♪ Bob and Brad, the two most famous ♪
♪ Physical therapists, on the internet ♪
(claps)
- Why Bob, why?
- Hi folks, I'm Bob Schrupp, physical therapist.
- Brad Heineck, physical therapist.
- Together we are the most famous
physical therapists on the internet.
- In our own opinion, of course, Bob.
- Which is an interesting slant today,
because the title of our program today is
Who Are the Most, quote,
Famous Physical Therapists on the Internet,
and How Can They Help You?
So this is directed to people that don't know who we are.
- Sure.
- We're gonna answer some commonly asked questions,
but we're also going to tell you how we can help you.
And we're also going to tell you
kinda how we got started, just real briefly.
- Okay.
- By the way if you're new to our channel,
please take a second to subscribe to us,
because we do provide interesting and informative videos
on how to stay healthy, fit, pain free,
and we upload everyday.
Also we always are giving something away.
If you go to our website bobandbrad.com
and go to the give away section,
or you go to BobandBrad on Facebook.
We always got something pinned to the top of the page.
Right now we're giving away, it's our own invention.
It's The Wall Anchor.
- Can you pan over there, Lonny?
- Yup, so those are wall mounts, and they help,
you can attach exercise bands to them.
And you can work out, it works really great.
It's a lot safer than trying to do it where
you stick it in the doorway, you know?
- Right, right, I've tried where you use an eye bolt,
and put it in there, but these are much nicer.
And this is our Booyah Stick.
- Oh ya, Booyah. (Bob laughs)
So we started our YouTube channel in 2011.
It's called Bob and Brad, and when we first started,
we only had a few subscribers.
- [Brad] Just our kids.
- [Bob] Yeah, yeah. (laughs)
I don't even think they did.
I think they didn't even want us to acknowledge them there.
- [Brad] No my daughter did, I talked to her.
- [Bob] Did she really? - [Brad] Yeah, yeah.
- [Bob] But we thought it would be funny
to state that we are the most famous
physical therapists on the internet.
- In our opinion.
- But we qualified it, right, by saying in our opinion,
we just thought it would be funny.
So it kinda stuck, and then as we grew,
we were contacted by a guy
who did the jingle for 5-hour Energy.
And he was having tennis elbow issues.
- That's that 5-hour Energy drink right?
Its probably got a lot of caffeine in it or something.
- Yeah I'm guessing, yeah.
So we did a trade out, we did a video for his tennis elbow,
and he did the jingle for us.
And it just kinda stuck, and you know,
now we're getting to the point where
we are a little bit famous.
- Yeah.
- I mean kinda crazy how it works.
- Right, you know the jingle,
some people absolutely love it.
They say their kids and they're singing it
throughout the day.
We got other people saying...
- Oh that's from the 70s or 80s
- Or they just don't like it, - Yeah, they don't like it.
- Love it or like it or hate it.
- It will get in your brain though,
if you keep listening to it.
So how can we help you?
So we always think first off that, you know,
you wanna make sure you're seeing a doctor,
or a physical therapist.
We like to serve as the adjunct quite often.
A lot of doctors and therapists are very busy,
and they don't have the time to go into the detail
sometimes to explain things that you may need.
And so we like to, you know,
we send our own patients there quite often, don't you?
- Oh to our site? - Yeah.
- Oh yeah, I personally know a doctor
in Viroqua, Wisconsin, and one in Washington state.
And they send, like if they say
you should be stretching your hamstrings,
they don't have time to show them how to do it.
They say go see Bob and Brad,
- And I've gotten lots of email saying that same thing.
You know that's one of our great pleasures in life,
is that we can try to give back to the community.
- Right, sure.
So we're going to go over some
of the commonly asked questions, we got seven of them.
So number one, where are we located?
I'm in Minnesota, you're in Wisconsin.
- That's close enough.
- That's right, we not going to get any more detail,
we don't want you to be able to find us.
(laughs)
So number two, this one we get quite often.
Do we take patients?
Obviously Brad and I are seeing patients, but we are busy,
and we really don't need any additional patients,
I hate to say that.
And we don't really like taking patients
from outside our community.
Because, one, they come only once
and we can't follow up on them very easy.
- And often times with physical therapy,
that follow up can really open up a lot of doors.
- You can make a big difference, yeah.
You may not even solve an issue
until you may have seen them two or three times.
You know we always hope we can get it on the first try,
and sometimes we do but sometimes we can't.
So sorry about that, we can refer you to our videos,
but we can't see you.
- And just volume-wise, you got over a million subscribers,
and 300,000 views every two days,
it's just overwhelming, it's just not humanly possible.
- And that's correct, Brad, thank you.
By the way, the third question is,
how tall is Bob? So that's me.
So, can I stand up, Lonny?
(laughs)
I'm six foot six, I just put it out there.
- And I'm five foot nothing.
- So I was six foot six, maybe I'm six foot five now.
- You shrinking a little bit?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
Another one, are we married?
Yes we are married. - Yep.
- I've been married to a woman for 34 years.
We have 3 children.
- That's incredible, 34 years,
you don't look old enough for that.
- I had to write it down to make sure I remembered
how many years it was. (Brad laughs)
And Brad's married too.
I don't know if you want to acknowledge that.
- 9 years, yup.
- She probably doesn't want people to know.
- Well she's getting used to this whole thing.
- Is she really?
- Hopefully she's not watching,
I'm not going to let her watch this one.
- You guys seem well matched.
But number five, I just threw this in,
where do we go to physical therapy school?
You went to La Crosse University of La Crosse.
- Yeah, hopefully they don't mind, you know, me saying it.
University of La Crosse, Wisconsin.
- And I went to,
the Male Clinic has the Male health systems,
or Male Medical Institution and all that,
it's all kind of sub heading of that.
How old are we?
As of this date, it's in 2019.
- You going to tell them?
- Yeah, why not, I'm 59 years old.
- You turned 59, when? - Yeah, in June.
- Oh wow, no, not that long ago.
You didn't even acknowledge my birthday by the way.
- Well, who cares?
- You know, it's a guy thing. - Ah, it just keeps coming.
- Big deal. - Yeah.
- Well, are you going to tell how old you are or not?
- Well yeah, the square root of--
- He doesn't even want to tell.
- No I'm 56, but I'm going to be 57.
- Yeah, when's your birthday?
- Sometime in the fall, I love the fall.
- Now I got it figured out. - It's a good time
for a birthday.
- All right, the last one is,
a lot of times people ask about these,
they see these two things.
Obviously Brad is from that Wisconsin,
so he likes those Packers,
I don't know why,
I don't know what you possible see in them.
And I of course as a Viking fan,
I like to get let down in life and be disappointed a lot.
(laughter)
- Yeah, anyways, footballs.
If I was a real hardcore Packer fan,
I'd get a real Packer ball.
But I'm not, I'm a Packer fan,
football's a good sport, wonderful sport.
But as I get older I'm just not as enthused as I used to be.
- Hold it up so they can see it all right, there you go.
All right.
- [Brad] Why Bob, why.
- Thanks everybody for watching.
