"Some of our astute followers have noticed me slurring my words. I am not drunk but working with Brad it would be justifiable. I had 6 infected cysts removed from my mouth (noncancerous) and I have residual scar tissue and numbness. I will try to do better. Thanks Bob."
😂😂 But Seriously, glad everything is okay. I was wondering what was wrong.
Smh people, man I tell ya. 😂 Always finding something to complain about.
Thanks for the video, using these techniques starting tomorrow
“Im not drunk but working with brad it would be justifiable”... I’m dead 🤣💀
Dear Bob. I am thankful that you are well. As an RN, I noticed it but thought of a possible recent stroke that left you unable to speak well. I am glad that it is not that. Feel better, and wishing you a speedy recovery.
I appreciate you guys sharing helpful things to people that would not otherwise have the money to pay for your types of services
Yes! This so much!!!!
Yeeees!
Not even money, but in some countries its not possible to get to the physiotherapy or any other professionals just like that. In my country you need to go to your family doctor first to get a letter for any other services and until you dying (I am not even exaggerating), doctor wont send you to seek professional help. Not physiotherapy related but I have terrible period, that much painful, that for 2 days every month i have to be in bed because i am unable to walk. My family doctor said, some ladies have heavy periods and thats it. No blood test done, no scan, nothing.. and I really wanted to get to the gynaecologist (not sure if that's the word).
It's their business.. they get paid by views for posting stuff
Thank you so much for your appreciation. We are very happy we can help
Im 22 and failed every test miserably.
Ive been trying to fix my rolled shoulders and hips for a while and finding this channel is a gem
"You look confident" very true
I’ve been looking at so many of your videos, my whole family’s walking around singing the Bob & Brad tune. Thanks for the great content, and for being who you are. Greetings from Norway🇳🇴
That is awesome
Sitting on a picnic table like a troll and this notification pops up. Thanks B&B
Omg lmao! That's how I look too lol
I'm glad I found this channel. I suffer from chronic migraines and ever since I started physical therapy it has helped bc I am tense and have knots in my shoulders and neck and work at a computer all day. I'm 31 and would like to get these problems under control before it gets even worse. It's very painful. Are there any devices you'd recommend for neck tension? Theres so many online/Amazon. Thanks for making such informational and educational videos!
Awesome content! Thanks!!
Wow! What an amazing description!
I am a yoga teacher and it helps me a lot to improve my teaching. Could you please make a video about difference between kyphosis spine and round shoulder.
Y’all clearly have the spirit of God for providing these videos without a fee
TH-cam pays
Thanks guys!! Love the use of foam roller 😍
Thanks, guys, this is really wonderful practical, useful advice! Things that are hard to come by for free.
I did a lot of weight lifting on an old universal machine in the navy, didn't really know what I was doing and got real tight. That was over 45 years ago. I can get my arms on the floor in the cross position but over head it's still a no go. It is improving though. Thanks for all the info guys.
Bradandbob, thanks for great info and demonstrations. I really like you guys, you have such positive vibes :) Irit from Israel
Thanks for the info!! I really need this!!
Thank you guys ☺️☺️
Thanks Guys! Got my ball ready and going thru the motions of the band without one and that’s helping my flexibility… great job as usual
Love this! Thank you very much for posting this helpful content.
You can stand in a doorway, place a hand on each side of the door frame, elbows bent and take a step forward, like you're going through the door but your hands are stopping you.
Same as pulling exercise bands towards you.
If taking a step is too much, lean into it
@Ghandi Blyat oh. I don't know all the terminology but that's what the physical therapist had me do to open my chest and fix my shoulders. Come to think of it the pulling motion is totally different. My mistake. But it did help anyway
GREAT IDEA! THANK YOU
Bob and Brad showed doing that in former videos correcting posture, so you are correct.
Both are correct! The doorway stretch is great for stretching tight "chest" muscles and the pulling action, drawing your shoulders back toward your spine, aka rowing, strengthens the back muscles that are weak. So, to sum it up, stretch the tight chest and strengthen the weak back muscles at the same time.
A physical therapist worked with me on this and it works great.
Great information. THANKS
Thank you guys for this beautiful video very helpful you guys are the man thank you Bob for the mention of ZZ Top's bassist Dusty Hill that's awesome that Bob and Brad knows who ZZ Top is God bless to both of you and your families🙏✌
Thanks I needed this!
Thank you my Dear Dr
Thank you so much for these, I've been in agony for months. That tennis ball trick is amazing. ❤️
You Guys are Great God Bless you Both
I noticed since I've been watching your videos, sometimes when I'm standing up or sitting down It kinda feels like I'm straight but I'm not quite so then I straighten up all the way. Feels much better when you're perfectly aligned😊
Thanks for making this video Bob and Brad. I still wonder about what to do about forward head as my neck takes a sharp kink forward. Best wishes
Amazing, thank you!
Thanks so much for this video, & all of the others too 😁❤
Thank you so much
That's me! I have had brain/skull/spine surgery for Chiari and that's how my posture is. Thanks for doing these videos!
I just spent almost half an hour here ,typing out in detail why I subscribed and why I continue to follow your content and
My former neighbor went to West Point. I asked him how they trained for posture, and he said it was by standing against the wall, just as you showed. You had to reach the point where your neck was against the wall.
Great information 👍🏻😊😇
I call them 'depressed shoulders'. They are both a symptom of and something that can contribute to depression. (or can can contribute to obstruction of cerebral spinal fluid outflow from your brain if you're like me, but my body is a bit weird)
Thank you Bob and Brad! What about taking the ball and putting it in a pillow case and run the six spots from a standing position?
Thank you.
Thanks guys
I went and bought tennis balls cause I love your channel 😁 they help so much
Great...your exercises have helped me alot! Feel young again ☺️
Easy way to check, put on suspenders, if one side keeps falling off the shoulder, that shoulder is rounded. I have that issue all the time with my right shoulder.
I've got rounded shoulders and a rounded back from riding bicycles for years and always leaning forward
I've been a fan for years now
Really useful videos. There's something that I have been doing a lot of research on and I see a lot of different answers online. What do you guys think about pulling the shoulders back and down during a bench press?
I will add this to our to do list!
@@BobandBrad Thank you very much!
@@BobandBrad th-cam.com/video/OSTqlujE9sw/w-d-xo.html Please watch this video and tell me what you think about moving the shoulders back and down.
I’d love some ideas for those of us with disabilities who can’t lie/get down on the floor, and those of us with osteoporosis who have to avoid compression/pressure on the spine. I can’t figure out how to break up the tight spots, and I feel a lot of tightness. Very rounded shoulders.
Hi you famous guys!
FYI… I just bought a firmer bed and my posture straightened out by itself!
Who knew
Strange. I pass the first and third tests but fail the second one (against the wall) woefully.
How often would you do the tennis ball thing on the floor? Once a day, several times?
I’m a certified nurses aide and my job is very repetitive and I’m always rolled forward. Would these exercises help with that as well? I’m 51 this year and a little afraid of ending up with rolled shoulders or humped spine.🤷♀️
I have a stretchy band that has a ball on a cord on it. I put the little ball and cord halfway along the stretchy band and it locks into place in a doorway with a shut door. Very convenient, no permanent installation required. I imagine anyone could create this with Any stretching band by just tying some cord onto it and then tying the cord onto something that would keep the door from opening.
I have ankylosing spondylitis (A. S.) And my back is bent over. What brace do you recommend for helping my posture?
You guys… please ,never sell out. You’re so genuine. Don’t let politicians pay you big money to push their agenda, okay??!😫
They never would. Too innocent. I love them!
Nice 👍👍🙏
I have round shoulders that I have been trying to improve for years. I will give your exercises a try. Do you have any suggestions regarding S I joints. The chiropractor always has to adjust mine.
Can we do passive stretching to pectoralis major muscle ?
Band Exercise thingy it a bit costly, but I think I woudl stick with the band and stretching - can you buy just one band for stretching?
That randomly-disappearing Brad moment was good.
Is it possible to buy a table like yours?
Hi, pls advise what is height (from floor) of the anchor. Want to start using the stretch band but hate to get it wrong even before i start. Thx
Approximately, chest height, or slightly lower. I'm a Personal Trainer and you want the direction of resistance to be opposite of muscles working. In other words, weights/dumbbells rely on gravity to create tension, whereas bands, should be set up, opposite the muscles that you're trying to work. Hope that makes sense to you. 😊
Very good, "If you're not confused, you're not paying attention. - Tom Peters"
How would you fix trizeepoid not where its supposed to be
Lol they are so chessy 😂 I enjoyed watching this
Hey guys do you have any therapy for the hemifacial spasms?
I am noticing more hunched shoulders because I’m standing ten hours a day, looking downwards at my job. I feel that if I can see both of my curved shoulders in my peripheral vision then something is very wrong. I want to fix it before it’s too late, I am only 52. Thanks for this video. I wasn’t sure if hunched shoulders was reversible. Do you think a posture corrector might be helpful too even at my age?
Besides the posture exercises, since you both stress problem is tight muscles, wouldn't first using a massager be beneficial to help loosen those mussles before even doing the exercises?
Your chest muscles are tight, your back muscles are weak....therefore, you need to stretch "tight" muscles and strengthen "weak" muscles. You need to draw your shoulders back toward your spine, in order for you to utilize those weak muscles and open/stretch chest, to open /pull back those "tight" muscles. 😘
Its vibration is what you need.
Massage can definitely help loosen things up. And hey, who doesn’t enjoy a massage? (OK, sometimes it’s uncomfortable when the therapist has to work out tight spots). I’m not a personal trainer or an exercise expert, but the last time I checked, it’s a good idea to be warmed up before stretching. It probably doesn’t matter whether you do it with gentle exercise working up to a stretch, or having a massage on a nice heated table with warm blankets, or taking a nice Shower with a hot water spray pointed at the area that needs stretching before doing your warm-up and stretch exercises.
First one here, my mother always said to stand up straight lol it’s important
TY🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
When you're lying on the foam roller and you're talking about going past your body to do an extended stretch, I did that once while standing, using resistance bands to go beyond the vertical of my body, and I popped a rib out of place. Also, standing with your back against the wall can give a false reading if you have a voluptuous female butt. This video needs to take into consideration alternate body types beyond your stick figures.
Bet they both get stretched out. Lot of hanging and going down.
@@OffBeateimmaJ stretched so much your rib falls out of a socket is a bad stretch. I didn't know such a thing could happen and I bet lots of people don't. Especially if you're not fit. As anyone fighting a hump probably is.
Bob and Brad tend to do short and focused videos. But I think it’s a great idea if they would start adding videos like the ones you suggest. I wonder if anyone else on the Internet is doing something like that? I have not seen that addressed in the various videos and books I’ve read on posture, and I’ve read a fair amount because I’m a geek about it.
neat
Oh, man. Bob knows how to do spin. He have a Steel Ball.
Are people with poor posture more likely to get torn rotator cuffs?
I got a bad posture and tons of popping om shoulders. So yeah maybe
@Ghandi Blyat - Because all of your bones are hooked together. If you were a shoe with a heel that’s even a Centimeter tall, you are already throwing off your posture. And that little thing can sit in to play a cascade of compensation that Creates friction and damage. Especially in this dehydrating world we live in. Other things play a part, but posture/alignment is part of it. there are some very enjoyable, readable books by a guy named Pete Egoscue on this topic. His exercises prevent people from having to get surgery on their bones and joints sometimes, or they help rehabilitate them and prevent further recurrence is afterward. I love the case studies and I really like the drawings that show The different ways that misalignment shows up. I was interested, but not surprised, to learn that if a pregnant woman has a hip misalignment, it can either stall delivery or create a delivery that is too fast, Depending on the direction of the misalignment.
Short answer is yes
I love your vids, Because I watched so many of them I wish I could make them a little shorter.
Thanks for everything!!!
Shorter? Disagree
Set playback speed to 1.5X! Bob & Brad won't mind as long as it has you sitting in a desk less
I have a sound from my mid front hip
Both sides and pain in ankle and knee . Plz tell about this
You need to see a doctor. They don't diagnose. They don't do x-rays & MRIs. They do not answer questions here. They do physical therapy videos. See a doctor.
Chronic pain comes from a lot of sources. Dehydration and toxicity to name just a couple. that info is not going to come from an orthopedic doctor that you might go to, or a family doctor. It can also be from scar tissue that forms between the muscles and the fascia overtime. Enzymes and exercises and diet changes and staying hydrated with water that your body recognizes can do a world of good, as can rational therapeutic fasting that’s appropriate for your situation. Bob and Brad have a Lotta videos so they might have already made some on the topics you are interested in. I also like some of the books by Pete Egoscue Because it has really good drawings of how we tend to be misaligned and exercises to help correct the different problems. most people have habitual ways of moving that are not comprehensive enough to protect us from being misaligned, just like some sports create patterns that make us misaligned because they don’t use all the muscles. He has made a career out of helping people Fix that. They even have clinics in different parts of the United States. I don’t know if they have expanded anywhere else yet. But I have done the exercises right out of the books.
🙏
Hey I have a blood clot in my leg and I hurts to much to move what do I do?
@Ghandi Blyat I'm currently in the hospital rn fo it I just can't move it do to pain
@@josefsterner1025 - yeah, you don’t want to do anything to dislodge a blood clot in your leg. It needs to resolve first, completely. Otherwise you could end up with a much bigger disaster than being in pain in the hospital. But you could check with the doctor to see if it is OK if you lay on your back flat with a Rolled towel under your spine, and the nurses should be able to help you with that. The second best thing would be to have a rolled up towel under your spine with The head of the bed elevated as high as they need you to have it for your particular situation. You can still get a gentle stretch across the front of your chest that way. You might not want to do the part where the arms are stretched out or raised above your head if you don’t want to knock out an IV if you have one of those. if they question why you want to do it, obviously you can’t explain you are concerned about your posture but most importantly this little resting exercise will also expand your lungs to help you breathe better, and whatever helps you breathe better will help you avoid complications of being in the hospital. I hope that you are able to move enough to avoid being in one position all the time, otherwise any mucus in your chest can settle in one place and help feed infection. in nursing school we were always taught to turn patients and get them to cough every couple of hours to prevent pneumonia. I don’t know how strict people are with this these days. It seems as though a lot of nursing knowledge has gone by the wayside in favor of technology and drugs. But yeah. It is in your best interest to have full lung capacity as you heal. And if you get an extra bonus of stretching out tight muscles, all the better. If they are really tight you might be able to get them to bring you a hot pad of some sort as those muscles in front stretch out. The main thing: make sure that what you do isn’t contra indicated for your situation, and don’t do anything to dislodge the clot in her leg.
This channel reads my mind www
Mine too....HAHAHA
How much cms can i increase in height by correcting rounded shoulders
10:58 Face pulls....Atlean X can pop anytime
great but the sound seems to be trashed- crackly
I am very rounded, bent back. Various reasons. I am ugly. Taken me years to try not to be ashamed. Wish this could straighten me, but nothing can unfortunately. :(
But the chiropractor says I just need an adjustment and I can keep doing all the things that I'm doing wrong and have to make no effort to change
What a gimmick. Research the history of the chiropractor (practice). I think you will be shocked at what you find. I quit going years ago after a chiropractor put me in a lot of pain during a session. Good luck!
This is when you get a new chiropractor. I had one chiropractor that was kind of cool, except he moved his practice to another town that was a bit too far away from me. But he incorporated whole body vibration machines into his practice. After each adjustment, the patient would go stand on a whole body vibration machine, with the idea that every cell of every muscle is going to get a bit of a work out in the properly aligned position, to help hold the adjustment more permanently. It is not suitable for people with retinal detachment, implants of certain kinds, and a few other conditions, but I really appreciated the effort trying to create a more permanent solution for his patients. The other chiropractor I see is happy to answer questions on exercises, as was the massage therapist that I used to see before he changed employment.
Oh my gosh. I just noticed your name. My husband does not have a lot of time to exercise, And he feels like a bit of a klutz so he doesn’t like the idea of jumping on my Cellerciser trampoline (which exercises every cell of your body also), so I started researching whole body vibration machines to see if I could get one for him. Since I’m a nurse and a geek researcher, I had to learn about every single kind of machine and all of the kinds of movement that they provide, along with warranties and guarantees and clinical results blah blah blah. The machine I ended up choosing for him is put out by a woman named Becky Chambers. What a coincidence, 🤣! Anyway, they were pricey but she has been in the business for a long time and claims that she sees more positive clinical results with a whole body vibration machines that only do a vertical motion, especially for more fragile or elderly people. she has the opinion that the more destabilizing types of whole body vibration machines can create problems. I haven’t seen in a clinical data on that, though. Anyway, Her WBV’s were a bit more expensive than others, but she has been in the business for a long time and claims that the vertical motion is best for more fragile or elderly people (and my husband & I are getting to that point), so I waited for a sale and got the one that is designed for that demographic. she sells larger ones that allow people to do exercises on them more easily, and to use weights. The platform movement turns standing still into an exercise, and amplifies any exercise that you do while on the machine. Conveniently, The one that made the most sense for our situation (the gentle 500) was the least expensive and doable for the budget, especially on sale... it was a good sale, right at The Christmas holiday).I did not mean to do it advertisement, lol, but your name reminded me...And I am apt to do essays in the comment section. Have a great day!

Hey Bob Brad don’t you thinks it’s time to upgrade to better microphones instead of the truckers microphones?
You did not demo what to actually do with the tennis ball.
Most people can't pass the hand test - almost all palms are to the back. In younger people. I am finding most under about 25 can't fully extend their arms.
I know I’m excited on days when my hands point the right way! The modern lifestyle really does a number on posture.
must have mattress
The 80’s theme song beginning is beyond hilarious
CANDICE
What about hypnosis 🙄🤔?.
As a reminder to stand up straight?
I can’t lay flat on my back. I’m 85 and have had 4 back surgeries.
hypermobility is causes these problems
What if yo can't stand up
It ok you just go down.
Don't fall in love
Not hiring someone for their posture! For shame… I have rounded shoulders - it doesn’t make me stupid or a bad person - you should point out that judging aptitude by appearance isn’t acceptable.
Bob sounds Drunk
See his comment above... mouth surgery to remove cysts.
I've read that rounded shoulders may by caused by a breathing issue and so the body compensates by moving the head forward. Bob may have something wrong with his occlusion and I would bet money he has a tongue tie or a lip tie (has a bit of a speech impediment and he clenches because his masseter is quite developed). He might need Myofunctional therapy, a frenectomy and/or orthodontics. Exercise till kingdom come, but you still need to treat the underlying cause.
I think is the other way. Rounded shoulders cause breathing problems.
@@CoNSu_11 how did the shoulders get rounded in the first place?. When the airway is blocked, we move our head forward just a bit to compensate and be able to breathe, over the years the shoulders become rounded because of forward head posture.
@@eleanorrigby2923 in daily life we use more internal rotation than external rotation of the shoulders, with time, shoulders got fixed in that rounded posture, and then, breathing problems arrive.
Internal rotation movements, include PC and cellphones usage, brushing teeth, brushing hair, also, sitting for long periods promotes it. And if you're a girl, well breast weight and gravity contribute to the equation.
@Ghandi Blyat ok, i edited a bit.
Bob why is your speech slurring did you have a shot and a beer for lunch?
See his comment above... mouth surgery to remove cysts.
Are they drunk
See comment above - Bob had surgery on his mouth to remove cysts.
