The chair
The chair is a GREAT stretch!!!

Bob u cheated my boy Brad during that last stretch, keep both knees together..

😂😂😂😂 the beginning is fucking amazing thank you for that

Hi Brad and Bob, I love your channel and I hope you can help, I'm a pretty miserable runner right now :(
Ive been running trouble free for a few years but recently upped my mileage. In the last month or so I have been getting (referred?) pains in my neck, shoulder and down forearm and sometimes even into hand. Ive tried massage, massage guns and a few limited stretches. I have read that its poor form due to fatigue and likely chin leading me forwards but wonder if you could please take a moment to advise if this sounds right, and any stetches you may have to stretch/loosen the area.

I was under the hood for eight hours straight yesterday this help the little bit

im 23 and have the back of an 80 year old

Having a really bad upper mid back spasm or something today. Thought it was a heart attack it was so bad because it’s right behind my sternum. The stretch on the wall really really helped. I couldn’t believe it. Lol freaking crazy. It still hurts a little bit, but it is unbelievable how much it helped. I could barely move before I did the stretch. Now I’m going on with my day.

I am gonna do this after video my upper back hurts so bad along with a severe tension headache for three days thanks from Wisconsin chick in pain.

Bob yall are amazing

I have a newborn who I’ve been carrying so much I started to get pain in my mid-back. I like these simple and so far providing some relief for my back will try to do them often. Thanks for sharing! God bless.

I'm excited to try these exercises. I had a ping pong ball sized tumor removed from T4 in July. I recovered nicely and quickly, but my mobility is trash now. I've always played aggressive softball 3 days a week and for the life of me, can't move well enough to pick it back up.

I like these! The only part of my spine not fused is T1-T10!

That's a great one that should be done WITH a doctor doing rib and vertebrae mobilizations at the same time to double the force! My ribs are bowed up into a kyphosis along with vertabrae the same but not as bowed because those have been worked alot harder from my chiropractor but the bowed out ribs I definitely needed the one your showing but I also needed the force of someone pushing down on my ribs and vertabrae because of how rigid stuff was after 32 of them being like that putting my into a kyphosis because of the postures THAT GREW that way in my childhood and the ligaments and paraspinals became very rigid.. So I absolutely needed the extra force because doing it on my own was doing absolutely Nothing!! Please learn from my experience and on all your patients have the patient get in that position and do mobilizations on them at the same time! It's a lot more effective that way. I'm very smart in ways, one reason is because I have Autism so I think of many details no chiropractor or any Doctor thinks of.. doctors need to learn from me on multiple ways. Having suffered and getting better from my conditions despite doctors crappy knowledge never taking the time or checking things out close enough over the years makes me the best doctor out there. ONE WHO ACTUALLY SUFFERS THRU RARE THINGS but the doctors who worked on me didn't. So because I suffer all these things and had to be my own doctor that would make me better than any doctor out there if I did go to school and became any doctor.

Good chemistry amongst you two. Thanks for the relief you brought me.

Will this help with scoliosis?

That REALLY helped, guys! Thanks so much! It's been feeling like a tight band across my "wings" for a few days, and I couldn't "snap" out of it.

I have a t5-t9 fusion. 1st exercise is a life saver, thanks guys.

🍺😂

Note to self: Don't use a chair with wheels.

This is amazing, I can hear my spine cracking. Thanks so much!

I have had two surgeries. No more and did the stretches and it felt good. Thanks Bob and Brad.

Like these guys but they don't tell you how many reps & how many times a day, or Have I missed all these?

It works

these goofballs did not say how long to hold the stretch or how often

I like that 1st stretch. I can feel those light cracks after stretching the mid-upper back area.

Fav intro in the world

I'm 20. My middle back hurt for like half a year. And... And... Well... After watching this and acctually trying it... It does not hurt anymore. I- I can't even... I'm crying like a baby now

I’ve always had the WORST upper back and shoulder flexibility and since working out more it’s only got worse... desperately trying to up my stretching game so thanks for this! Was lowkey astounded as to how much flexibility Brad had in the twisting stretch! I was more like Bob and I’m 20, that’s kinda embarrassing

Good advice.

Some really helpful tips

My name is Yasir, nowadays I feel back pain in the thoracic region. And I don't feel this pain all day long, And at night I get a good night's sleep. But in the last hours of the night, I suddenly start having back pain. In which the intensity of pain is very high. The severe pain lasts for an hour. And after that, he recovers itself. I don't understand how the whole day goes by comfortably but how pain starts at night.

I’m 20 years old. The corporate life is killing me

I tried doing the first exercise but I couldn’t as my shoulders kept getting in the way it felt weird & discomfort

You guys are terribly annoying.......

I need a decompress ribs video. Greetings from aruba

I suggest that you both wear light-coloured shirts. It is very hard to see what's actually happening with your spine and shoulder blades when you wear dark shirts. A colour contrast can be very helpful visually.

is there anything to use whilst using computer chair - some sort of cushion ?

I had a baby 2 months back and she's already over 13 lbs. Lifting her up and down has my back in such pain it hurts to breath after laying still at night. Just one round of these stretches has me feeling a bit better. Thanks Bob and Brad!

Omg when Bob did the last exercise and shows us what it should look like I was like 😲 I can't even get my hand up to where Brad had it.

how long do you hold the stretches?

Thankyou!
