"Some of our astute followers have noticed me slurring my words. I am not drunk but working with Brad it would be justifiable. I had 6 infected cysts removed from my mouth (noncancerous) and I have residual scar tissue and numbness. I will try to do better. Thanks Bob."

[fernandesanneth]

Thankyou so much Bob and Brad for educating us on knee pain and muscles to strengthen.

[MommeeMadre]

That massage gun was one of my best investments. Thanks to both of you! I have needed it for my hubby and myself for multiple random issues!

[gekookeg]

You mention the pain is close to the knee but i don’t feel pain on that place my pain is more at the middle of the band i have done many things nothing works hope you can help me😢

[JustBreathewithRachelGreene]

Love this one, Boys! I work on this with so many clients. I often find that an over active TFL keeps the glutes from getting stronger so we'll focus on these same sequences. It's amazing the transformation it can make in the whole butt area!

[cherylfenton]

Btw thanks for including Jordan's exercise videos ...I use them very often😊

please post the link for those different kind of bands you use on this video? I cannot find it.

[sallyvillarreal]

I’m having trouble finding a listing for bands that are in loops the right size for the exercises shown here. I just see ones for really big loops that you hold over your entire body.

[JonDeth]

I have the scar tissue from childhood due to double femoral pinning, and the doctor did it like we were still in WW2! approximately 8-9 inch scars.
*I think I'm destine to be committed to a PT routine for life to eliminate the symptoms.*

[ginas]

Can’t find those loop bands you’re using in this video. Link please?

[esperanzapichardo]

Thank for your información I when to the Dr. and he told me I have ITB very painful I’m going to do your excersies .

[tammergalal]

Does anyone know which bands they are using in this video? I can't seem to locate them and would be very helpful

Hello Brad and Bob, I love your videos. IT band tightness and that burning knee pain has been a thing for me the last couple years. I had Anterior hip replacement surgery 11 weeks ago. The burning knee pain went away during the time I was resting after surgery. But since I've increased my exercise in the last few weeks, including using a stationary bike and a "Cubii" pedaler, the knee pain is coming back. I'm doing the stretches you showed in your last video on this topic, and trying self massage. Could scar tissue from my Anterior surgery be aggravating the IT band also? Also wondering if the cycling (which I love and have done for my whole adult life) is going to be a no-go if I want to permanently end this pain. Any advice?
