    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. ❤

    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.

    I am so thankful for both of you. First, you showed me how to take care of debilitating hip bursitis (I love to walk!) and the exercises worked! It's non-existent now! And now I'm l watching your videos to learn how to take care of (excruciating!) acute thoracic pain. It's working already. Thank you both for being so generous with your time and knowledge. You have restored my quality of life! Prayers and best wishes to Bob!

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.

    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.

    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 WORKS!!!!!! Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
