So people always ask, what this is. It's a vibrator, it's a massager, it brings a lot of blood to the surface. It's not a sander.
It's not a sander youtubers...
We already adjusted his low back. We start out with pelvis and we adjust L4, L5.
He came in from Yelp. He's what you call a crack addict (laughs).
I like trying to get the patient relaxed. Still a little bit more, he's pretty tight in there.
He's a mechanic, works on Stikers.
I like going down the ITband, the hamstring.
We're doing a little bit of traction here.
I like to place my hand right at the base of the sacrum. He can definitely feel it deeper.
Then I work on what's called the paraspinal by bringing my hand across the shoulder blade.
Then I like to get nice and deep into the lumbar spine right through here. Actually, as my hands position goes up I'm at each of the spinuses.
So I'm right at L5 sacrum, now I'm at L4 and then L3... 2 and 1.
Now we'll increase the depth on this for him a little bit. We'll do a little side to side position here to open up the areas. So I'm going right in by the QL muscle. Right here to help relax that.
Move your body down this way.
We're going to work on the mid spine right through here by crossing the arms over.
What happens is when patients get adjusted like this, you finally feel like a sense of relief but there's what we in chiropractic
share a lot of endorphins, and chemicals start moving around the body...
It's almost like you
get more relaxed.
You feel good, you feel better because we're opening up the most important organ we're working with is your nervous system.
We're going to do a traction, lift your head.
Since he works with his hands a lot, and his body a lot, we're going to adjust the hands. There's 26 bones in the hand.
Going to make sure some of the primary areas are lubrid for him.
And now on both sides you can feel the wrists releasing.
Look at the difference.Do you see it already?
There's about a 50% improvement already.
So we talked about what was called this fore head translation, fore head posture.
When he first came in, the head was forward at least 4 inches.
Now it's about 2 inches.
You want to see the alignment of the ear to the shoulders, because the shoulders roll forward so much, we got some work to do.
And that's because he tends to do his work in a downward position.
Anybody that's on the computer
So this is another tool that I use.
Helps adjust people.
I'm going right on this area here, do you feel that?
We're going to adjust the atlas.
We're going to adjust the right back at L4.
So be aware of your posture.
I think the number 1 thing that you can do when you are not seeing me. I actually have this on my hip videos...
Put your hands behind your back like this... shoulder blades retracted like this... extend your head back like this...
If you want to add a little bit more, stretch back...
It will help change some of the posture in your shoulders as well as your head position.
Do it whenever you think throughout the day.
Once an hour. It's really huge, before you do a run or a workout, just do that simple stretch.
As you educate your body to a better posture, so anything in alignment is going to run smoother, you know that.
- So what do you think?
I feel really good.
Dr Warwick is awesome!
