    Have had osteoporosis for 4 yrs now (4 dexa test/one per year). Hips and Neck have improved or stayed the same, but the spine gets worse every year. I'm so glad to see exercises specifically for the spine. Seeing these makes me realize that most of my exercises were for my legs. I'll be adding these to my routine. Thanks so much.

    Hi there I love your videos. I got a compression fracture snowboarding in my T12 in January and it’s still not healed but have been advised to resume some movement. Thanks for this vid. It’s great. If you have any other recommendations that would be great as recently I’ve met many other snowboarders who have had similar injuries over the years. There are never many videos online specifically for spinal injuries due to sports. Usually it’s aimed towards elderly people with osteoporosis.

    Guys, I would love to watch and do the exercises on many of your videos, but if you'd cut to the chase, I think many more folks with osteoporosis would be interested in your exercises and other good info. There is SO much info out here from a vast array of individuals, and there just isn't time to research it all for safety and listen to long instructions or too much extra chat. Maybe start a comedic medical channel and just make straightforward ones for those of us who are desperate for a program they can trust to help us keep from fracturing. Just a suggestion. I think your material could be useful but it's hard to follow it with all the extra stuff. Thanks.

    Thanks Bob and Brad. I think you guys are knowledgeable and fun. I have both osteoporosis (thoracic spine); and osteoarthritis: both hips (femur neck). Nearly everytime I do some jumping; hopping; etc. (Wolff's Law); my hips hurt. Any advice. In total I do about 24 'hops' on each leg. Star jumps I do about 15. Maybe I should reduce these a little and 'build up' allowing my hips to adjust?

    Hi Bob & Brad, been subscribed for a while and you have both helped me alot. I have spondy & chronic pain that comes with it. I am currently reading a great book called Back In Action by David Hanscom MD who is a spine surgeon. Not sure if you have heard of it. I think you would find it very interesting and would love to hear your thoughts on its methods. He has a few interviews on KZread to give you a summary. As many of your subscribers are in similar position to me I would love you to promote this book if you think if of value. I think it can be life changing and goes hand in hand the philosophy that comes across in your videos. I wish I had come across this book earlier and just hope that with your large audience you could get the word out. Thanks for helping me through the last few years especially with Brad's first hand spondy experience helped me side step surgery. In has ment alot. Tony from Australia
