♪ Bob and Brad, ♪
♪ the two most famous physical therapists on the internet. ♪
- Hi folks I'm Bob Schrupp, physical therapist.
- Brad Heineck, physical therapist.
- Together, we are the most famous physical therapists
on internet.
- Well in our opinion of course, Bob.
- Today we'll show you the easiest way to fix your posture
on only five minutes a day.
Quite a promise.
- Yeah. And actually this is a,
this is a fun way to do it as well.
You'll see in just a minute, why we say this.
- Plus, we're going to do a giveaway.
We'll show it at the end of the video.
You'll like this giveaway is nice.
- Yeah, it is.
- Would you agree?
- I agree.
I'm not a hundred percent sure what it is,
but I'm going to like it because there's none I don't like.
- All right, so this,
- Go ahead.
- Oh no, go ahead.
- No, no, Bob, I was,
- I insist.
- No, please. It's your turn.
- All right, so for this exercise
you're going to need a kickball.
Now, Brad, I don't know.
Where did you get this one?
- It was right over there.
(laughs)
I don't, I think must got online.
- You stole it from a kid, didn't you?
- No, I didn't.
You know, no, no.
The neighbor kids, they know better than to leave
their balls out on miles. I do too.
I used to anymore, but no, we got this online and the crane,
these are nice. It needs to be a soft one.
And it needs to be something that, you know,
works while you can put some body weight onto.
So not just a beach ball.
- I saw an Amazon link where you could get four of these
for $16.
- And they were just like this?
- Looks similar. I don't know.
- I really like these because they remind me
of the exact kind of balls I used to play
kickball with
- And dodge ball, right?
- Yeah, in elementary school.
- Yeah. Exactly.
All right, let's get going, Brad.
Okay. The first exercise you're going to do with this,
you can do this twice a day.
You're just going to lie down on the floor.
Brad's going to demonstrate,
and you're going to roll the mid back to upper back.
And what this does is really opens up the chest.
And most people are flexed in this upper region here and
they got the head forward and this is going
to reverse all that.
- Yeah, can I show them?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, so on the floor like this,
a carpeted floor works fine, sometimes better.
And I just like to lay down and start it here in the lower,
mid back, and then just roll back and forth.
Now it might take you a little bit to get used to it,
but not long.
And actually this really has a nice massaging feel to it.
And so it's relaxing.
And then if you bring your arms out like this, over head.
- Look at how he's opening that chest up.
- Oh yeah.
I can just feel it when I breathe. You just breathe in.
I bet you I can get another couple of liters of oxygen
in my lungs.
- Yeah. The nice thing about this,
it only takes a minute.
- Yeah.
- 60 seconds before you run out the door,
give everything a good stretch.
And it's going to create that muscle memory for your body
that I shouldn't be like this. I should be like this.
- Exactly Bob. Plus, you get some natural stretch,
gravity stretch here, which is always nice.
It's it's just, I guess you could say the lazy man's
person a way to stretch. And just get those arms out.
- We've got to give credit to Mike who came up with this.
He's not doing the camera today,
but he often does our camera.
Okay Brad, wake up.
- Yeah. Also you can, it's nice, cause you can go
a little bit lower out into the low back
and it's still comfortable.
- For some people.
Some people it might not be.
- Not like the roller, the six inch roller,
that's off limits.
- And it's a comfortable ball, I mean,
it's just the way it's designed.
So that's two minutes out of your day.
One minute, minute in the morning, one minute at night.
- This is like a six inch or eight inch diameter.
- I would say eight, wouldn't you?
- I think so.
- Yeah, my hand is eight feet, eight inches long.
- Eight feet long? (laughs)
- Okay. Next one is going to be throughout the day.
I'm assuming you're going to be doing some sitting.
You can't do this in the car,
but you can do this anywhere else in the seated position,
you can do it even in your recliner.
- Sure.
- So you're going to take the ball.
What's nice about the ball,
you can put it at different levels.
- Exactly.
- So you can just very quickly,
I had a schoolteacher do this.
That's all she did.
Took away her pain, improved her posture.
So you could just do the same thing, the hallelujah stretch.
Now, when you stretch up like this,
I also want you to do a chin tuck.
These are chin tucks.
So you're not bringing your head up.
You're not bringing your head down.
You're just going straight back.
Like someone's going to throw a pie in your face.
- And I would, if I had one.
- I bet you would.
So you chin tuck and open the chest at the same time.
30 seconds is all you need.
You can move the ball up and down, in and out of the spot.
And boom, once you get done,
you're going to, your body's going to remember
the right way it's supposed to be.
And that corrects your posture.
- And you'll look forward to doing it
because it does feel good.
And that school teacher I'm thinking if she had all
of her kids in class have a ball and they all could
do their posture stretch.
- You know, it's so important among kids.
- It is.
- It really is. I mean, this,
this is a good one to ask your daughter or son,
if you have one, to go ahead and do that. Leave a ball.
The other thing that's nice about the ball Brad,
is that it reminds you.
It's that reminder "oh yeah, I need to do that".
- Right.
You could probably get them in different colors
if this isn't your favorite.
- Sure. All right, let's talk about our giveaway, Brad.
- Yeah yeah yeah.
- Every week we do a giveaway and this week we're doing
the C2 massage gun. It's the Bob and Brad massage gun.
- C2. That's the model.
- Really good ratings on Amazon
if you check it out, check the link out below.
- Well, we've been,
we've been with this model for well over a year
and sold thousands of them and they're going great.
- Yep. And it's got one speed it starts off on,
but it actually has five levels of speed.
- That's right.
- It's got fairly decent travel or,
- Travel, ample to it that it reciprocates back forth.
- It's got,
- Gets in deep in, Ooh,
- it's got five different attachments.
- Yup, five different heads.
And they easily go on and off just like this.
Pop! Did you hear that pop?
That's kind of fun. So, you know, it's a nice fit in there.
This one's a little more aggressive, I'm telling you.
- You have to hold it for three seconds to start it.
It's a little buzz. Use it on your hamstring.
- This is one of my favorite hamstring, ooh.
Oh, you want to, I'm sorry.
- Oh you're good.
So it's got lots of attachments and it's great gun
