- Perfect posture, Bob!
We continue to promote perfect posture
because it's so important for your health,
your appearance and your wellbeing.
- And pain control.
- Pain control is exactly right.
- Big part.
- Yep. We're gonna show you a nice protocol
for our repertoire to guarantee you success with this OI.
- Repertoire...
- Yeah
- Wow.
- I looked it up for starters
- Oh, it means something.
- Yep. So hold on 9.3 seconds.
We're gonna show you how to get
that perfect posture quickly.
♪ Bob and Brad ♪
♪ The two most famous ♪
♪ Physical therapists ♪
♪ On the internet. ♪
- Okay. So you might be wondering
how am I gonna get perfect posture in seven days?
Well, this is a protocol that is like none other.
And what we're gonna use is the key is using Kinesio tape
or K tape, which you can, it's not very expensive.
You can get it all over the place.
About $10 for a roll.
Here, we're gonna use
it is different color where you use pink.
Cause that's Bob's favorite color, right Bob?
- Yep!
- Okay. So you do need help with this.
Obviously Bob is gonna be the subject.
He's lying prone and he's has his arms like this.
That's gonna help bring his shoulders
and shoulder blades into that posture position
which we wanna keep.
Now, Kinesio tape is really nice to use.
You don't have to sit there and peel, just pull and rip.
And the backing comes off very easily.
Okay. And I'm gonna stretch it.
Get that outta the way.
You're gonna find out that it stretches.
Now, here's I got it pulled all the way tight.
That's a hundred percent stretch we're gonna put
about you're gonna a hundred percent
and then back off about 50% and that's good.
There's no real exact science here.
Now we're gonna go across.
Yeah, let's pull all that off.
Here we go.
We're gonna go across.
I'm gonna start on one shoulder
and no stretch for the first inch.
There's no stretch.
Rub it down.
And then I'm gonna put the stretch on pat, pat, pat, pat
and then on the other end.
No stretch for the last half inch that anchors it.
Okay. And that works all good.
Put it down.
And then you take the backing.
There's a slippery side of it.
Oops. And don't drop it.
Just take that and rub it across the shoulders.
How you doing Bob?
- Good.
Okay. Now, as long as the skin is clean
before you put it on, I've had this tape last up to a week
and that includes a shower every day,
going swimming in the pool two days a week
and it will stay on.
If you start picking at it, pulling at it, then it won't.
But you know how many people do that?
Especially on your backside here.
So it's gonna stay.
Okay. We're show you how this works when we get Bob up.
Okay. So the tape is on.
You can wear it, like I said, 24/7.
It works out wonderful.
Now Bob is in good posture.
Now shoulder blades back head is up now slouch Bob
and you see the tape stretches and Bob,
can you feel that?
- Yep.
- He doesn't have a mic on, but yes
he's saying yes, you feel it pull.
So it's a continual reminder when you feel it, pull
straighten back up, get it where it belongs
and that's where you're gonna be.
So every day you're gonna feel that 24/7
and we got some other hints
that are gonna also get that posture
where it belongs.
So hold on and it'll tell you in a second.
Okay. Now the other thing you're gonna need to
do is every day, at least every 30 minutes
as simple posture exercises our famous W's,
like Bob is doing
- Chin tuck at the same time.
- Yep. So chin goes in and you go like that.
Do three to five of those.
If you wanna go up to the wall, this is an even better way.
Lean up against the wall, tuck the back of your head
in chin here and then, you know, your perfect posture
and then do your W then you can do wall angels
- [Bob] Angels, right.
- Try to keep your arms and elbows touch to the wall.
And that really strengthens those postural muscles
to force you into that great posture.
Okay. Now the next thing is,
every time you walk through a doorway,
whether it's at work or at home
or the grocery store...
- Right?
- You go like this and put your arms on the door...
- Frame...
- Frame yep.
And just squeeze in a little stretch.
So we get a little stretch
- [Bob] Right
- In those upper Peck muscles
- They tend to be tight.
- Right.
So people will talk as you go through the door
- Right?
- Two or three stretches...
- Block the door, right.
- But one way or another, it is a nice stretch.
You don't have to do it all over the place,
but at least in your house.
And last but not least the final thing...
- To have a phone, right?
- The most important thing is reminder, reminder, reminder.
So you have perfect posture and becomes a absolute habit
is picture on your phone.
What's it called again?
- Background.
- Background, get a picture of yourself
or somebody with perfect posture, smiling
and put on their perfect posture.
So every time you look at your phone, oh yeah.
- You could go old school and use post notes.
- Yeah, put Post-Its
and put 'em on your mirror in the morning.
- Right. Everywhere.
- I put it on my computer, on my car, right
on the radio thing, because it sticks there when
I need to remember.
- Oh, good.
- Yeah. Yeah.
- And then you can throw 'em out
and I'll go through a whole bundle of those if you
- Brad, pick up some milk.
- Exactly. Right.
Okay. So that perfect posture again, the tape, the reminders
the W's going through the doorway stretches.
It will work, do it every day.
And you're gonna find yourself like this
without even thinking about it.
- And less pain in your life.
- Absolutely gonna breathe better
feel better and do better!
- Look better!
- And once again, this will have absolutely nothing to do
with us being able to fix a...
- Broken heart.
- Broken heart, but you know what it might.
Yeah. Whatever.
Okay.
- Who knows?
Good luck on everything.
