- Check one two three.
One, two-- - - Hi folks,
I'm Bob Schrupp, physical therapist.
- Brad Heineck, physical therapist.
- We are the most famous physical therapists
on the internet.
- In our own opinion, of course, Bob.
- Yes, believe it or not, the title is
"How to Beat the Crap Out of Leg Pain."
Quadriceps, hamstring, calf,
and I'm gonna give some personal, you know, results here.
- But that still deserves a why Bob, why?

Also, you want to join us on our social media channels
and also, go to bobandbrad.com
because we're always giving something away
and this week, it's a doozy.
We're giving away a mattress, a SleepOvation mattress--
- [Brad] Oh, yes.
- And they've come out with a pillow now.
And this is so cool.
This pillow, this is a cross-section of one.
It actually has springs inside.
- [Brad] Right.
- So it's got the foam, the separate foam squares here,
and yeah, this is the end result, here.
It's a really nice pillow.
- Yeah.
And you can't feel them, it folds up beautiful.
- No, you can't feel them, but it keeps it cool, you know.
Because, you know, a lot of times memory foam is warm.
- Right, I understand, it's cool.
- All right, yeah, it's cool.
So go to Bob and Brad and go to the giveaway section
to sign up for that
or you can also go to Facebook.
It's pinned at the top of the page.
And, you want a short version of us,
go to Instagram or Twitter.
- There you go.
Let's carry on. - All right.
So, deep tissue massage can be very effective
in treating, like, overuse injuries, tears,
or just, like, muscle tightness.
- Right, or those chronic injuries,
it's like it's been healing for months,
and you wonder why it's not getting better.
- Yeah, it just keeps coming back, flaring back up again,
and I unfortunately had two incidents
in the last two years.
So I had, first I had a quadricep tendonitis.
So that's where the quadricep attaches into the top
of the kneecap, and, I tried everything, Brad.
I mean, I tried my manual massage.
I tried everything-- - Sure.
- And I finally took a Renpho massager
and, this might seem a little contraindicted,
but I actually ran it right across
the top of the knee like this.
- Yeah. - Like this, more like this.
And it was like a miracle.
I'm not kidding.
It was like in two days, it was 90% better.
- So how long did you run it across there?
- Oh, I would do it for, I mean,
three, four, five minutes, you know.
That's the thing with a massager.
It does all the work.
- Your fingers don't get sore
and tired. - Right.
So we put up a video on this, Brad,
and I look back on it,
and we got more comments, like positive comments,
about people who tried this.
- Sure.
- So it's great for quadricep tendonitis.
The second thing I got was,
last year I tore my calf muscle.
Kinda stupid; over-training.
And that thing was nagging.
I mean, it just kept going on and on.
And I would massage it twice a day.
I'd massage it in the mornings,
and I would massage it at night, right,
before I try to walk and stuff like that.
- Sure.
- Anyway, so this does a good job.
It's inexpensive, only like 39 bucks.
But this is amateur hour, compared to this.
So we were, it's interesting.
This is like a massage gun, I guess you'd call it.
We were approached by a company,
probably a little over a year ago about showing this
on our channel. - Sure.
- And I don't know if you know how things work
with Brad and I, but, we get approached probably five to six
times a day with products.
- Sure.
- And we've taken the approach now that
either it's heck yes, or it's heck no.
I mean, we've got to love it.
And we liked the product, but it was 400 bucks at the time.
I'm like, that's just too much money.
So, they've come down and they've actually
improved the product and Renpho is selling out
and it's 160 bucks.
Lot of money, yet. - Right.
- But this, again, this is like a power tool.
This is like, DEWALT or what's Milwaukee, you said?
- Milwaukee, yep, rigid, awesome.
Professional grade cordless tools.
It has the same technology.
It's got the brushless motor in there.
It's got the--
- And I don't know what the brushless motor means,
but Brad used to repair motors,
big motors, like in factories?
- Industrial.
- Industrial motors, right.
- Yeah, no, it's, well, pretty much everyone is going to it.
But it's much better than the old brush motors.
- Yeah, so Brad, you want to just show 'em,
maybe on your quad and hamstring--
- Oh, sure.
- But it's got percussion, and it just, it also has, like,
four different heads that come on with it,
that's the round one.
This one kind of, can work around the spine, you know.
It's got like, a pointer.
- You can hear that?
It adjust from zero to 20.
That's the maximum.
It's a little aggressive for me.
This is really good to get in soft tissue.
Say if you have a hamstring injury
and you want to get in deep.
I'm going to-- - Yeah.
That's where it pays for itself.
- Right and you can work it.
And I can really put some pressure on it
and it doesn't bog it down.
- [Bob] Yeah, it's got 20 adjustable speeds.
- [Brad] Can you see my?
- Yeah, I can. - Whoa!
- [Bob] It's percussion.
It's not just vibration.
- [Brad] I'm going to warn you.
You're not going to do this over your bone.
It's gotta be soft tissue--
- [Bob] That's why I like it, for the heavy muscles.
- [Brad] Yep.
- [Bob] That's where it works out good.
- [Brad] Woo!
- The other thing is, when I looked at that one
about a year ago, it was getting bad reviews
because it was so loud.
- Yeah.
- But this one is really pretty quiet.
So yeah, I mean, it's not--
- Well, you can hear it. - You can hear it, but--
- You'll be able to watch TV and do this at the same time.
- Right. - No problem.
- So, I looked it up, Brad, the ratings on it.
It got all four or five star ratings.
So I mean, you know, people are buying it
and they're liking it.
So I know this sounds like a commercial,
but the thing is, again,
if there's products that we really like,
we're gonna go ahead and bring them to you.
- Right.
- And out of thousands of products
that we've been approached,
we're down to about 10 that, you know, we really like.
Some of them happen to be our own, but--
- Well that's different.
- Yeah, that's different. - They are good.
- So we'll have a link down below.
You can check it out.
And if that seems to be too much for you,
you could try the Renpho handheld massager.
It does a good job too as far as--
- Right, if you don't think you wanna get real aggressive,
I really think if you're a thin person that
doesn't have a lot of muscle bulk--
- That might do the job.
- You might want to do this one.
- All right, thanks, everybody, for watching!
