About Bob and Brad
Bob and Brad is the product brand built by physical therapists Bob Schrupp and Brad Heineck, who started a YouTube physical-therapy education channel in 2011 that has since grown to more than 5 million subscribers. That clinical-education audience became the launchpad for a consumer product line, and the brand has stated it has sold more than 1 million massage guns worldwide. Bob and Brad's own storefront at bobandbrad.com now spans massage guns, foot massagers, neck and shoulder massagers, back massagers, and heat/cold therapy devices, each one designed with input from the pair's combined clinical background.
In our own testing, two Bob and Brad devices earned individual recognition: the D5 Pro Massage Gun in our massage gun roundup and the Foot Massager Machine with Heat in our foot massager roundup, each evaluated the same way as every other product we review — for build quality, measurable specs, and real-world review performance, not brand reputation alone.

Why we recognized Bob and Brad
The BestRatedDocs Top Brand recognition isn't paid for and can't be applied for. We award it to the brands whose products consistently stand out in our category reviews. Bob and Brad earned it on the strength of the products below, evaluated the same way every product on this site is: assessed against clinical criteria, verified specifications, and real-world user outcomes, and judged on merit.
Bob and Brad products we rated highly
BOB AND BRAD D5 Pro Massage Gun with 13mm Amplitude FSA-HSA Eligible
55 lbs of stall force matches or exceeds devices at three times the price, driving the 13mm amplitude into dense muscle and fascia without the motor stalling. An OLED display with four dynamic modes (Constant, Pulse, Auto, Gradually) adds clinical versatility rarely found on single-mode guns, and 40-51 dB operating noise keeps that power quiet at a power class where competitors often run past 65 dB. It's rated 4.6 stars across more than 4,100 reviews and is FSA/HSA eligible with 20W USB-C fast charging and a 4-hour runtime.

BOB AND BRAD Foot Massager Machine with Heat
Fits up to men's size 14, the largest foot chamber in our lineup, with full-foot coverage including the toes that most competitors neglect.

It carries a 4.4-star rating across more than 2,300 reviews.
