amazing content and best wishes to bob in his recovery. I have a question, for those of us with severe posterior pelvic tilt causing pelvic floor dysfunction (hypertonic pelvic floor) would you modify these exercises in any particular way or amount. Kind regards from down under
Went kayaking yesterday and had crazy hamstring cramping in bed before I fell asleep. Didn't tell anyone, look up anything related online, or say a single word about it...but this pops up into my feed. Colour me creeped out 😶
I do bulgarian split squats (better for my knees than normal squats), how much do these do for the glutes? Or do you recommend adding a glute isolation exercise like your video
I ride bike. I ride bike a lot! The price I seem to pay is perennially tight gluts. I assumed it was just a natural result of overdeveloped muscle. Watched this video, tried the simple reverse bridge move that Bob demonstrated. Bam! It unlocked my gluts and took away that tight feeling I had just learned to live with.
How can complete gluteal amnesia even be real? If your gluted didn't work I wouldn't think you could stand up at all. Perhaps they are very weak and not firing efficiently, but not completely shut off.
OK, I've added stretching to my exercise routine and miraculously it has taken away my crippling back pain. Now I have greater ambitions at 79. I'm trying to revive my body to when I was practicing karate 60 years ago. My hamstring stretching on the stairs is about at your level. But how do you get to the level of a ballet dancer who raises her knee to her chest and then can extend her lower leg straight up over her head? I think when I get fully loosened hamstrings that it will raise the height of all my kicks in any direction. When you achieve one goal then move the goalposts a bit farther out, right?
It's important not to extend your back all the way to a straight torso-leg line. As soon as you do or go past that, the back extensors and hams will take too much of the weight; making the glute contraction isometric, rather than active. You can also do knee walking to properly integrate your hips and legs into bipedal motion. Too many other groups will mask glute laziness when walking on your feet. It's a good diagnostic AND intervention. As is Pilates. Yoga is more of a test than a solution, but still an amazing activity that gets better after a lot of repetition. If you are tight/inefficient, Yoga will burn a ton more oxygen and fat than it will once you get good at it.
They seem close. I bet they were flexible on who would wear what striped pants. Bob you wear the thicker stripes they insensuate your tall frame. O thanks brad for the compliment.
Can you have pain behind a knee from tight hamstrings? I felt something twinge about a week ago. Now I have pain behind my knee. It could be a varicose vein but I don’t see any.
I wonder if this "gluteal amnesia" is even more prone to competitive cyclists who spend hours a day training on the bike. As I get older, I am feeling more hamstring cramping and tightness and I suspect the source is my glut muscles not activating.

How is everything going ?
I have some knee pain and my pt said my glutes are very weak. Hoping to build them up.
Hi Bob & Brad,
Thanks for all the excellent videos over the years.
In 2021 my hamstring was tore near in half and your videos were extremely helpful in my own road to recovery - thank you!
@Bob, hang in there and keep fighting the good fight!
I think you guys are such a great team.
I do barbell Good Mornings for hamstring flexibility, which also end up being a great glute strengthener (in my experience). 2 for 1
B & B are the bomb! 💣
You both have helped me over the years improve my health and lessen chronic pain. I will be thinking of you Bob on your journey with Ataxia.
Thank you 😊
WOW! I have definitely learned something at 60+.
Our butts can have amnesia! 😳
That's so interesting to know. Thanks guys for teaching us, as well as showing us WHAT TO DO when it happens to us.
Y'all have a beautiful weekend. 🌄
You are both awesome, thank you for your help. And you are an inspiration.
Great Subject!

Thanks for sharing
Congratulations!
Thank you foe these educational videos!!
Thanks! Just what i requested! Love you guys!
Sorry to hear about the ataxia. Major bummer.
Will the bridge exercise over tighten pelvic muscles?
No. You don’t use your pelvic muscles. Try it and put your hand on your pelvis. It’s not contracted.
Thanks
Tried this but I get cramp and cannot continue. Why is this and what can I do to compensate please?
Thank you for all of your informative videos Bob & Brad!
You’re welcome ☺️
All the best to dear Bob! 1 of the most famous physical therapists on the internet!💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️

Bob and brad must be secretly sabotaging me and giving me the exact videos I need weekly

Thanks so much for the help. I’ve had tight hamstrings for years. Very helpful
The pelvic sway with the standing band exercise looks compressive to the lumbar spine. Any alternatives?
I'm sure Bob will figure out the best way to deal with the problem. Best of luck.
Should you do the bridge when you've had back surgery? Specifically at L5 S1
Hi Bob. I feel u. I have suspected cerebellar ataxia and have experienced cramps in strange places, hamstrings tightness, deteriorating balance, clumsy coordination, just to name a few.
thanks for staying with it guys good luck you both helped me with knee replacement thanks again
You are both legends
All the best Bob. Keep on doing what you do it's really great and thanks for all of the great videos you've both given us all.

Is Brad wearing football referee pants?
Asking for a friend....
And Bob, we all are wishing you the best!
Great info however the demonstrated hip lift is hamstring dominant. A glute dominant bridge would have your heel closer to your glute. Proceed ❤
Went kayaking yesterday and had crazy hamstring cramping in bed before I fell asleep. Didn't tell anyone, look up anything related online, or say a single word about it...but this pops up into my feed.
Colour me creeped out 😶
We love you Bob. If anybody makes some disparaging remark we will kick them in the shin for you for being such a poopiehead.
You guys need the yonder version of that shirt
Suomolaina boika
Strong like bull
Smart like tractor!
I’m back with yet another question that I knew B&B would have an answer for…. Bob looks great!
Glad
He is doing well!
Well, that was not what I expected. It's like Abbott and Costello except with real information.
I do bulgarian split squats (better for my knees than normal squats), how much do these do for the glutes? Or do you recommend adding a glute isolation exercise like your video
I ride bike. I ride bike a lot! The price I seem to pay is perennially tight gluts. I assumed it was just a natural result of overdeveloped muscle. Watched this video, tried the simple reverse bridge move that Bob demonstrated. Bam! It unlocked my gluts and took away that tight feeling I had just learned to live with.
Props to Bob for casually doing weighted one-leg glute bridges
My glutes are toast after like 15 seconds of feeling the muscle with my hand and contracting. Wow it's like I never had glutes all along.
How can complete gluteal amnesia even be real? If your gluted didn't work I wouldn't think you could stand up at all. Perhaps they are very weak and not firing efficiently, but not completely shut off.
OK, I've added stretching to my exercise routine and miraculously it has taken away my crippling back pain. Now I have greater ambitions at 79. I'm trying to revive my body to when I was practicing karate 60 years ago. My hamstring stretching on the stairs is about at your level.

I think when I get fully loosened hamstrings that it will raise the height of all my kicks in any direction. When you achieve one goal then move the goalposts a bit farther out, right?
Thinking about you Bob… both of you are very nice. All of us wish you the very best.
Hey Bob, is that Schlitz shirt? Thanks for the advice, as always!
It's important not to extend your back all the way to a straight torso-leg line. As soon as you do or go past that, the back extensors and hams will take too much of the weight; making the glute contraction isometric, rather than active. You can also do knee walking to properly integrate your hips and legs into bipedal motion. Too many other groups will mask glute laziness when walking on your feet. It's a good diagnostic AND intervention. As is Pilates. Yoga is more of a test than a solution, but still an amazing activity that gets better after a lot of repetition. If you are tight/inefficient, Yoga will burn a ton more oxygen and fat than it will once you get good at it.
This is a great idea! I injured my hamstring for the when I ran a 100 meter dash race, a typical issue of speed sprints. Thanks a lot.
They seem close. I bet they were flexible on who would wear what striped pants. Bob you wear the thicker stripes they insensuate your tall frame. O thanks brad for the compliment.
Can you have pain behind a knee from tight hamstrings? I felt something twinge about a week ago. Now I have pain behind my knee. It could be a varicose vein but I don’t see any.
I wonder if this "gluteal amnesia" is even more prone to competitive cyclists who spend hours a day training on the bike. As I get older, I am feeling more hamstring cramping and tightness and I suspect the source is my glut muscles not activating.

Will do!
I watched till the end! Loved the heart sad it was broken though 😢❤❤❤
Can I ask you what is the correct alignment for bridge? Is ankle under knee okay too?
