i am not exaggerating when i say that i have had sore and tight traps for the last 12 years of my life at LEAST. i thought i'd tried everything. massages. epsom salts. hot packs. stretching. you name it. i watch this video and it actually WORKS. at first i think i've done something wrong bc i think i can't feel that area of my neck and shoulder at all... and then i realize i can in fact feel it, that's just what it feels like when it's NOT HURTING. i have no shame in admitting that i happy cried. thank you bob and brad! thank you so much. ♡

I am in so much pain right now in my right trap I have been almost bed ridden for a day. It was sore all week and then I stretched this morning and it felt like someone stabbed me in the shoulder blade. Idk what to do.

People complain that y'all "talk too much?" Wow! I appreciate the fact y'all try to be as specific as possible. I don't mind the chatter at all. Y'all tend to answer Questions as they come to me. I suffer from Sciatic Nerve in my right leg, buttock, and back pain. Things were difficult to start. Y'all videos helped guide me to recovery. Especially since I wasn't able to see a doctor sooner than later because of COVID. I've been learning a lot since I started watching these videos a few months ago. Thank you for these extremely helpful videos. 🙏🏽👍🏽😁

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry… this eliminated pain I’ve had in my traps for 25 years that was relieved only by chiropractic or massage. I saw many physical therapists who did not have any useful methods beyond massage. I have been getting weekly massages for years until COVID-19 closed down massages. I kept thinking that someone must have figured out how to treat this problem, and then stumbled across this!

Just so you know, I have never thought y'all talk too much, and I've never been bored with any of your videos. If folks have told you those things, I disagree because you're giving us as much info as you can in a short time frame. This gal appreciates it!

I have absolutely excruciating, debilitating muscle knots/strains in that exact spot, making tightness and strain shoot pain up my neck into the back of my head and down my arm. It happens every few months and takes more than a week to die down each time. It just happened at 3am today, and this one is the worst yet. I got desperate and was looking up anything I could to relieve the pain (pain meds weren't working) and stumbled across this gold mine. Instant relief when I got into position, I started to cry. I feel like I've been told a gatekept secret.

Have you seen an a specialist? Sounds like neuropathy

Oh my gosh! This totally works! I'm a pretty active 68 year old...Salsa dance, yoga, bike all over my city, etc. As I've gotten older I injure myself off & on. And your videos have gotten me thru Back /Sciatica issues, knee pain, and now this. You're the best! Thx!

OMG, I could cry! The left side of my neck and shoulders down to the shoulder blades have carried 4 years of stress. My neck muscles would feel like they were sucking lemons and I would have someone pull my left arm while I leaned in the opposite direction to get it to stretch out. I’ve tried lying on the massage ball to release trigger points, steroid/lidocaine shots from my doc, muscle relaxers, self massage and massage from others. This really worked! I’m going to make it a part of my daily self care routine and teach my 18 and 22 year old how to do it. Thank you guys so much for posting this.

The left side of my neck has been hurting on and off for almost 3 years, the pain was going straight into my jaw, which for so long i thought is due to my teeth, however my dentist told me multiple times my teeth are just fine… just yesterday the pain was so unbearable, my trap was pulling me SO BAD even while walking, I decided to try this video, I WISH I HAD DONE IT SOONER, after 5 seconds in the position, I felt a HUGE HUGE release, it legit felt like a ball of something simply dissapeared… my left side has been feeling so so much better since😭❤️

I was really amazed that this simple action released and relieved the painful knots in my shoulders! Thank you so much! You two are wonderful.

*Your chatter is one of the reasons why I appreciate you guys. You're silly funny with serious solutions. Thank you!*

This video should be broadcasted everywhere on the planed on all the billboards available, instead of ads. This is literally a life changer, as someone who works in IT.

I've had a knot in my right shoulder for like a month. Yall always save me from pain!

I love the subtle humor the two of you play off each other while explaining lol thank you for the tip

Thank you soooo much!!! I fought this knot all day. Found your video literally by coincidence as life sometimes happens, followed along during your demonstration and in the 90 seconds, I kid you "knot", it melted away! You guys are cool! Forever a follower and advocate 👍

Don't understand how to do that, it's unclear the steps

I have spent thousands of dollars trying to eliminate shoulder pain. I have tried dry needling, PT, chiropractor and finally arrived at a Massage Therapist that figured out it was knots in my traps. I tried this yesterday and did it 3 times. The knot is gone and my shoulder pain is non existent today. Thank you Bob and Brad, you are amazing!

I have neck weakness due to myasthenia gravis. I started knitting during Covid and the pain on my neck to shoulder has been getting consistently worst. This is the only thing that has helped so far. I still can’t believe it. My brother told me about you gentlemen and I cannot be more grateful. Thank you for what you do.

I've had this pain for months now from dumbbell and push up exercises. I was starting to think my rotator cuff was injured until I tried this and the pain was gone almost instantly. You have no idea how good it feels to have my shoulder back. I was ready to give up on upper body fitness all together. Amazing that a simple massage exercise could be so effective. Thank you!

Woke up with a crick in my neck & right shoulder 7 weeks ago. It didn’t ease off despite hot & cold packs & trying to stretch it out. Even my physio advised stretching. So I consulted Bob & Brad. Immediately after doing this exercise it relieved my pain. 4 days later, I’m still doing it as the tension does pop up now & then but oh my, what a different it’s made. Thank you Bob & Brad.

I finally wanted to thank you for this information And video. This fix was the only thing to save my knot rhombus back pain, I was carrying this pain nearly 4 months and nothing helped no pain killers and no other treatments, and at some point the pain was unbearable. Your video was the only thing that helped me. I since then teach it to anyone who experience this pain. And it works like magic. So thank you thank you again. God bless you and only good news.

AMAZING! This is a keeper! Saved to my list.

Thank you Bob and Brad! 🙏

People are probably complaining we are talking too much again...lol. Its not you guys its the pain and irritibility and lack of sleep and we have watched so many ads and so many other worthless videos and we just want the pain to go away and some of us are at the point of crying because of the frustration of months or years of pain. Dont take it personal, once the pain is gone and the sleep returns we feel bad for being so impatient and mean. I love you guys and this video is for me because this is what is keeping me from sleeping at night. Thank you guys.

Well, my jaw dropped after realising the pain has subsided tremendously, just after less than a minute of massaging that exact area... before watching the video, I couldn't look right without some pretty crappy pain and discomfort. Many thanks! I suffer with a bit of arthritis in both of my hands, so applying pressure with my fingers and hands is also painful, hence the reason I only did it for a minute. But again, helped immensely. Cheers.

My upper back/shoulder/neck, and radiating into my arm have been excruciating pain for a week (probably related to carrying my toddler around all the time), and this has been really the best thing providing any relief. Temporary, but I can repeatedly do it and it really does instantly relieve it for a time. Thank you!!

Call me sissy but I was almost scared because I’m 24 and I’ve never gotten one of these knots before until now, and I didn’t know what it was. I’ll really glad to have found you guys, because this video made me feel a lot better and helped get rid of the knot!

I have been in agony for weeks with no help from PT here but this sorted my pain and finally I feel normal again. Thank you.

So it’s 5am and I’m lying in bed with this knot in my left shoulder, and I go on KZread to distract me from the pain. Well low and behold who do I find but by two favorite guys. It worked!!! 🤗 Thanks

I have been having pain for a long time. Thank u both for showing me something that works that I can actually do at home and I can do by myself! This is great!

Wow, this seriously works! I’ve had a tight spot in my neck literally all year that I couldn’t get to go away, and after trying this (even just sitting) it’s gone!! Thank you!

I could sit here and watch you all day . That's amazing stuff

I cant afford a treatmant programm, so I watch these videos. It has been very useful, half of my body is messed up

My husband has had pain in this part of his shoulder for over 10 years. I have been trying to massage the area for a few months with mild success. We tried this technique, and we could literally feel the muscle tension melt away within a few seconds. I massage his back from time to time (he’s a mechanic so he has a lot of muscle tightness) so I’ve gotten used to the feeling of when his muscles are tight or relaxed. It was wild to feel the muscle just, literally melt, like it was tight one second and not the next. In less than 90 seconds for him with my help to massage, he had no shoulder pain. It’s been over a week, and he is still 100% pain free! I cannot believe it, truly. He was told, and believed, he was gonna need shoulder surgery to fix the pain. Thank you so much!

Wasn't bored at all. Your banter is always entertaining :) Thanks for another great vid!

Came here months after first watching this video... to comment that this video IMPROVED MY LIFE! The part at 3:40 where he says that shortening the muscle allows circulation, blood flow, oxygen, to allow the knot to release... no one had ever told me that before! I thought that stretching out or massaging was all that could help. My mind was blown the first time I watched this video... and when I did the exercise, I felt a warm sensation in this muscles as the knots melted away! I tell people about this all the time now -- don't stretch out, shorten! Thank you Bob & Brad.

I’ve been an lmt for almost 25 years, and these guys and their presentation of this technique is so beautifully accessible and downright friendly.

Thank you, I just did what you showed on your video and I finally could move my right arm over to my other shoulder. I was told that I had frozen shoulder. Pain has been horrible for past few months, and I feel better doing this. I used to have a family member do this for me and I never had problems, but my family member didn't live forever. My chiropractor used to do it but for 10 seconds. Now with you two showing me, I can do it myself and save myself $50.00 for a 6 minute visit.

Thank you so much! I have been in pain for a year. I watch y'all's video's all the time and just found this one. This is a God send. I can't get over how much better I feel.
