Hamstring Stretches Are Useless, Unless You Do This First!

Bob I am sorry to hear about your diagnosis of ataxia. You’re an amazing PT and you’ve taught me much through your videos. I am applying to PT school now! Any case, best of luck to you with dealing with it and we’re here to support you if needed.

I was diagnosed with Ataxia in 2016. I know exactly what you're going through. Somethings are more difficult but you've got a great background and great support team. We can do this!

Friends don’t give up on each , growing older and facing their own health issues . God bless to both , your hearts have always been in the right place . Very helpful and informative instructional videos geared for the common people . These guys are AWESOME !

This saved my life. That is not an exaggeration. I’ve been stretching my hamstring for over a year with a zero success. I developed a bursa pain. I did the glutes strengthening exercises and had immediate success. No pain whatsoever in my bursa or knee tightness of the knee. I walked 18 holes yesterday and the golf course and did not know my hip or knee was there. Thank you very much Bob Schrupp. I’m 75 years old and was moving like an old man. Not anymore!

I am glad to see Bob is still continuing to do these. It is proof that we can all do these. I hurt my back... was practically bed ridden. Started doing yoga from tv and found you. You helped. I got muscle relaxers got to a local physical therapist. I walked in with a cane walked out on my own. I was using a wheelchair in the house.

Making physical therapy accessible to all and giving agency back to people of all ages with injuries, thanks Bob and Brad :))

You guys are legends, some of your videos have really helped me in life. Thanks

Youtube has been created for guys like you to help people worldwide; Thank you

This is so helpful, as always. Thank you both, and best wishes to Bob. You might not fix broken hearts, but you help a lot of people feel better. 💖

You're both legends for the no bullshit help you provide, Ataxia or not <3

You both have helped me over the years improve my health and lessen chronic pain. I will be thinking of you Bob on your journey with Ataxia.

Just tried the standing single leg exercise. I’m surprised to note that I had trouble contracting that glute muscle. I have hip and knee problems on that side. I hope strengthening the glutes will help with these other issues. Thanks so much, guys!

Thank you guys. Doesn't seem enough, but thank you from the bottom of my whole heart. I've had sciatica nerve shooting after being a carpet cleaner for 8 years, working 10-12 hour days. It stopped pinching the nerve after doing some relaxed standing and walking, months to a year later. I've never been able to balance both legs and hip since. My right side rides lower and starts to cramp. Thought it was my butt cheek. I've tried so many things over 3-4 years (except go to a doctor) and nothing has worked, except minor things like putting my feet and knees together and bending knees with arms out, putting feet up and sinking hips while pulling head back in a chair. I've watched 3-4 of your videos that gave me real hope. This hamstring one is the golden ticket, I feel. My hamstring is tight and leveraging my hip down and at an odd angle. Despite all of my own delusional self diagnosis, when I actually get mindful enough to fire my glutes a HUGE amount of pressure is reduced. I may be able to turn left soon... it was fun to say I have, "Zoolanders disease " though.

I really appreciate your channel I'm a PT myself and have learned so much from you over the years. In turn you have helped countless of my patients as well.

Good wishes to Bob. We therapists can handle more with the knowledge we have. You and Brad have given so much to the community. The positive vibes coming back to you!

Hi Bob & Brad, Thanks for all the excellent videos over the years. In 2021 my hamstring was tore near in half and your videos were extremely helpful in my own road to recovery - thank you! @Bob, hang in there and keep fighting the good fight! I think you guys are such a great team.

Bob you are the man! In spite of your ataxia you keep putting out videos. You have no idea how much you inspire me. Brad you are an awesome friend and colleague! I love your that continue to support Bob and work to keep these videos going. You guys keep making content and I will continue to support. God Bless!

Bob you have been an inspiration to literally thousands of people. Hopefully the support and prayers you will undoubtedly receive from all of us will be an inspiration to you. ❤️

All the best to dear Bob! 1 of the most famous physical therapists on the internet!💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️

Bob, I am so glad to see you still helping us! I have MS, and have been using your videos to help maintain the best lifestyle I can. You are truly a great physical therapist, and I'm glad you're continuing to help us be our best selves!!!!
