♪ Bob and Brad ♪
♪ The two most famous physical therapists ♪
♪ On the internet ♪
- 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.
- So this is an introduction, Brad.
We did a whole video series on everything you need to know
about using TENS for pain relief.
TENS is transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation,
which is--
- [Both] A mouthful.
- And we don't wanna off-put you
that you don't wanna see what it is.
It's actually quite a simple device
that can be used for pain control.
- All right, so TENS is what it's called
almost all the time and it's as simple as that.
- Sure.
- That's it.
- So you wanna see our series, the entire series,
just go to our website, bobandbrad.com.
You gotta spell the and out.
- Oh yeah, it's Bob and Brad.
- Yeah, and then go under the heading.
There's a program section and under that, you'll find TENS.
We got one on sciatica too and plantar fascia right now.
- More will be coming.
- Yeah and like we said, this is the introduction.
When you see the list of the TENS videos,
just pick out the ones you need to watch.
You don't need to watch all of them.
- Right because there's like, 15 of them?
- Yeah, I don't even remember how many there are.
There are quite a few.
- There's quite a few.
- Because we went over every body part, too.
So let's see, if you're having trouble
with your quad, we just did that.
For your quadriceps, we'll show you
where to place the TENS units pads.
Or let's say you're having trouble with your back.
- Right.
- We'll show you where to place the pads.
But if you don't, you don't need to watch that.
But you'll see by the titles which one are appropriate.
Now in addition to the videos,
we also have what, Brad?
- The PDF printout. - Right, right.
- Which is a major deal.
I think it's so handy.
You don't have to go back to the video
if you can't remember something.
You just use it and have your recall paper and there you go.
- So yeah, along right by the description
of the video, there will be a printout.
- Right.
- That you can just use that instead.
- No email address required, no nothing.
- This is free, free, free.
- Exactly.
- We're not asking anything of you.
We just ask you to watch the videos.
- And get pain relief.
- Yeah, we do have sometimes, to be honest, Brad,
we have sometimes affiliate links.
Like for example, we do endorse one sort of TENS units.
It's called the iReliev.
And if you buy one of these TENS units
through our link, you get a discount.
- Right.
- But we also receive a small amount of money
and this helps us keep the channel going.
Please understand, we only pick out the best products.
Brad and I have tried dozens and dozens of TENS units.
- We're happy with the iReliev.
We've narrowed it down the three of their units.
We think there's a less expensive, kind of introductory one.
Another one, kind of the all around that works well.
- All-purpose one.
- And then there's a high end one
that actually doesn't use leaves.
That one does cost a little more,
but with the wires around, it's more convenient.
So we talk about that one, too.
- Now, I have to do something very dry here, Brad.
I have to read the disclaimer.
I'm gonna read, just summarize, anyway.
So we recommend that you see a physician
before starting this series, you know?
Furthermore, this video series is not designed
to replace the treatment of a professional,
so if you're seeing a PT, physical therapist,
or a chiropractor, listen to them.
- Right.
- They know what's going on, we don't.
We haven't seen you.
- Right.
- So this is not a substitute for medical treatment.
Any information given on TENS is not a substitute
for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
Always stick to the advice of your physician
or other qualified health provider
with any questions you have.
Never disregard any professional medical advice
or delay in seeking it because of something
you've seen in our videos or read in this publication.
That's all.
- Does that cover it, Bob?
- I think that covers it. Solved.
Don't do anything wrong.
Anyway.
- We do have that video on precautions.
- Yes.
- For example, if you have a pacemaker,
you're not gonna use a TENS.
And then there's a number of other ones that we go through,
so that you can watch that video.
- Don't put them on your eyes, the pads.
You don't put the pads here on your neck.
- Right.
If you injured or have frail skin, that's an issue, too.
- So you can watch that video.
You'll find it in the series.
- Right.
- All right, that should do it, Brad.
- All right, nice work, Bob.
- Thanks for watching.
