Hey guys what's going on it's Xiaoma, good morning!
Guys, I have some back issues
I hope you can't see my underwear here but...
But I've got a lot of stiffness, I've got a lot of back pain
And I got in touch with this guy who is a Chiropractor
But he's also a YouTuber
He's going to crack my bones today and see if we can
Fix my back
I'm actually ridiculously nervous right now
I've never done chiropractic before so...
I don't know, honestly just from watching the videos
It makes me really nervous
If you look at his channel it's just all...
Cracking
And what's interesting is, I have this new YouTube channel called The Animal Cracker
Where I work on only animals, horses, dogs, pigs, cows, chickens, goats, sheep
You work on goats?
Yeah, soon to be giraffes and elephants too
Elephants!?
Yes, because I'm training all of them
I went back to school a coupe of years ago
How do you Chiropractic an elephant?
Well, I would need scaffolding
Or some double laddering to get up there
Do you have any chief complaints today?
Back soreness, back stiffness are probably the main issues I have
Well we're going to work on you today, we're going to do some great stuff
We're going to excavate stress
Get it out of there
Excavate, I love that word. Ok.
And we're going to see what happens ok?
Wonderful
Alright, lets go
Go down as low as you can and touch your toes
And stop when it gets to tight
You're getting there, and drop your head a little bit too
You do feel that right?
Yeah
Ok and come back up again
Point to the spot
So you're pointing right in the middle
Yeah
Correct? It's not left or right it's the middle
And that's L5 so that's the lower lumbar
So I'm going to have you star face down
So now I'm going to put this around your ankle
Yeah
And this is the part where I tie you up
Do it
And you are going to put your hands on these hand things
Oh man it's like a medieval rack oh god
Try to reach this
Alright let me pull you even more
There you go you're on it
Yeah
Now I'm going to start this machine
And stretch you apart
And it goes into the lower back and stretches
Now I can add to it by pushing into the muscle
Yeah
Does it feel good or...
Yeah it feels good it feels really good
It feels so good
Right there
So I'm digging into the muscles
Yeah
I'm not going easy on you
Ok
But you know you've got some bad spots
Yeah, I do
You're like a young old man
A young old man? Oh no
You're young but you have a few spots that feel old
Yeah
Like this spot right here
Does not feel your age
It feels like it's a little achy
Oh boy
And we've got to freshen it up
We've got to make it match the rest of you
I'm just pulling you apart
I'm pulling apart your bones and your ligaments and your muscles
It's so good
But it's good too, you're going to be so loose when you get up
Now I'm digging my elbow into your traps
And your rhomboids
My rhomboids
And your levator scapula
What
I don't think my back has ever been stretched like this
No, we're really mauling you
And we didn't even start yet, this is just the warm ups
I haven't done any Chiropractic on you yet
To me this is all Chiropractic
So now my elbow
Yeah
Is a little high but it's right near the quadratus lumborum
Which is a Latin word I know you are a language guy
Language guy
What did you just say?
I said oh f***
In what language?
In Mandarin
Alright cool
Right in there
So the next thing we're going to do ... we're having so much fun
Ah this is great
At least I'm having fun
I'm having fun
That feels good too
Yeah, so this is the hypervolt massage machine
And I'm just going to loosen you up a little bit
Mmhmm
There we go
So now we're going to go right in there
Ok
And that's one of your problem spots
Yeah
One more breath in
And blow it out
We stretched your back so touch your toes ok
All the way down
Little looser right?
Yeah, a lot looser actually
Good
So we're in here now
It's just crackling
So again I'm just stretching and getting to feel everything
You are really tight up in here
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
I didn't even know I had those
The next thing I'm going to do is look at your nose
Now your nose deviates this way
So we might adjust that today we'll adjust your septum
Lets check your face
Open your mouth, all the way
And close
And open all the way
Lets check everything
That feels so funny
I think we should start with the Y strap
The what strap?
The Y strap
The Y strap!?
So we're going to put this around you like this
Ok, big breath in
And blow it out
It feels good though
You'll be decompressed
I feel like you're still tight up in here
Yeah
So that's the one we have to get next
Let the head drop
There's one right in here, do you feel that nasty spot?
Yeah
So I'm going to...
And got it
You're like a dark magician
Oh my god
Oh my god that was crazy
Move your neck around, your neck should be able to go smoothly
Oh my god, whoa!
It's totally different
It's completely different
It's like...
I can't even describe the feeling but there is no effort in moving my neck around at all
So we've released a lot
Your shoulders out on the right do you know that?
What?
Watch this, bring your shoulder up
And it's just really tight
Super tight
Look the shoulder buckles up right away
So in a way it's already compensating
So as soon as I begin internal rotation
The shoulder jumps up
And tries to cheat
And then I'm going to get in on this too
Ok
And work some of these problems
And I think that's one of the problems
So that's one of the problems there
And now watch my knee
See my knee is moving you around a little bit
What is this
Good
Right in there
I'm going to drop my elbow right on it
And separate it
Right there a little more
Just don't take It off
And then I'm going to repeat this a little bit
Oh my god ok
Now I'm going to switch
And go under the arm now
And I'm going to go in here
And I'm going to look for a pressure point ok
Ok
We call them trigger points but there the same thing
Let me get yours
That's good down here so I'm coming up
And yours is a little higher it's right there
So that's it
And I'm just going to hold that for a second
And stretch your arms long
And pull it out
Good
Now I'm going to combine that
What!
With adjusting
And I trap your elbow right in my armpit
So I can control you
And adjusted
Now I'm going to criss cross your arms with a follow up move
And I got it
I'm crying I'm literally crying
We're working on
Mechanically freeing up some of your segments
That some of your functionality that is shut down
I'm going to do some toes now
Ok
Now you thought if forgot about the nose
But we still have to get the septum ok
I was hoping you forgot about that
When I go this way it's kind of stuck
So it's stuck right here where the nasal bone meets the septum
And I'm just going to adjust that right back in
Now breathe
Wow
That is so cool
I mean my whole body feels way looser
It was just like this resistance to moving that you didn't realize was there for so long
Your shoulder should be moving better, your neck
Oh my god
I feel really good right now
Your eyes look brightened
Yeah!
Thanks man that was amazing
