pop and Brad the two most famous
physical therapists on the
internet hi I'm Bob shr physical
therapist Brad HCK physical therapist
caught you off guard there is it and
together we have the most famous
physical therapist on the internet well
in our opinion of course Bob Brad I I
have to say this I think you're
brilliant you come up with an idea on
how to make your own lumbar role well
actually I got to say it wasn't my idea
it was a patient of mine and you you
know as well as I do the patients often
times come up with some ideas so if you
need a lumbar roll or support for in
your car or in your chair at home lumbar
meaning back back this is a bought one
it cost $16.99 from optp it's an
excellent McKenzie roll and you can buy
it online and you're going to put it
right back here at the belt line or just
above wherever it fits can you see that
Lonnie and it fits very nice very
comfortable the only problem with these
is when I give these to patients or have
them buy one
sometimes it doesn't work right it's not
the right thing for the back so if they
purchase one for $ 1516 or $20 and it
works they're very happy to give $20 but
if it doesn't work they're mad at you
yeah they're mad at you or if they don't
have the money it's like are there
options and yes there is what you do is
you go to the dollar store or one of
those stores or go online and you get
one of these noodles that looks like
this it's got the hole through the
middle this was 3 foot long so it's a
swimming noodle right and it cost me a
dollar at the Dollars Dollar General in
the cross and thecross yeah so I cut
this here if you use a seriated knife or
a hacka blade works really good that
cuts just like butter really easy you
take that so for 33 cents basically
you're going to get a lumbar roll now
you put and like I and cars is a real
common place for these yeah now that's
too big H I can feel that too much
support for some for some people that
might be the right size especially a
larger person a larger person or someone
who's in the throws of really bad back
pain sometimes they really want the
larger role to start off with and you'll
know because it's going to feel good
right away it's going to feel like oh
that's good support or in my case too
big the other place that might work is
on a a couch a soft couch yep so I'm not
talking about the couch just hold on I'm
on a roll okay let her rip so if it's
too big simply cut it lengthwise it cuts
really easy I used the hacksaw blade and
I just really easy I'm sure a s knife
would work good so I cut it in half and
I put that back in there as a matter of
fact I drove 30 miles this morning to
come to do this with Bob and it felt so
good I completely forgot about it wow
and my back was that's a good sign yeah
so I knew when I got here it's like oh
yeah that's right I put this in here so
and there are options you can put it in
this way you want to flip it this way
you get a little more surface on your
back or if it's still too thick I found
out you can cut it lengthwise to even
make a little bit thin dinner and that
was it was so easy to cup up it was
fun just like that again accelerated
knife would probably work on oh yeah or
if you got one of those knif that
electric ones that go like that use your
that you cut your turkey with it yeah or
your cake or your birthday cake oh yeah
yeah so no seriously it's a wonderful
option it's very inexpensive and they're
effective yeah and then you can just
leave this in your car you don't have to
worry if you lose it because it only
cost you well this would only cost you
156 cents 17 cents exactly you can keep
you know the thing is what we do is I I
we do use just a little piece of foam
like this and I keep a bunch of in my
car cuz I'm always having trouble
finding them and then uh a lot of times
my wife used to make fun of these until
she started needing them and so now she
needs one for her seat so we both got
and now my kids sometimes go oh dad you
got an extra one of those and they're
putting it behind your back so the nice
thing about these too is not only are
cheap but you get different colors this
is a nice reddish pink you can get green
that church Sho screen now I'm making a
little fun here but it's a great it's a
good option cheap effective oh why
thanks for watching
