Woah I was literally thinking this lol
when you are 17-18 but you feel like a 70 year old man with all the issues my body has
Bruh just described my whole life in a sentence,
Same. I constantly have a headache from all the back and neck pain. Im only 19
It's only gonna get worse. Take care of yourself now
Y’all get like shit and play games 24/7
Yup, same
i have a lot of lower back pain and i find just using a regular pants belt tightened up a notch helps support my back, i can definitely feel the difference.
I don't have very little back pain, but I have chronic pain. It's neuropathic shooting pains in my arms and legs. I've recently found a back brace helps me with driving as the constant focus along with long periods of sitting can place a huge strain on my body.
Love Bob and Brad! Always good advice!
My back brace worked really well for a broken heart, it helped me walk away!
Lol, that’s awesome! 🎉😊
You guys are awesome! Keep doing what you're doing!
My back pain comes from my temporary job at work which requires me to be on my feet for many hours on my shift. I just purchased a back brace and it was instant relief. On my days off my back pain fades away over the two days and returns when I got back to work. I will be so glad when I go back to my regular job in 2 1/2 months.
I sit for 6 and sometimes 12 hours shifts on a motorcycle and that makes my back hurt, exercising my lower back helps a lot but I still considered buying the back braces for those long days at work where it's detrimental for me to keep my job.
I have job where I'm standing literally 11 hrs. Not moving around a whole lot either. I've gained weight in the last eight months and I've noticed a lot of lower back pain. I'm hoping getting a brace will instantly help me like it did you. What's the name of the back brace you bought?
Great just the comment I needed to read, i'm in the same boat, so know I will try a back brace. Thank you.

Hi I have discogenic disease in my L5 and L4 disc I'm thinking of get a back brace I would just wear when I'm doing physical activities
😂😂😂
@@staceyparker5482 By all means Stacey get one. Just do research posted by physical therapist on which brands are more trustworthy.
Bert and Ernie my favorite physical therapist!!!
Something I've always wanted to see: Brad in a corset 👍
You can check that off your bucket list ;)
I tell people my back pain is related to sitting all of the time and they don't understand what I'm saying so thank you For reinforcing that. People's entire concept of back pain is lifting and that's false
You two inspire me to go back to school sometimes. Also appreciate that I don’t have to go through all the trouble to go the doctor to learn to heal from y’all. Thank you 🙏🏾 for what you do.
Happy to help 😄
That last one where people lift things wrong with a loose strap that tightens to remind them seems like an excellent idea. Great video as I've contemplated whether those pull-your-shoulders-back strap things are worth wearing while at my desk job.
Love it. Thanks guys!
The only thing that has helped my back pain is a back brace. I’ll be damned if this guy tells me not to. Most people complain about their back and use marijuana (which is fine) but Popping pills and relying on substances to take the pain away is far worse
I am a mover and the days I wear my brace minimum back issues, without my brace pain shoots to my lower back
Im looking looking in to whats best can you recommend a brace ? I have lover back pain from lifting and outdoors manual labour etc. Thanks
@@jackmartin9008 the regular ones they sale at Walmart and Home Depot are goo
@@jackmartin9008 good
i'm in the UK, but thank you.
What about spinal steniosis or bulging discs? Is it ok to wear one?
Love these guys!!
These two guys are the most useful thing on the whole internet 🎩

Love your TSHIRT
Thank you for your hard work
Perfect! Thanks!
Love the into guys!
Doing dumb stuff in my 20s n 30s caught up to me in my 40s. No more soft beds lol. These guys rock!!!
Just buck up on your video when I was looking for how to wear a back brace,thank you guys for this video
Thank you for your video
😂😂 Who the hell wrote that intro? Charlie Sheen? Ahaha
Winning!
I believe it was James Horner.
I know...it's the absolute worst. I write jingles for commercials on the side and this one is truly crindgeworthy.
would love a video about supporting back when you go to your kid's sport events where you are either having sit in bleachers or portable chairs for 3-6 hours at a time. (i.e., what are the best portable chairs to buy or best portable bleacher supports to buy). Thanks.
You two are solving all my problems and I've only been watching for a month. This is brilliant. I have a back brace I never wear but I've been thinking of doing so again as I'm trying to become more active. I have degenerative disk disease L5 to S1. I have been doing brisk walking 20 minutes a day and my lower back has started to hurt. Will a brace help or is something else going on?
Try swimming, and stretching and religiously go for a walk every day. Push yourself hard so you are improving the time it takes to do a set course. Also take note of your breathing as you are trying to increase speed. As time goes by, you will increase in speed and your cardiovascular fitness gets better. Keep a daily log of your time and weight.
Then 3 weeks down the track, look over your log, and think about why you began in the first place? To help your back out right?
You will then say where is the back pain? It will be gone, and you didn't even notice it leaving you!
There’s no such thing as degenerative disc desease, read “Back mechanics” by Dr McGill is really helping me out
7:30 omg brad why?! Family show! 😂😜😁
As a condition of employment we were made to wear the cinch type brace. I had worked in Nursing Homes for over 15 years with not one incident of back trouble. After being forced to wear the brace at a new facility, my back lost most of the strength I had. Have had back trouble ever since.
Wear it lose so u don't get the support and ur back won't get dependent. Hope u can get ur strength back 🙏
Thank you Bob Brad You the Best 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
You are welcome Jackie! Thanks for the nice comment :)
A lot of persons don't know that sitting for long can cause back pain but thanks for putting it out there
Yo... I fuckin love these guys! I checked out their vids about a year ago when I was trying to figure out practices to help my increadably life altering back pain, but I haven't seen em in a hot minute.. They have perfect chemistry w/ eachother and personalities that are unique and freakin MADE for TV!
Such a lovely video. Greetings from Algeria :-)
Useful!
Best intro 😂😂😂
Have you guys done an episode on pushing a stroller or wheelchair?
I push 8 wheelchairs around every day at school. I have sore wrists, and back if I do something wrong. I'd love to know how to push these properly. Because I have all different height chairs, varied weights, from a 20kg person to an 80kg person. I'd love to know how to best push without hurting myself please.
They are awesome and their theme song is stuck in my head 🗣️
I'm watching this as I lay on ice. I have a love hate thing with the back brace so this will be interesting to watch
Pet unia if you wear a brace, you will be more likely to injure yourself more seriously.
If you have disc related pain, lie on your tummy and place the ice in the inflamed area. Most people prefer to be on their stomachs.
My left hand side of my lower back has a lot less muscle than my right. I’ve been recommended to do loads of swimming, so will this help to or not?
Love you guys sense of humour 😂😂
Now I know I shouldn't wear it like a head band like lebron 😭😭 thank you for info great job
Man I loved the intro😂
Bob and Brad are physical therapists known for their online presence.
They discuss the topic of wearing back braces for back pain.
They provide five rules to follow when considering the use of a back brace.
Back braces are not necessary for everyday muscle strain.
They advise against using back braces preventatively.
Back braces should only be used for specific stressful tasks.
Long-term use of back braces should be avoided, and individuals should aim to wean off them.
Back braces may be helpful for certain conditions such as spondylolisthesis, osteoarthritis, degenerative disc disease, or compression fractures.
They demonstrate different types of back braces and explain their features.
Bob and Brad inject humor and engage in banter throughout the video.
i have had cauda equina what exercises can I do safely to keep my muscles stong?
Omg I got to admit, I know I only 33 but yess I suffer from significant back pain. I won't explain it all but I tell you what this video made a HUGE difference in how I view the pain I have. Using the brace I have also helps so much an watching this has helped me understand more. P.s my sitting posture is 80 odd percent or more. Reason why I have bad back pain etc as well as some genetic issues unfortunately. Thanks for the tips fellas.!!!
Thanks for sharing such a great video with us and for your great comment.
Health is the greatest wealth, wish you good health.
VTAPE has newly designed a lumbar decompression belt, welcome to my homepage to learn more.
You'll learn how it can help relieve back pain and help with all back problems.
End made me laugh! Brad is a family show!!
Hi Guys, what brand do you recommend? The first one that gets tighter seems like a good choice for me.
Well said
Can you guys do a video on Brad's workout? I - and I'm sure lots of other people - would like to know what kind of a workout is ok for someone with Spondylolysis or Soindylolisthesis. Many of us think we can't do anything more than cycling/swimming/walking and it's very restrictive! I can feel myself getting flabby!
Thanks for sharing such a great video with us and for your wonderful comments👍

I really think that people can wear this for the short-term for normal day-to-day, but long-term ppl should make their core strong and get a GREAT chair.
THANK YOU
I have misaligned one or both of my pelvic bones in one direction or another. Which would you recommend, a chiropractor or an orthopedic doctor to determine the exact problem and get it fixed? Thanks!
I work in a factory lifting, twisting etc. for 10-12 hours a day. If I didnt wear a back brace I would NEVER be able to do this job for as long as I have to at work. Only at work do I wear it and not at any other time. Any comments from you guys would be highly appreciated.
Same issue what should we do
I'm trying to keep a more active lifestyle to keep my weight down but I have a herniated disc in my L4/L5. I ride my bike a lot but sometimes I do get spurts of pain if I don't keep my core locked. Is it okay for me to use a back brace just during that period of time? It really helps when I'm sitting at my computer desk to keep me from rolling my back forward.
I have the same.
I was using a brace for awhile years back, but stopped. Felt like lack of blood flow.
Have a good diet, keep away from cigs and alcohol, no heavy lifting, water therapy(swimmin pool), yoga. I made a rail that measures up to my lumbar and I usually stretch backwards on it. Also electric therapy works well to relieve muscle strains/tension.
But yea for me the brace is limited to what youre doing, others might work 24/7. Wish you well.
Love the video thanks guys! Bob reminds me of the singer from the Cars lol
I have a back brace due to arthritis in the lower back and weart a back brace with a metal bar in it. I wear it in the day time . My spinal doctor recommended this
I just slipped my s1 and l5 disc and I'll be back to work in 9 days in total I will have had 12-13 days to recover. Would a good back brace be smart for my first month back ? I'm a pool service tech 5 days a week I take care of about 100 pool. The stuff I'm worried about is loading my truck in the morning with cases of my chemicals which usually are 4 gallons per case along with other chemicals that range between 10-30 pounds, then I also have to bend over at every pool to test the chemicals, and then I have to use a net to clean the pool. With those activities and the injury I have will it be a smart decision to wear a brace for a few weeks ?
How about wearing a back brace (like the one with suspenders) when working at a desks. I find that when I’m at my desk doing work/ at my laptop I find myself starting to hunch over, I try to sit straight but sometimes forget when I’m really getting into my work. Would wearing one in short bursts be better?
I was hoping you would include posture correcting brace for prolonged sitting.
Just slightly arch your back, sit up straight, have legs out at 90°. Relax shoulders.
Hello Bob and Brad. I get lower back pain now and again. Do you reccommend wearing belt for lifting weights like bench press and sumo squats? thanks

Hello from the philippine physical therapist
who else smashed the like button for the intro alone ?
🙋🏽♀️ 😂
It’s the intro for me 🤣💋❤️💃🏽
I’m 31 been doing hard labor since 14 my back and knees are feeling it
What about the posture correctors Bob and Brad, I have Ankylosing Spondylitis and I thought it might help??? Thanks Dudes
Bob and brad please respond so I don’t have medical ins and I work as a dental hygienist I’m basically sitting and slouching all day . I try to stop myself but after doing it for so long it’s hard to break myself . I was thinking of getting a back brace that goes up my spine and wraps around to to my stomach . I read it distributes the pressure from your spine to the abdomen area.
I really appreciate your videos I have other issues too and you guys help me a lot considering I have to turn to the Internet for medical advice. Thank you in advance
I'm watching this video on my bed at 4 :57 Am with my lower back pain. I can't sleep with my pain. Its worse today
I have sacrilization and use one. I have had back pain for years that went away after a day or two until last time. I missed multiple weeks of work and my doctor sent me for an X-ray.
Im honestly thinking of getting one. My back has been hurting for a year now
Which one of the back brace should I wear for everyday back problem.
Would you recommend a back brace for pre loading packages that strain my back
Thanks Bod And Brad
Could I wear a back brace
Even if I have a lower back compression due to fracture in my vertebrae I was 5'10" and now I am 5'5" Due to my osteoporosis.
I'd give it a shot! Extra suppose is really good for a compression fracture. Helps mine!
I deliver for a supermarket and move over a tone a day. I feel pain after a stressful day of heavy lifting. What would you recommend
I wish they would have gone into back strain a little bit more. Wouldn't it help a back strain by keeping your back immobile while you're doing different tasks and prevent it from getting aggravated and promote healing?
I have several back issues, and sitting for any length of time is painful. I try not to sit too long, but in planes or cars, where I don't have much of a choice, I started using a brace like the first one Brad is wearing and it allows me to go much longer without pain.
I came here to ask exactly that. I have a bulging disc and right now I can not sit down for too long. I have a trip in a few weeks and will be taking a plane and lots of buses that will require me to be sitting down for 2-3 hours. Do you recommend getting a brace? I'm seeing my orthopaedic doctor tomorrow and I'll ask her about that. I guess a brace is better than carrying a pillow around.
@@Sylphadora is recommend a brace despite Bob and brads opinion. In the short term it will defo help
@@Sylphadora ,Hi
@@Sylphadora I have same issue. I can't sit down long time. I'm working in a office. Does brace will reduce your pain????
👍
I used these as a preventive measure 8 hours a day for a week and now I have lower back pain.
is that spine sport back brace from bracebility appropriate for spondy L5/S1? with spinal stenosis? thank you
The most important video for healthcare workers
These guys are the BEEZ KNEES!!!
My shoulders go forward a lot maybe from doing to much bench press can I wear one when doing exercise and running?
I don't know, I'm 35 and fit. I just started working Amazon delivery, so lifting medium to sometimes heavy boxes. I know how to deadlift and use my legs, but my back is sore after a couple of days work. Point is, I know it's not the sitting that's causing soreness. I'm gonna try the brace. I also realize I might just have to condition my body to the type of work I'm doing, which is different than resistance training.
I was told to wear mine for 2 hours if the pain still persist take off for hour and put it back on for another 2 hours
The older I get, the more I find these are good during the horrible days right after pulling my back. I never wore one until about one month prior to my 42nd birthday. I hurt my back, helping a friend move. The next day, I could barely walk to the toilet to pee. I put a brace on, and after about two days, I felt noticeably better. OTC pain meds did nothing. I have an inversion table that usually helps but that was not helping this time. I know wearing it for a couple of days may have weakened my core but at least I could do basic functions around the home.
I don't own single bands but can a total gym do the same and what exercises should I look for exactly for lower back and hip pain.
Bob & Brad
In my experience in rehabbing a cervical sci, I found the less I relied on "crutches", the better. Address the root problem and don't let yourself rely on external helpers. Make yourself rise to the task.
When it comes to the spine it's not wise, IMO, to take chances.
I wonder if their patients are on the phone like "hi, yes, i want to make an appointment with *singing* Bob and Brad, the most famous, physical therapists, on the internet". 🤔
I'm starting in construction. What do you all recommend for prevention or long term?
Should I avoid the cheap ones from Walgreens and other stores. I want one to help for when I’m working, not permanently just temp while I get back to work and continue yoga and work outs
I have had a fall and fractured L2 and oesteopytes any recommendation?
I have a bulging disk L3. Should I use my brace when I go for a walk?
Damn, brad has gainz
Strong like bull!
I have three fractures in my back. my back brace is very big and bulky and it is very uncomfortable, should I wear it all the time?
Can I wear it for 2-4 hours for my package handler job?
Where do you purchase these braces and what are their names? Thanks
If I understand you correctly, it’s okay to use a posture correcting brace if you have an ailment such as transverse myelitis, which is what I have, is that right?
I have a mild degenerative disk disease thoracic spine , some curvature of the thoracic spine convex toward the right . I've been trying to do some research to help my posture and straighten my spine . Some say a waist trainer will help with both . Just trying to find something that will support me doing yoga or walking . Pls and ty
