- Hi folks, I'm Bob Schrupp, Physical Therapist.
- Brad Heineck, Physical Therapist.
- Yes, we are the most famous
physical therapists on the Internet.
- In our opinion, of course, Bob.
- Brad's gonna tell us a story.
Brad, how about a bedtime story?
- Well, this happened a number of years ago, Bob
and I was still in my puberty.
No, I'm just kidding.
Actually, it was just a couple months ago.
I was on my couch watching TV
and I did something we preach not to do.
I lyed like this, I had two pillows like this
and I thought, oh, this could make my neck sore.
So, I kind of adjusted myself and it was a good movie,
I thought it was going to be good enough,
whatever, I was enthralled by the movie,
action and all that stuff.
And so here I was, now, I thought I was kind of straight
because I was aware of it but obviously --
- You weren't.
- Yeah, because I wasn't thinking about it so much.
And I was probably --
- So, the TV was over here?
- Yeah, the TV was off to the right.
My wife moved the furniture.
She wasn't thinking about me. - Posture.
- Well, she was.
I better not say anymore.
Anyways, so, here I am watching it and the movie was good.
I went to bed, I fell asleep
and the next morning I woke up and my neck,
well, you saw it. - I saw it, it was bad.
- For a whole week, my neck has kinked.
And I'm doing all the exercises.
- I mean really bad.
- Yeah, it hurt like crazy.
It was no fun, I couldn't do this
and you know how it is.
And finally, I got it to work out.
I can't remember which technique really worked.
Do you remember?
- I thought you did the thing on the upper cervical area,
the rotational. - Yeah.
What's his name again?
- Mulligan. - Mulligan technique, right.
Anyways, that's not part of this.
So really you need to watch your posture
when you're lying down watching --
- You think it's really benign
but, Brad, why don't to show a couple
inappropriate ways to watch TV.
- Exactly. - And then read also.
- So, let's say you have your bed
and there's a wall or the back rest of the bed.
And so, it's common to put a pillow here, and here,
and then you get your knees up for a place to put your book
and you open the book up.
- So look at him, his neck is forward.
His head is forward.
His upper back is rounded out.
This is a postural nightmare.
- Yeah, I wouldn't do this.
No matter how good the movie was.
- But the same could be with watching TV in bed.
You lie down flat.
You could have a couple of pillows just like you did
when you were on your couch.
- Right, exactly, like this or I may be down like this,
trying to achieve some kind of comfort.
But again, you get wrapped up in your book
or your movie, the TV, whatever.
So we're going to show you a nice option to eliminate
and make your body healthy
and still enjoy your entertainment of reading, watching TV.
- So, this is a Flexispot frame, bed frame.
And it's got a little remote here.
And look at this.
- It's not a TV remote.
- I did go all the way down because it takes a while.
- Yeah, it goes that fast.
- But look at this, now I'm in the right position
to read or to watch TV.
- Here, use this pillow because they can't see
that white against white, there you go.
- Could I be a better posture?
- And if you're going to read,
you might even throw a couple more pillows.
You know how we promote pillows.
And then you can relax your arms
and you're going to read faster too.
You'll get through that book a little faster.
- Yep, I just scan with my hands.
(Brad chuckling)
I'm kind of a phenom.
- Yeah, you read right to left or left to right?
- Left to right.
- (laughing) Good.
- I'm done.
- Wow, there's a Tom Brady book on resistance training.
- So, anyway, they're having a great deal
on these beds right now, Brad.
I want to make sure our subscribers knew about it.
They're actually giving a hundred bucks off.
- So you're talking about the bed or the bed frame?
- The bed frame.
- The bed frame, the metal frame that this mattress is on.
But the mattress doesn't come with it.
- It does not raise up the legs
and it's only made for a queen size.
So we've got a few limitations here.
But if you read a lot or if you watch TV a lot,
this is a good investment
because every night you're going to have to deal with this.
Now you can do it with pillows correctly.
But a little more difficult to do.
- It all depends,
there's other reasons for these types of beds,
we're not going to get into with breathing and such.
But I did want to mention one more thing, Bob,
but I can't remember it.
(Brad laughing)
- I wish it had like this dual sided.
So you'd push one that went really fast
and then you can just propel your partner out of bed.
She'll go peeff.
- I was there, in case you're upset with your wife.
- Yeah, that's right, just send them off.
- Hope she doesn't watch this.
- These are the designs I'm hoping for in life.
(Brad laughing) So, all right.
I know it's a quick video today, but what else?
- Oh, that's right.
These things you don't have to have
a lot of tools and stuff to put them on.
They come out and Tanner, he did it for us.
And he said it was extremely easy to put together.
So that's the kind of --
- Yeah, screw the legs on.
- Did you have to have, what did you need?
A wrench or anything?
- No.
- Just hands, wow, excellent.
- Hands of steel.
- Strong like bull, very good, nice bed frame.
- All right, I'm going to take a little nap.
There you go.
Could you turn the lights off, Tanner?
We're going to nap.
