I’m 24 and I’ve had these terrible muscle knots in my shoulders since literally high school, because I was a cellist and that really fucks your back up quickly. I’d been desperately trying to massage under my shoulder blades for years, and a few of these loosened me up more than I can ever remember being. Thank you guys so much, you’re truly lifesavers. ❤

3:22 omg I cannot believe how well this stretch worked... I've had this painful knot in the left side of my traps since yesterday (it hurt if I so much as sneezed or yawned), but now it's mostly gone! Thank you!!!

This absolutely changed the game for me. I've had something going on under my shoulder blade for so long I've kinda just gotten used to it. These exercises are producing immediate relief for me and I am so very thankful for this video. Subscribed.

Hey guys. Ive had pain in this area for years and years and ive just done tension band stretches with minimal relief. I was terrified to pay co-pay after co-pay at a PT office every week. This video has helped relieve so much pain from proper office chair stretching techniques I can do at my desk at work. Seriously, thank you, you've made my life so much more bearable. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Thank you for your evidence based and light hearted easy to understand instructions. I am a retired RN with lots of arthritis problems, and chronic pain. Even though my BMI is low, over 40 years of work and lifting plus genetics have taken their toll. But I like to remain active and do not believe being a couch potato and taking strong pain meds is the answer. Your program has been a great deal, especially during the pandemic, when I don't want to make unnecessary doctor visits if I can help it. Thank you for all you do.

You guys just saved my back! After months of working from home due to Covid and not moving very much my upper back is in sorry shape. But after just doing a few of these it feels so much better! Thanks!

Hi Bob & Brad! I suffered from Trapezitis due to continuous online work in middle of pandemic but your videos almost helped me get 70% releif. Can you make a video exclusively for trapezitis?

[marianl]

Even though this is an old one...i love ALL you new and old... You two are really wonderful. Showing us the best ways to undo stress and physical limitations/issues, making it very easy and even fun to do; and usually where get immediate relief. The two of you are so complimentary too to each other, making it all the more interesting and enjoyable with your different comments on the side...lol. Thank you so much for the time and thought that you put into these and the enormous amount of information and demonstration you provide, even in one session let alone the number of sessions you have already done and continue to do.

Oh my!! It works! I had tubal reversal in July and I have been sleeping on my back for a month now and I work in a warehouse (yes go figure). For the past 2 weeks I had a muscle/tension headaches never in my whole life have I felt this. This will be 1 month of living a sedetary lifestyle no running, cardio exercises and no full body strectches probably contributed to this tension. This morning I came across this video and tried the 1st 4 exercises and it Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
