What?
Okay!
- Hi folks, I'm Bob Schrupp, Physical Therapist.
- Brad Heineck, Physical Therapist.
- And we're the most famous physical therapists
on the Internet.
- In our own opinion, of course, Bob.
- Today, we're going to talk about my,
it's all about me,
my three-step approach to stop neck,
shoulder, and trap pain.
Plus, we're doing a giveaway!
- I would, I would have never guessed Bob.

Because we're doing a giveaway.
We're giving away the Thermotex Infrared Heat System.
Basically.
- Which we're going to talk more about
in just a minute or two.
- We're going to talk about in just a minute, right.
You can also see it on Facebook;
it'll be pinned to the top of the page.
Bob and Brad.
- Right.
We're on Instagram now too, as well.
- Yeah, Instagram. Stop in. - And Twitter.
So, this all started Brad,
as you know,
we're working on a book.
Sciatica.
As in how to treat sciatica.
And I kind of got away from having to work
on the computer so much,
because we have other people editing our videos now.
So suddenly I had to go input an hour or two
in a row at the computer.
And I started getting typical pain.
If you want to turn around, Brad.
So, I get a lot of in this sub-occipital area.
Right there, almost get those headaches.
And I get it up in the upper traps,
and even between the shoulder blades here.
And I mean, I really work on my posture,
and I have a stand-up desk.
So, between the two, I thought,
I wouldn't get it,
but I still get these, this pain.
I think part of it, you know,
I have bifocals,
and I end up going like this.
- I bet you there's times that if your wife walked by
she would catch you.
- I have a mirror though, even, so I can look
look over at myself. - Oh you do?
Wow.
- Yeah, don't get into any weird stuff near me.
So anyway, I'm just going to tell you.
I've tried lots of things.
I tried just doing the self-massage,
I tried using the Thera Cane.
- Oh yeah. - Which does help.
And all these things I did helped.
Yeah, you wanna show?
You can work on the knots.
Yep. And it all helped.
I was doing stretches.
But the only thing that actually worked every time,
and it worked most preventatively,
and it also worked as a treatment,
was the Thermotex.
- So, we're talking about -
- The thing that we're actually giving away today.
So this is Thermotex:
infrared heat, and the reason we like this heat system
over just the conventional
heat system - Sure.
- Is a conventional heat system,
you want to show on the,
I think this is ours.
- Yep.
- Quick presentation here.
- So it goes in, basically about skin-deep.
- The regular heat just goes in,
if you can see the representation there.
- That blue line, right on the end?
- Oh, your shirt's the same color.
(laughs)
Let's get it on me so.
- You've got a blue shirt too.
- I've got a light blue though.
So you can see the dark blue there.
Now, compare that to how deep
Thermotex infrared heat will go.
- It doesn't matter if it's in front of a blue shirt,
you can see there's a tremendous difference.
- 2.36 inches, and if you can imagine,
that starts getting into the joints of the back itself.
You know it's not just the surface.
It's going through the muscles into the joints.
- Right.
- I can just tell you,
I think it does two things.
One thing, when they first came out with this device,
we said you know it would be nice if you could strap it on.
But the two thing is,
it holds it in place while I'm working.
- Right.
- But the second thing is, these straps
actually pull my shoulders back
into good posture.
- I mean they're not so strong as cutting off circulation,
but it reminds you that.
- Oh, it pulls you back even a little bit.
If you go like this, I mean you're right.
You can go against it.
But it really does remind you to stay in place.
- Right, yep.
- This is the thing that works for me.
I like the fact that it has,
what did we decide,
an eight-foot cord?
- Yeah, eight-foot cord,
and if you need to get up to walk around,
it's easily, you can detach it.
- Yeah, you have a fair amount of length already,
but I just do this and then,
it takes like five, ten minutes to heat up.
So a lot of times I'll just leave it on
all the time,
the cost is only pennies a day to run this thing.
Brad and I use these,
I mean I always have to take it from my chair
downstairs where I'm watching TV.
- Oh right, yeah.
- Because all winter long, especially,
I have it on.
- It is, it's really nice in the winter.
Up in Minnesota.
- Yeah.
- And Wisconsin. - Yep.
Well, I mean the other things I do along with this,
that is, I mean,
I'll do some chin tucks.
Again, that's going to get that area
right in the sub-occipital area there,
that really at the base of your skull.
That's going to stretch that out a little bit.
So I'm doing chin tucks,
I might even do a little over-pressure.
And then I definitely do shoulder shrugs too.
And that helps get that pain in-between
the shoulder blades.
So, it's a great company,
we'll have a link below,
for to sign up for the giveaway,
but we'll also have a link if you want to go ahead
and purchase one right away.
If you purchase one,

A decent percentage off,
I don't remember what it is.

they'll have it up for you.
- And if you end up winning one,
they'll reimburse you,
if you had already bought one.
People are really happy with this
when they get it.
- They are, commercially great,
they'll last forever.
They're much better of a quality.
- Yeah, we've had this for years already.
I got one for my aunt who has fibromyalgia,
and she uses it all the time.
The other thing, and this is really going
off topic here, Brad,
but my wife, and other people have said,
it works really well for cramping.
If you're -
- Yeah, we did do a video on that.
- We did do a video on it.
My wife is always looking for it,
when it comes that time.
- They do have specific ones,
if you want just for your feet,
they're shaped for your feet.
Knees,
et cetera.
But this one'll last you.
- The hands, even.
- Yeah, so.
This one will actually do all the parts.
Not as quite as convenient.
- It's universal, so.
It's the platinum model, they should know that.
- Yeah, there you go.
- Thanks everybody for watching.
