This is the funniest intro of our generation. It’s like I’m taking a trip back to an 80s sitcom commercial. Thanks for the great free content. Y’all are great
You guys are life savers as I take care of my bed ridden father who has Multiple Sclerosis!!! Thank you for what you do!!
You both are doing fantastic tip filled videos that most people can use! I love your banter and enjoy your videos as soon as they come out
What I did for my grandmother was put Epsom salt paste on her leg that was swollen ...in one night it dried her leg up after months of swelling blistering etc.
Good luck expecting repositioning every 2 hours in hospital or other facilities. My loved one is in the hospital for 5 months and I have to go there every day to move his limbs, clean the feces he is seating for hours, and repositioning him. And that happens only when I’m there.
I'm watching the video while laying on a bed that also has a piece of plywood between the mattress and box spring. Got your back, Bob!
at 76 w thoracic vertabral fractures and L4 discopathy and hip fracture - Holy Moley Batman, your video is terrific!
Very helpful indeed! THANKS!
This is super helpful, I got food poisoning yesterday and was stuck in bed all day, and though I’m feeling better today, my shoulders are in agony. 😩 Now I know what I was doing wrong, and I’ll keep this video in mind next time I’m sick in bed all day.
You're not only the most famous in your own opinion, you simply ARE the most famous physical therapists on the internet. Period! :-)
Massive help, I love you guys!
I love my body pillow! I've thought about buying one of those U-shaped pillows (I think originally marketed to pregnant women), so you have one on the front that loops under the neck and then around to support the back. The wedges definitely help with knee pain for me too.

I used one of those to sleep on for about a week after I got my abdominal surgery, I was scared of sleeping on my side for some reason and it kept me from rolling over while also supporting my shoulders and knees. It also left room for my s/o to cuddle with me a little bit. My pregnant friend gave me hers because she didn’t like it lol. Those pillows are 10/10 would recommend.
Just had a friend who is bedridden from a stroke, thanks glad I found this video.
Good demonstration both of you, good work.
Thank you! This video provided me with info I needed!
I've been sleeping similar to that for 8 years. I have gastroparesis and laying flat without that Arch makes my esophagus hang open and I have to wake up and swallow my stomach acids and fight chronic nausea and pain. I have to sleep on the floor and don't even use my bed. But I would love to get them paddings on the thumbnail. I have the makeshift one with several pillows and an awning for my legs.
I need long pillow I get tired of fighting pillows all night lol
I tell my patients to change position after every 2 hours & recommend an air/water matress. Is that right?

physicaltherapyvideo In air matress air is circulated inside the matress with electric motor and the air can be adjusted by regulator to make the matress soft or firm
Great shine on the shoes!
Thank you for being patient in making videos explaining details of even the most simplest of moves! We appreciate it!!
Thank you 🙏
I have an excuse to buy a lot of pillows now
Question about the 2 hr position change for bedridden people. So for an able bodied person would it be bad to sleep all night in the same exact position?
Where can I purchase leg pillow/ blocks that are safe natural ingredients? Thank you😏

physicaltherapyvideo Thank you. I will.😊
at 3:58 you have a wedge at the upper body and at the legs. I have been experimenting with this setup for years. The challenge is that with or without the leg wedge, I slide down the upper wedge over the course of the night. With the leg wedge that still happens along with the leg wedge getting pushed down towards the bottom of the bed also. i just tried putting a yoga mat under both last night and it worked better than anything else I have tried so far. I guess my question is how the average person sleeps on an upper body wedge or even a bed that lifts your upper body, without sliding down all night?

Hello doctor bob and brad Just want to start off by saying that your videos are so informative and fun to watch really good job keep it up. I have a few questions regarding my annoying carpal tunnel syndrome 1.is it permanent? Can it be cured? 2.as a huge gamer I'm worried I would have to give it up while I'm healing it's really worrying me as it is my favorite hobby thank you in advance. (Excuse my crappy grammar)
Helpful indeed! Thanks GBU!
Any suggestions for a stroke person with left side that was affected. Left arm paralyzed and left leg severe paralysis. Hes bedridden and the left side is so heavy that wedges and pillows dont hold his side up, he lands up right on the back in 30 mins. Im worried about skin breakdown on the back side.
great ties too!
What is your take about sleeping in Zero Gravity? Is it bad?
Watch this with rick and morty lol
Quarantine made me bedridden lmao
