- Hi folks I'm Bob Schrupp, physical therapist.
- Brad Heineck, physical therapist.
- And we are the most famous
physical therapists on the internet.
- In our opinion, of course, Bob.
- Today, we're gonna talk about five reasons
we love infrared heat and especially by Thermotex.
It's no secret that Brad and I
are big fans of infrared heat.
It's one of our favorite treatments
but before we go any further Brad.
- What?
- In case you are new to our channel,
please take a second to subscribe to us.
We provide videos on how to stay healthy and fit,
pain-free and we upload everyday.
Also, you can join us on our social media channels
because we are always giving away something
and we happen to be giving away
a Thermotex infrared heat system today.
It's a beautiful system.
You're gonna really want one
even if you don't have any pain right now.
It's gonna prevent you from having pain. (laughing)
You can go to OfficialBobAndBrad Instagram
but actually, where you really wanna go
is probably bobandbrad.com - Sure.
- We got the giveaway section
tr you can go to BobAndBrad on Facebook.
We always have it pinned to the top of the page
and personally Brad and I like
the Thermotex Platinum for a number of reasons
and we're gonna go over those right now.
- Exactly right, Bob.
- So number one, penetration of heat.
So regular, conventional heat.
We got a ruler, or a yard stick
that's gonna demonstrate this.
Regular, conventional heat just
penetrates a few millimeters.
- So when we say conventional heat,
it's your typical $30,
$40 electric heat pad you get
down at the pharmacy store or wherever.
- Right exactly, now the infrared heat
actually penetrates 60 millimeters,
six centimeters or actually 2.36 inches.
You can see the difference between the two
so this one, you can see how it's gonna
penetrate into joints, into the joints of the back,
in through the joints of the arm.
- And in through those thick muscles.
- The thick muscles right, especially--
- Oh you look, Bob you are strong.
- Yeah so anyway, it makes a big difference
and that leads us to number two actually.
It comes with these extra straps, the Platinum model does
and you can actually wear the device
while you're working and it comes with an eight foot cord
so you can easily work around it
and if you have the straps in place,
they also will help you with your posture.
- Why don't you turn around, Bob.
He's talking about it, so you're working
at a computer work station, you get that pain,
those knots in your back and neck.
This can actually shift up to do the lower neck as well.
It's gonna get into those muscles
and feel that relief while you work
so you can continue to be productive.
- While concurrently keeping you in good posture
'cause everyone wants to go like this
and the straps help pull you back.
This is my go to device
when I'm working a lot at the computer
because it helps knocks the pain out.
Number three, the cost of running this is pennies a day
even if it's on all day so the company,
Thermotex has a unit, a Platinum unit
that they plugged in and it's been turned on
since October 1st of 2000.
- And they leave it running 24/7?
- Yeah so how many years is that Brad?
- Well that'd be a lot.
(laughing) Nope, 2000, that'd be 19 years Bob.
- Well, 19 years this year in October.
- Carry the one.
- And it's in the reception area
so I think that's really cool.
It shows the durability of the object, too.
- Right and the infrared is just inherently
much more efficient than the resist of the heat
that comes off the conventional one.
- Sure and Brad's gonna show how versatile the Thermotex is,
the Platinum is. - Right.
So the one that Bob has on his back is the same model.
- Yup, it just comes with extra straps.
- Roll it like here, use one of the straps
and you can put your hands in it and you can work,
you get all the joints in your hands this way
'cause it's completely surrounded your joints
and your hands and your wrist so that's one way.
- It's gonna penetrate all the way through that.
By the way, it looks like you need one there
on your thumb. - Yeah.
Oh my goodness gracious.
We won't talk about that Bob.
That's another episode of my life. (laughing)
You can use the same thing
and go around the knee.
So like Bob said, we got a, what do we call these?
- The panels.
- The panel here, three panels
and that's gonna penetrate.
- Yeah between the two, this panel and this panel.
It's gonna go all the way through the knee.
- Right, so you really get some really good functional heat.
- [Bob] You can roll the ankle, you can roll the hip,
you can roll the shoulder.
- The hip works really nicely.
You can tuck it in there,
especially if you're in a recliner.
- [Bob] You can get the low back,
you can get the upper back, you can get the neck.
- This is how Bob and I use ours at home.
I actually use mine for my low back
and I think you bring yours up a little higher.
- A little higher, that's right.
- Right in your recliner.
- Right in my recliner. - Right so you're reading
your book, you know.
- [Bob] I have it strapped around my pillow.
- Oh you do? - [Bob] Yeah.
- Well, everyone does something different
you know what I'm saying.
- Alright, our number five reason
we love infrared heat by Thermotex is that
it's a great company.
They're from Calgary, Canada.
They've been in business for 20+ years.
- Right.
- They got these products registered
with Health Canada and the FDA of USA.
- Right.
- It's a good solid product.
If you wanna get the discount from us,
just put in FAMOUSPTX for the Platinum
and for all the other ones they have,
which they have quite an array,
just put FAMOUSPT.
- Now if they want the one with the shoulder straps,
is there a specific way--
- Just FAMOUSPTX, the Platinum one.
- And that'll come with the shoulder straps.
- That'll come with the shoulder straps.
- Okay good.
- Thanks everybody for watching.
