- 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.
- Today we're gonna talk about cold weather muscle
and joint pain stiffness.
We're gonna show you how to get relief from
a far infrared heating therapy at home.
This is timely Brad.
Unfortunately the cold weather still is a common.
- Right, we just had an unusually warm week,
but it's common.
And as therapists, we hear the complaints of
joint and muscle pain and stiffness
associated with this cold weather and damp weather.
- So we're gonna show you a way to get out of it.
- Right, we're gonna talk about some science here
to know that you're gonna go about it
in the best manner possible.

if you want a 60 seconds version of our program.
- And some people that's all, they can take a 60 seconds.
- That's right.
- That's why we do it for them.
- Wives included.
- All right, so if you have this joint pain
and you know that you feel better,
particularly if you take a shower or take a bath.
And you've heard about far infrared hot packs,
but you realize they cost a little bit more.
Is it worth the money?
And we're gonna tell you what the difference is,
what the facts are.
And we're gonna go on with
a little more information after that.
But, I actually... - Wrote up a chart.
- I did my homework and I wanna thought
this'll be the easiest way, and the fastest way
because people talk about sometimes our videos carry on
because we babble.
- Sure. That's real okay.
- Okay. We're good.
So here, we've got a simple chart that highlights it.
We've got far infrared and then standard,
and these are referring to hot packs.
- You wanna point with this.
- No, no, no by6 my fingers. - Fine that's it.
- First of all, what's the difference?
What is the science difference?
And far infrared is radiant heat.
Now radiant heat from the sun - Sure.
- Radiates right through the atmosphere,
and the big difference as far as on a day to day person.
Standard hot packs, the electric one, are conduction.
Right, so that means with that hot pack,
you have to have it contacting your skin.
And then you get the transfer of heat
from the pad to your skin.
Now the far infrared you do not have to have it,
contacting your skin.
The radiant heat goes through the air
and that's a big bonus.
Plus the radiant heat,
will not only go to the surface of the skin.
It will penetrate deeper through the skin,
into the muscle, into the joints.
- That's the second point
he's making - There you go.
- And that's the biggest advantage by far.
- Far infrared and that is it.
They've done studies on this,
deep heat with the infrared 2.36 inches,
maybe we should show them. - Show them.
- We've got a visual here.
We've got a fancy, this is a scientific yardstick of course.
But anyways, here's 2.36,
which is about two and three yards just to the lesson.
- And here's the regular conduction to heat
with just a surface.
- Basically it's superficial. It goes skin deep.
It feels good, but it's not going to penetrate.
- It's not gonna get into the joint.
- Exactly.
So again, that's the biggest difference.
That's why someone may pay more for it.
We'll talk more about that in just a minute.
There is something called EMF, electric magnetic field.
And it's true that the EMF is higher
on a standard hot pack versus infrared.
But either way,
it's not gonna be... - Its not a problem.
- It's not a health concern,
but in the marketing literature you'll see that,
and they'll say it is higher there.
It's true, but it's not a big deal.
And I do want to inform you of that too.
Because I've read literature saying,
the EMF is higher in standard.
- People panic - It's not gonna give you...
- A high enough to keep tossing.
- The wattage of so low.
The cost to operation that's a factor.
It's about one third of the cost to operate
an infrared hot pack versus a standard now.
- Basically they were telling us like,
you could run this for pennies a day.
If you ran it all day long.
- I used to work in the electrical field and I thought,
I wanna find out.
So I did the calculations and I went and I looked,
it's true, it's flat cheaper, say about a third.
But it depends on the standard hot packs.
There's usually three different levels of heat.
Under infrared It's only one - Its just one.
- And you only need one and you're gonna
get a much deeper heat.
So it's superior in that manner as well. As far as costs.
Now the big drawback is far infrared costs more,
but you get, it's a completely.
It's not really comparing apples to apples.
And here let's talk about the medical influence.
- We gonna say something about that cost later too.
- Yes we are. - Gonna bring it down for you.
- Exactly. So there's three big benefits.
Medically speaking that we're concerned is,
it increases anytime you heat up tissue circulation.
- It increases circulation to the area which often increases
number two, better healing. - Better healing.
You always want to have good circulation.
And it's along with making the tissues heal faster.
There's typically less pain when have better circulation.
So increased circulation, better healing,
better pay, that's all good.
- The third one was a surprise to me Brad.
- The relief of the pain lasts longer,
with the far infrared. - Sure.
- Four to six hours of pain relief.
After you take the hot pack off versus the conventional
conduction heat after you take it off.
- It doesn't last forever. - Right.
Within minutes around 15, 20 minutes.
So that's a big deal as well.
- I remember the actually,
the Thermotex company talking about this earlier on.
And that's why they were recommended like twice a day.
- Right.
- And you get that relief for the morning or whatever.
- And when we got these in the, when Thermotex,
talked to us about doing these I said, they cost too much.
We're not gonna promote something that costs,
our viewers a lot of money, but then we used them,
and we looked and seen how they're
constructed and how they're built.
They're gonna last long time, they work better.
It's not like it's gonna wear out.
And we've used ours for,
we talked about three to four years.
- Yeah, three to four years in our individual chairs.
I haven't just set up there.
It's actually strapped around a pillow.
I put the pillow behind me and I use it every night.
It's just become my treat, especially when it gets cold.
And I suppose, they're wondering why I got this on.
- Yeah, you look like you're gonna go perish.
- So it does come with straps.
If you order from the link below,
and the straps are nice because,
I've used to get a lot of pain here.
- Working at the computer. - Working at the computer.
And once that pain would show up,
nothing would take it away,
except the Thermotex.
And I wanna keep working.
So we strap it on and you can actually work.
It comes with a six foot cord.
- It just pulls out here in case you wanna walk down.
- And then when I walk around and go
to unplug it and then I come back in again.
- In case wanna a beer or something.
Just kidding, just kidding.
- But it really,
again it was the one thing that would take my pain away.
- And then these straps offer,
a reminder - Right.
- To get your posture back because chance even though,
Bob, you're the expert and as well as I.
We do lose our passion. - We're all struggling.
- We continue, so these are a good reminder.
Now outside of that, this is a platinum model.
This is the one we recommend because it's so versatile.
It works for the back.
If you want to use it well here.
This is what I like for my hands.
You can wrap it around your hands and,
- Kind of create a muff.
- Right, well Bob is got my last six trap over there,
but you can wrap it around
and it just warms up your whole, both hands.
- The point I wanna make here is because, you know,
it goes 2.3, six inches. - Inches.
- It actually doubles that
because it's coming from one side,
and coming from the other side.
So this all far, it goes through.
It'll go all the way through the hand.
- Right. Through both hands.
So you're warming up all those joints,
all that tissue that you want and also,
it works if you want to put it on your hip, like here,
I really like this.
Particularly if you want to use it on your thigh.
- Yeah, or on your hamstring. - Hamstring,
quadriceps, calf,
you can get it around your ankle.
And Thermotex does make individual.
- Oh yeah, it makes ones
that you can actually use on your wrist.
- Specifically for your wrist.
- For your feet. - Yeah.
- The big shoe.
- But if you buy just that,
then that's pretty much all it's good for.
This works for pretty much all parts of the body.
- So it is pricey, and so we talked to Thermotex
one time a year they put on a really big sale.
- You're gonna get a big discount.
- And this is now,
but you gonna use the code that we have below.
It's a special code.
- It's associated with black Friday.Is that correct?
- Associated black Friday.
This is gonna st6art today, this video comes out,
on the 23rd. - 23rd, yes.
- And it will go for one week till the 30th.
So you gotta get in during that period of time,
November 30th, 2020, in case you're watching this video,
- This video could be up for 30 years
and who knows what happened then?
- Right, So this is it.
If you're gonna get one, that's the time to invest one.
- Yeah, get one for grandma or grandpa,
or even yourself. - I got one for my aunt.
And I got one from my mom. - Is she rich?
I thought maybe you were trying to get it,
- No, no, no. Was just trying to be nice to family.
- I know Bob, has got a rib you a little bit.
- Remember Brad, I can fix this spot,
- Except for?
- A broken heart.
- But we're working on it.
- We're a good relationship people.
- And this Thermotex is not gonna help that but,
- Don't put it on help. - Put on help.
Get you're with the relatives and stuff.
- They like more - By those affections.
All right. Thanks.
