Bob & Brad

These goofy guys. They sure have made physical therapy tidbits accessible for many people. I remember hearing their intro jingle years ago and it just made me laugh. Their insights are sometimes lengthy but delivered in classic midwest-nice neighborly style.

A few years ago, it was sad news to hear that Bob was diagnosed with Cerebral Ataxia (Cerebellar Ataxia) that affects muscular control, walking and balance, hand coordination, speech, swallowing and eye movements. I’m sure it was a really frustrating condition considering his life’s work was helping people with musculoskeletal issues. 

Of course I don’t know these two, but I appreciate their friendly approach to educate their followers. They have made an impressive business from their YouTube channel that started on a whim, with Bob suggesting to Brad that they give it a try, as mentioned in the memorial video. They have many products available via Amazon. I have one of their branded neck massagers that works as good as any and I enjoyed using through a tough recovery with a shoulder issue. 

Goodbye Bob. Thank you for your vision and contribution.
