- Hi folks. I'm Bob Schropp, physical therapist.
- Brad Heineck, physical therapist.
- Together, we are the most famous physical therapists
on the internet
- In our opinion, of course, Bob.
- And today we're going to talk about how to get off and on.
Well, get the on and off the floor
using the Bob and Brad twist.
- Twist. Oh. You've been practicing?
- Yeah
- This is like the dance.
- Well, it's not like the dance, but it's,
there's a little bit twist involved.
- Yeah, there's a trick to it.
And seriously, it's something
that it can be very helpful for someone by themselves.
If they're not able to do this easily.
- Well even as I hit the 61 and I'm big and tall.
It makes it easier for me to get on and off the floor.
- Yeah, it definitely makes a difference on your stature.
- All right, well, we're going to get started.
At the end, we'll show you what we're giving away today.
- Oh - So stick around
Let's start off.
You want to spread your legs apart
and you're going to put the strong leg forward.
- So, we're talking shoulder width, about
- About shoulder width.
Now, Brad and I had this discussion, which leg is stronger?
- And some people know
because of experience and other people may not.
- If you tend to get down and you always drop the right knee
your left knee is probably stronger,
because you got used to doing it
or vice versa.
So, all you do is put your legs apart,
strong leg forward, which is my left leg.
I'm going to slowly use my hands on my thighs
to creep my way down.
- It's kind of like putting the brakes on.
So you have ride control - Right, you're under control.
All right, now you get to the knees.
Now, you keep going with on the weak leg
all the way down
you bend and you bend your back,
and you get to the floor
and now you can put your fingertips up
or you can put a fist,
whichever is more comfortable for you.
Then you're going to start bending this knee,
the weak knee, and you're going to come down to the floor,
and that's where the twist comes, right here.
- The twist. - Yep.
You're rolling right around.
- Okay.
- You can slowly lower yourself.
Now you can twist on the way up, too.
You can get up to the knee and just twist like this
and get up. But that to me is harder.
I'm going to show you a different way, but before I do that,
Brad, I want to show you how to get up.
Let's say all the way down, all the way on your back
like this. - [Brad] Sure.
- All right. First step, is you want
to get onto your knees and your hands,
the quadruped position.
So, you're going to bring one leg up.
It doesn't matter which side,
well, I'll go was left side here,
and this arm I'm going to put out
and I'm going to get over to this way.
So, I going to swing like this,
- [Brad] So, you're rolling your whole trunk
to the side, with the arm out.
- On to my right side.
Now, once I get to the right side here,
I can bend the knees and I can push up with the arm
and push up with this arm, both arms at the same time
like this.
And then I just turn and twist right onto my knees.
- [Brad] Okay.
- Now, once I'm in this position,
I think this is more under control, Brad.
Now, you're going to bring, again, the stronger leg up.
I'm going to put my hand on this knee.
So, I'm kind of in a three-point position. Hand, knee, foot.
And right from here, I'm going to get my foot,
so I'm on my toes on this side,
and I'm gonna push up.
- There you go.
So, you don't have to slide that foot forward.
It's kind of a twist motion there, but not as exaggerated.
- Right. Now, both of these are a lot easier
if there's furniture nearby
- So that you can use the furniture
for your hand to push.
- Right. - And stabilize
- If you want to bring that chair over, Brad.
- Stabilize yourself. Where would you like it?
- Well, let's say I want to get down, first off.
- Yeah, okay.
- Again, we got the strong leg forward.
- Okay.
- The weak leg back.
We're creeping down to our knees
and now I can put my hand right here.
- Sure.
- And now I can lower myself down
like this, a lot easier.
Now getting back up,
let's say, we're already into this quadruped position.
You know, you put your hands up here,
you can bring this arm up. It's just a lot easier to stand.
- Right. So if you've got something available.
- A bed, a couch, a chair.
- The firmer, it is the better it'll work
versus if it's softer,
but you use softer, it's still better than nothing
- Right. If you fall,
and you're, you know, you're injured,
you should try to crawl to a phone
or crawl to a window, and yell help.
- Right. Cause if, yeah,
if you got a fractured hip and you'd try to get up
and it makes it worse, it's very painful.
- It's not going to go well, I'm afraid to say, so.
Anything else? Oh, we want to add our giveaway.
- Oh, sure.
- I think it is the new massager
that we're giving away here. This is the
- XT6
- T6
- Yeah, I know the 6 is in there.
- So, all of our massagers have five speeds
and all of our massagers have five different heads.
This one, actually has one head that screws in versus the
interference fit, where it just pops in.
- Right. And these plastic ones,
that happens to be a steel on stainless steel.
It's a little more aggressive.
And it only comes with this
larger gun that is more aggressive.
- Yeah. You could heat this up and cool down,
which I really don't see the purpose of.
- Meh, that might be a marketing thing, but you still can.
And, initially, if you pull it out of the freezer,
you'll feel that coldness.
- That's True. But yes, it does seem
to penetrate really well.
Now, that's the big thing about this gun
versus some of our other ones.
It's a lot more powerful.
- Right. Right.
It has a little longer travel or amplitudes,
so it's going to get in deeper
and it's got more power just because
it's a larger motor and, you know,
so, it's going to be for those larger, you know,
muscular people,
people that are oftentimes more athletic will want that.
You know, if you're a frail, you know, not a frail,
but a thin person, maybe 50, 60 years old, you probably,
you know, might want to go with a smaller one.
- Lot of athletes I think will want to choose this one.
- Yeah, exactly.
- They're muscular.
They're, you know, like me.
- And if you're just a guy,
because guys always want something bigger.
(grunting)
Give me the biggest horsepower.
- All right. Check it out, go to bobandbrad.com,
and go to the giveaway section.
- Oh yes.
- Or you can go to Bob and Brad on Facebook.
It'll be pinned at the top of the page.
- Right up there somewhere. Just click on it
- Sign up for it.
- That's right.
Good luck. And be careful.
