This article is a transcribed, edited summary of a video Bob and Brad recorded in December 2024. For the original video, go to https://youtu.be/EjcBDyOqjpQ
Mike: Do you suffer from muscle knots in your neck, upper traps, or shoulder area?
Brad: Oh. We've got a simple solution for you, and it doesn't even include exercise.
Mike: Today, we are talking about upper trap neck pain due to muscle knots. Now, we're going to tell a little story about Bob, but Brad's going to represent Bob in this. I hope you feel you have to get a little taller for this.
Brad: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mike: Anyway, so Bob started out his day like most people do, working at his computer for a couple of hours, and then he started to notice some muscle knots creeping in, in that upper back, neck, trap region. Now Bob knew some corrective exercises and had the proper setup at home, but this still happens, and he wanted immediate relief. So, what did he turn to?
Brad: Ah!
Mike: The far infrared heating pad.
Brad: There you go, absolutely. Now, the big difference between the far infrared and using a regular hot pad is that it penetrates into the muscle over two inches deep. If you use a regular hot pad, it is only surface deep.
Mike: Two to three millimeters deep.
Brad: Right, so it's about 10 times deeper. So it really gets in and loosens the muscles up as a result. So, we've got this Thermotex Platinum model, but I have to get it on my back so that when I type, and I'm working, we need to have some comfort. So we've come up with an idea on how to get that on your back. So, we're going to show you that right now and make a big difference, so you can work efficiently. So Bob, in all of his wisdom, knew that on the Thermotex, you have to put it on one side; the heat, the far infrared rays only come off of the side with the panels, not the other side. So we need it at this level, the panel in, and if you get two of these straps, you can use those to go around your shoulder. And it simply holds it on.
Brad: There's nothing real high tech about it. It works well, though. And there we go. You get those arranged properly, and voila. The nice thing about this is that you can disconnect it in case you need to get up from your workstation, walk around, get a drink of water, or take the cat out for whatever reason. So, that is kind of handy. Well, talking from personal experience. There's on, off, there's no three ranges like a lot of them have, which makes it simpler, and it will penetrate into those middle traps, upper trap, wherever you position it, that 2.36 inches and relax. So, Mike, did I miss anything?
Mike: You want to mention that our discount code FAMOUSPTX is the only one that includes these two straps. If you just buy it straight from their site, the straps will not come with it.
Brad: Yeah, so it's actually a win-win situation. Not only do you get two straps, but you get a discount with it.
Mike: Yes.
Brad: So it's really cool. Now, the other thing we should mention as therapists, if you are getting tight muscles as you're typing with your laptop or your computer, make sure your screen is not too low. Mike, can you help me out with, you know, get some boxes, some cushions, whatever it takes. You can actually even go online or to the store and buy an actual elevation thing for your screen. Doesn't matter, but get it up higher. And this actually could go a little bit higher. That's also going to help, along with the hot pad.
Brad: So, and the other thing I do want to mention about this hot pad, it's not cheap, but here, take it off once, Mike.
Mike: Oh my goodness.
Brad: The cool thing about it is that it not only works well for your upper back, but your lower back, you can use it around your quadriceps, your hamstrings, your calves, and your hip. It really is a versatile hot pack. So, you're gonna use it for all parts of your body if you would like to. There, I pretty much popped over your part.
Mike: You stole the show.
Brad: Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Mike.
Mike: Anyway, if you want to watch more videos on how to fix the issues with your muscles and proper setup, watch "Real Patient with Upper Trap Pain." It's a real patient video who was actually suffering from these same issues. So, we address more exercises and proper computer setup in that video.
Brad: There you go. Yeah, now, like mine, I just use it in my recliner. I put it back there.
Mike: And you just fall asleep.
Brad: Yeah, and I got an adjustable recliner in my recliner, so I push a button, and it gives me proper ergonomics in there.
Mike: You got a recliner within your recliner?
Brad: Yeah, it is the coolest thing. Anyways, take care, have a good day.
