(Brad exhaling)
- Okay! Today, Brad and I are gonna show you
three simple fixes for your foot pain.
And two of 'em don't even cost 'em any Brad.
- Whoa! But Bob I'm concerned
about our English major friend, Karen,
because I don't think this is right,
"fixing"? Maybe we should say "solving".
- Sure. Okay.
- One way or another, the foot's gonna feel better.
- All right.
♪ Bob and Brad, the two most famous ♪
♪ Physical Therapists, ♪
♪ on the internet. ♪
- All right, the first fix Brad
- [Brad] oo
- is we're gonna need a couple golf balls.
- Yes, we're gonna golf.
- So you find your Loca Duffer
and you grab a couple golf balls. Okay?
- Yeah, cause these aren't new ones are they?
- No,
- No.
- and you want to get the cheap ones.
- Yeah. Absolutely.
- Top Flite.
- Oh Top Flite aren't very good?
- Bad. Right.
- Oh yeah. (inaudible)
- All right all you do is
we're gonna tape 'em together.
- Yep.
- Using duct tape.
So let's go ahead and get started Brad.
- Yeah. Red Green would be proud of us.
- Yeah.
- Absolutely!
- So this is the part where you can
really condense it down.
- So Bob, there's no particular way to tape it.
- [Bob] No.
- [Brad] The whole goal is to get 'em taped together.
And even if you don't have duct tape
you could try something else.
You know, gorilla tape, masking tape probably won't work.
Oh yes, look at that.
You know,
this is one of those things you know
you could have your spouse or someone else
in the home do if they would prefer, you know?
Oh, that's a nice job Bob.
- Thanks. (Bob chuckles)
- It means a lot to me, Brad.
All right, we're nearing the end here.
One more round.
- Yeah, zoom in on that close.
(Brad chuckles)
You don't have to I'm just kiddin.
You're the boss.
- No.
- They know what they're doing.
- [Bob] Exactly. This all take two seconds.
- [Brad] Right.
- [Bob] That's all.
- [Brad] derp derp derp derp
- All right then you smooth out
and here you go.
Something like that.
- All right.
- All right the end result is
hopefully you'll get something that looks like this.
It's a lot more, less aggressive.
- Yeah.
- Than one ball.
You take the two balls
- And it's more manageable too.
- Right. And the other thing,
the ball won't roll away from you.
- Yeah.
- It's under your desk.
- Yep.
- So, What do you think, Brad?
- I really like it.
I've never done the double golf ball
- right
- on a program like this, but I'm definitely,
- Well, I think I invented it.
- Yeah.
(Bob chuckles)
I think we could call this The Bob Ball foot massage.
- [Bob] There we go, Bob golf ball massage.
- [Brad] There you go!
And then, you know,
I'm thinking you could get into golfing
and put that on the T and
(Bob sheeshing)
do a whole game with the double ball.
See what happens.
- Sure.
- All right.
It wouldn't hurt my game.
(Bob and Brad laughing)
- All right, let's go to number two Brad.
- Mm hm
- This is a number two fix.
We actually just need a butter knife.
- Yep.
- Yep. And we're not gonna use the blade end.
- Nope.
- We're gonna use the handle.
- Yep.
- And Brad, you wanna take away?
- Sure! So on this
it's from a technique we've had
from one of our guests that worked with us,
it's called the Graston.
- Graston. Yes.
- Yep. So you need a lubricant.
We're talking about if you maybe you have
Plantar fasciitis in the origin of the pain
is right here and it's tender,
- [Bob] Right.
- We're gonna actually take the handle of the butter knife,
as Bob mentioned,
we're gonna not go into the painful spot
but just away from it.
And we're gonna go away from that painful point like this
and at this angle, we're not gonna tilt it this way.
I don't know if you can
that's easy to see in the camera.
So, you know, this would be like, you know
if you're from the north, this is how you would shovel.
- It's shoveling.
- And if you angle it this way,
you could think of it as
- Rake.
- raking those leaves in the fall.
So we're gonna shovel.
Okay. Now, it really helps to get some kind of lubricant.
You can use
- [Bob] Or cream
- [Brad] Yep. Anything you want
that you have around the house.
This happens to be our "cowabunga" cream, we like it,
it smells good and everything nice.
- [Bob] Oh, that smells really good.
- [Brad] Yeah! So your feet will smell good.
- [Bob] I really want to eat this.
(Bob chuckles)
- [Brad] Be liberal with this, put a lot on there.
Yeah, but I don't think we should eat it.
- [Bob] No.
- [Brad] Not until after the video.
- [Bob] Absolutely not.
- [Brad] So now I'm gonna start like this
and you could do with one hand,
but I like it on the foot it works well like this.
- [Bob] No two hands I would
- [Brad] Whoa! I oh it in fact caught
went on my sock instead of the
- [Bob] That's gross.
(Brad chuckling)
- [Bob] All right, you want, keep going for what?
Three to four minutes, Brad, until it gets red.
- Yeah. Yeah, until you see the skin
start to turn red.
And that means you're improving the circulation.
And anytime you improve the circulation
you're gonna improve the healing.
- Now this really isn't the Graston technique with that,
they actually have tools you buy.
- Right.
- Yep. But you know, you can use this
- Yep.
- You can see some redness starting right here,
and that's good.
And I'm gonna continue
- Generally, it feels good right Brad?
- Yeah. And I can tell if I push really hard,
it's gonna hurt.
So I'm not gonna push really hard.
I'm just gonna push moderately.
Yes! And I can see
- Well done Brad.
- Oh, well yeah.
- We gotta move on.
- Yeah, we gotta move on.
You can see the redness.
- Yeah.
- So again, two to three minutes
is typically the amount of time.
Okay, good. So after you're done with the
massage with the butter knife,
you're gonna have to, you know
clean things up and then
look at the skin over the next 24 hours.
If there is redness and bruising,
which can happen if you're too aggressive,
you do not wanna do it the next day.
You wanna wait until the bruising is gone.
- [Bob] Until it calms down.
- It may take two to three days.
If it looks good by the next day,
you can certainly do this day after day.
And as it improves, you can spread it out.
Instead of every day, every other day.
And eventually, you're done with it.
The pain's better, and you continue on.
- All right the final fix.
I know you don't like the word bad Brad,
- No it's not that I don't like it,
- Sorry
- I want it to be, you know, help out some.
- All right, it's gonna be a Bob and Brad foot massager.
This is our new unit.
It's actually cheaper.
- Mmhm.
- It's less expensive than our other one.
It doesn't have a handle, but I really like this one.
This is my favorite foot massager, Brad.
So I'm gonna pretend that it's working right now.
Yeah, it's gonna feel really good.
- Well, I do wanna say that if you don't have one
those you can massage your foot by hand like this.
- Right.
- The thing is about this is you're gonna,
and we can do the splain and get in with your thumbs.
After about two to three minutes
your thumbs and fingers get pretty darn tired.
And if you have arthritic hands
you're not probably gonna even last that long.
And that's where the foot massager
- Right.
- Just rules.
- When I do this at night, Brad,
I'll do like three four rounds.
Like 15 minutes is so for an hour.
- Yeah, yeah.
- I mean, I'm not gonna massage my feet for an hour.
- If you did, then you need someone to take
- [Bob] Right. Massage hands
- care of your hands because your hands
are getting beat up.
- The other thing I like about this one
Brad it's comes with a remote.
- Yeah.
- And may not seem like that big a deal
but every time I'm reaching down here trying to figure out
you know, if you had need your reading glasses,
(Brad chuckles)
you can't see what you're hitting.
- Right.
- But this actually has knead intensity,
air pressure, air mode, and heat.
- Yeah. So I like the knead.
It's talking about like if you knead bread,
the massager underneath the foot where it massages
the bottom of your foot,
you can adjust that, correct? That's
- Right.
- Yep.
- Right. It's just, it's a great all in one unit.
- Yeah.
- Yeah I think it's a fair price and
I'm gonna be an advocate for it.
- Well, I know Bob really likes it.
I do too. And I think the air pressure,
we need to let people know it actually compresses
the foot and you can adjust the intensity on that.
- Well, yeah, you can adjust it
because the high end is probably too much for me.
- Yep.
- But the low end is too little for me.
- Right.
- So I'm in the middle just right.
- Absolutely. I'm still working on mine but all right.
- All right, I honestly don't wanna smell it.
(Brad chuckles)
