- Hi folks, I'm Bob Schrupp, physical therapist.
- Brad Heineck, physical therapist.
- We are the most famous physical therapists
on the internet.
- In our opinion of course Bob.
- Today we're gonna go over the top five reasons
you have shoulder, hip, or knee pain at night.
We're also gonna give you some clues
on how to stop that.
- Sure.
- But tied into this, by the way, is our giveaway
and if you are new to our channel please go to.
- We got threw off there Bob.
- You're gonna wanna go to bobandbrad.com
because we have a giveaway section,
we're always giving something away,
this way we're giving away this SleepOvation mattress.
This is only a section of it.
We'll talk about it in just a second.
You can also find it on Facebook.
Short version of this go to Instagram or Twitter, all right?
- 60 seconds right?
- Yeah 60 second version of us on that program.
Alright, we have just a little sampling
of the SleepOvation mattress.
It actually comes with a cover too obviously,
but you can see it's got a little individual mattresses
that also allow airflow in between them.
- Sure. - What's nice about this is
one of the top five reasons you're having pain at night
could be from your mattress itself.
If your mattress is too hard
or if your mattress does not allow
to relieve some of the point pressure.
By point pressure,
like when you lay right on your shoulder,
you're getting pressure right on a point.
When you lay on your hip you're getting pressure
right on a point.
Yep, and when you lay on your knees,
you can get pressure right on a point.
- Right. - So we're gonna show you
how this mattress, why we like it
and why we liked it from the start.
We're gonna bring it right to the edge here.
Look how the shoulder sinks in there
and it relieves the pressure on that area.
Now we're spreading the forces out.
We're not getting point pressure right there,
it's getting spread out over an area.
Same with the hip, it's getting spread out over an area.
Same with the knee which we can't show right here.
But I wanna show, also Brad,
this is the reason you like it at night.
Right, when you sleep on your back?
- Right, it allows the sacrum
to sink in and allows support on your lumbar spine.
Which I noticed it immediately,
the first time I laid on the mattress was how
this was a major difference compared to my old mattress
and I was very happy.
- So rather having a gap here,
it sinks in and he's getting pressure
all the way along here.
So that's why we call this a kind of pain relieving mattress
and I think it works out really well
but we're gonna show you some other things
in case you can't get a mattress,
if you don't win the mattress
or in case you don't wanna buy one.
- Sure. - We're gonna show you
some other things to do that help relieve the pain at night.
- We'd call 'em options right?
- Options, that's right.
- There you go.
- By the way. - We're gonna take Sam
out of here. - Yeah,
if you do use the link below you will get--
- He's stuck.
- You will get money off, is it was it stuck?
- Yeah.
- It will give you money off the mattress
for all the Bob and Brad fans,
so by the way here's the pillow.
We're also giving away two of those aren't we?
- Right, that's a section of the pillow.
There's the full.
- [Bob] You wanna talk about that for just a second Brad?
- Well the unique thing about these pillows
is they have springs inside
and they do have the same design
were it has separate little cushions
that help relieve pain.
But the springs allow for air flow in the middle
so it's a cooler pillow.
And the neat thing is
I thought you're gonna feel those springs
but you do not.
They're really, the way they designed it.
They're in there and you'd never know they're in there
if you didn't you cut it apart.
- Okay, so the second reason you might be having pain
is because you have poor positioning of the shoulder,
hip, or knee. - Right.
- When you're sleeping at night.
So, one, let's say this is your painful shoulder,
if you're laying on your side
and you're staying off this shoulder,
like we told you too, but the hip, the shoulder,
still internally rotated and turned in and adducted.
- So you're talking about this is the sore shoulder?
- Yep, yep, this is the sore shoulder
and this is actually how we test for sore shoulders
is we turn 'em in and internally rotate and--
- Right the Hawkin's Kennedy
or the cross over you know you're trying to provocative pain
and why would you sleep in a position that way.
- So in this instance
we're actually gonna recommend
you're gonna use a couple more pillows,
I'll just re-use these two Brad.
So you're gonna use one right here
and then you're gonna use another one right here
and you're gonna keep the arm nice and level now.
- You don't have a pillow for your head now?
- I know. - Take it from your wife.
- Use your imagination,
but yeah you're gonna have to invest in some pillows
and your gonna get it in the right position like this.
- Sometimes I like to put mine, more in there.
- More in there right.
- This really makes a difference.
- Right. - It's much more comfortable.
- Same with the hip, the hip is turning in like this
and these are coming together,
if they're hurting they're bumping up together.
- Right.
- So it's nice to have a pillow between the legs,
that levels out the hip and it takes stress off the knees.
- Right. - Now the final one,
we've shown this one many times
but to take stress off the shoulder,
let's say you just feel like you're still compelled
to sleep on the shoulder that's painful
go ahead and you take another like a throw pillow like this.
You're gonna have two pillows
generally two pillows on the side
because you wanna,
you don't want your head going like this
you want to have two pillows to fill in this gap.
- Right, right, here, here.
Now the canals form.
- Right, we should name it.
I'll bet you want the Heinick canal don't you.
- No, no Bob this is your deal.
You sleep like this on a regular basis.
- Yeah, I sleep like this every night,
I put the pillow here, I lay on this side like this,
even though I'm not having shoulder pain that's why I'm not.
- Prevention. - Prevention, right
and it's just in a nice comfortable position for it.
There's not as much stress on the shoulder
when it's in this position.
So, again, invest in pillows.
- Yeah or ya know--
- This is the time to buy.
- Get 'em from the kids bedroom or whatever,
but you need a few.
- Alright, the third reason
you might be having shoulder pain, or shoulder,
hip, or knee pain at night
is just plain old arthritis
and the problem with arthritis is
that a lot of times it actually gets worse
when it's still.
You know when, there's a little bit,
when arthritis isn't to bad yet
you're getting some movement,
you're getting your creation of a little bit of fluid.
- Right that's synovial fluid lubricates
and that help feed nutrition to the joint
and so you need more motion in a joint,
so if it's not severe, severe arthritis
you need to keep moving when appropriate.
- So that's the problem,
is that it's gonna hurt
because it's gonna get stiff
and painful throughout the night.
The only thing I can recommend
is that before you even get out of bed,
is maybe do a few exercises to help get things moving
like this one is a great on Brad,
for the hips and the back actually,
is to lay on your back like this
and just rotate back and forth.
Do a few of these, get things,
ya know, get that fluid going
before you even get out of bed.
- We actually have a couple videos dedicated
just on exercises to do
before you get out of bed,
and they only take a few minutes.
- Yeah and the idea is the same
always to get a little of the lubricating of the joints
going before you get out of bed.
Okay, number four, inflammation.
Let's say you got the joints inflamed a little bit
and generally that is that you probably overdid it
during the day or you did things wrong during the day.
- Sure. - And so the only thing
we can say is, you know,
don't overdo it
or also make sure you know like
if you're getting an impingement at the shoulder
that's a whole different animal
that's a whole different video.
But you'd have to watch some of our videos
to know what to do so that you don't flare it up.
- Right, so I've got a patient right now
he's got a partial tear,
we're trying to get through without surgery
and it was so inflamed at one point that--
- You couldn't even do anything.
- Right, he had to sleep on his back.
- Yep. - 'Cause when he did
roll on it, it'd wake him up right away.
- And sometimes, you know, it can be as simple as
maybe using some ice before going to bed
to try and calm it down too.
Some people use ibuprofen,
you know if recommended by the doctors.
- Right. - So, number five,
is one that we really can't help you with
but you have to keep this in mind
that's why sometimes you need to see your physician,
is if you're having an infection somewhere.
- Right.
- You're definitely gonna feel you know,
infection's one of those things
that often show up at night
because you know you're not doing anything else
and that's your focus right on that pain.
- Right, right.
- And it's not pain it's not gonna get better any time soon.
- If you have a joint that hurts
no matter which way you move it
and it's warm and there's some redness,
those are three good indications
that you need to get to the doctor
and see if there's something else
besides just a strained muscle or joint.
- Yeah very good point Brad
because that's not something you wanna mess around with.
- Right. - Those nasty little
infections that have now
that are, seem to be even impervious to drugs
some of them now. - Right.
- They're getting super infections now so.
Super bugs I guess they call 'em right?
- Go on Bob,
I'm not gonna touch that.
- Remember Brad and I are just not handy, we're helpful.
- This is a premier ending of a video.
- Right, we can fix just about anything.
- Except for.
- A broken heart.
- There you go.
- But we're working on it.
Thanks for watching.
